there is no way the ls430 will tumble in price like the q45, not even close. look at the ls400 vs the very first gen q45 and you will see the same

but to me i still believe the price of 430 will take a little dump after the ls460 fully populates

are q45's bad? I always had a soft spot for the first gens. And the 2002+ models look pretty advanced and well made. Anybody here actually owned one before?

Next year alot of the 04 LS430 will be coming off leases. That will be the best time to pick one up. I might just get an 04. So far I can not justify the $70k for a LS460 with out all the techno bells and wistles like lane departure and the driver face warning thing. I want all the toys. So far we see only the 600 will get them all but for over $100k.

An 04 Ultra will hold me out for a couple of years.
