Default Just got myself a LS430!!

After having owned a LS400 for a few years, my baby is getting tired. She is a 95' with 170K. I decided to get a new car so that my baby can rest more. I still keep it though. Anyways, I just bought a 01' LS430. The car is pine green. She has 57,000 miles on it. One owner vehicle from Florida. I believe it has the basic model - no NAV, no heated seats, 16" wheels instead of 17". The car overall is in excellent condition, drove back from FL to MO - drives like a dream. I bought it for $23,000 out the door. Do you guys think I got a good deal? I checked KBB and seems like even the private party value ranges from 24K to 28K. WIll post pic soon.

Sounds like a fair deal to me. I bought my 2001 LS430 last year for $26K (also one owner - good condition). It had 31K miles on the clock.

Hey congrats Bro, I just bought an 02 Ultra and it was a total shock to me how awesome these cars are. SInce you're coming up from a previous LS, the current bodystyle is lightyears ahead of the previous one interior especially. I'm sure you'll get years of good smooth ridin out of it. I believ you got a great deal. ENjoy and post pics!

Congrats on the car and great deal. How the heck did you guys find that kind of deal on LS430. Here in Nor cal it still go for like 29k+. I just sold my GS400 still deciding what should i get next. Of course i'm still staying in the LEX family. Just picked up myself another Sc300 but i want to have a 4drs. Either 2003 Q45 or 2001 LS430 depend on the deal. So if anyone come across with a good deal on the LS430 please let me know. I already found a Q45 with 65k miles black on black for 17,500. I want to go for the VIP look.

Good luck with it. Sounds just like my story. I had a 1996 LS400, had it for about 4 1/2 years. Then Picked up a 01 LS430 about 2 1/2 months ago. Both great cars, The 01 is more refinded and I love it...paid about $21K for mine with 70K on it....
