Default Did I pay too much?

First off, I lived in Japan for 6 years after college and worked with some of the engineers who designed and built Lexus parts, so I am the HUGEST fan of these remarkable, well built cars. In Japan it was called the Windom I think. When I came back to the US I Bought a 95 LS400 is 98 and LOVED it so much I would not trade it in for my new one..it has 160K miles and still looks great and runs like a chamo. I *looked* at the 460s and decided I liked the "traditional" looking LS..and those prices are getting CRAZY high..if I had 100K to blow I might get a 460L..hahah

Anyway, picked up up my DREAM ride today and love it. 2005 LS 430 with 18K miles, navigation, grey with black leather. I paid 35K and live near Dallas. It still has 32K and 1 yr or so on the warranty.

Did I get hosed on the $$? This car is remarkable and gives me wood..for real

:-)

thanks!

FIRST....


WELCOME TO CLUBLEXUS

Glad to have you join us in our little corner of the internet.

Now on with the car,

with 18K on the clock, i think you got a car that was barely broken in yet. So I wouldnt say you over payed at all.

Which package did your purchase come with? (great color combo btw)

As said above, if you're happy, you got a great deal.

Once you buy a car, you'll always find some that are lower priced, but the stars aligned to put you into the car you bought.

If it hasn't been painted the deal is a good one. Good luck with it.
