Hello

I did a quick spreadsheet for some Lexus LS430's -this is the 2005 year data. I wonder is there is a pattern ... I think I see one.

The Red are CarMax, Yellow is EBay 'buy me now' price and the pink are Calif Lexus ( got idea on vacation) dealers advertised prices, the purple X's are AutoLenders.com ( Philly area ), the light blue X's are Cars.com. Most have Nav's

Do you agree with the red line on the attachment - anything below is a good deal ( or of questionable background - like some eBay units with a poor carfax records )

Just how much bargaining can one do on an autotrader or cars.com price ??

Great forum

Regards
Greg

Similar data for 2006

Blue is CarMax
Yellow is eBay
single pink square is Lexus in Calif
rest are assortment of auto trader & Cars.com

all have Nav's ( except I didn't verify Carmax ). Set criteria for Nav unit - to sort out base models

Comments help
Regards

A dealer who is registered with Manheim Auto Auction has access to the auction's database with prices that cars are sold for including LS430's. I was at the one in PA a couple weeks ago and purchased an '02 LS430 with navigation for $18,140 with 77,000 miles. Well my dealer friend bought it for me and I had to pay him 10% of the purchase price. Still thought I got a good deal though and both Carfax and Autocheck checks out wonderfully.

ouch, not exactly cheap. I usually pay anywhere from $300-$400 bucs per car.

Oh wow, incredible! I reckon I should have been on here before I bought the car.
