Default Yikes, Overpriced LS400
This LS400 came up on our local Autotrader.

I know Lexus dealers charge a premium, but its really just another used Lexus with no warranty included.

Seriously, a 1998 LS with over 100000 miles for $15500 USD??
I could only get $14k for my 2000 LS two years ago, with 60k.

Here's the link.

What's the exchange rate right now?
I didn't see the USD.

We're pretty close to even on exchange rates.

$15.9 Canadian works out to $15.4 USD.

169 kilometres works out to about 105 miles.

I'd buy a 2003 LS430 with 150,000 for that much and enjoy the newer platform.

Holy hell. Don't buy it. Let them figure out why they can't sell it.
