Hi folks,

I just purchased a 2001 Ultra Luxury LS430 from a great "lexus" guy in Texas. Car is black with burgundy interior. Mint condition with 59K miles. I bought her for 14K. Is this a good price for this model with the mileage? Also I like the burgundy interior but had never seen one before, is this relatively rear?

 

That's a steal for such a low mile 01 UL. Carfax clean? We need pics of the interior!

 

Here's the KBB private party value for your UL 01 LS430
Excellent = $16,840
Good = $16,040
Fair = $15,040

Here's the KBB trade-in value for your UL 01 LS430
Excellent = $13,900
Good = $13,225
Fair = $12,075


Congrats on your new find!
Looks like you got an awesome deal on a very low mileage (for an 01) LS. Plus it's very rare to hear/see burgundy interior for an LS as I've seen the new 2010 LS460 with Black and Saddle Tan Leather trim.
Post some pics when you can.

 

Thanks a bunch! Carfax and Autocheck are clean and I have all service records since day 1. I will be posting pics soon. The interior with the bordeux leather is incredible.

Thanks again!

 

Great Deal, never heard of burgandy interior but, sounds like your happy. Thats most important! The price is a great price and those miles!!!!! WOW! very low for a 2001 is a little over 6,500 miles a year if you say the car is 9 years of age. WOW!!!! What a deal!!! L.G.N.M

 

14K is a good deal. congrats.. I could use a larger sedan, but I'd need to trade in the mazda

 

Congrats! It sounds like a great find. I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of that rare interior color. How does it compare to the burgandy in my Allante?

 

I don't think the Bordeoux was a "red" as your Caddy. It's more comparable to the Saddle, but slightly more redish it seems. I've never one except for a recent thread that was going around mentioning it.

I personally like the saddle, but it was too contrasty for my wife. So we went black on black...

Can't wait to see some pics from the OP.

 

I've seen only a couple of the LS with Burgandy interior. They differ in the usual ways that Lexus differs from the domestics -- aside from the quality and finish of the materials themselves, the Lexus has the wood and other contrasting trim that keeps the interior from looking like everything was spray-painted a single color.

We're getting 8" of snow today. I just needed a reason to post a picture of my summer car with the top down.

 

You absolutely got an incredible deal!
I purchased a brand new UL in 2001 and the Bordeaux leather was not offered to me as an option. I have since seen only one - on eBay.

The Bordeaux appears to me to be darker, more brown, than the saddle.
You have what is indeed a rare interior and in my opinion the most attractive.

Congratulations! Where did you find it (craigslist, autotrader...etc.)? I know this is too good a deal to be from the Lexus store.

 

 

so it's going to look like KILLERGS4's interior?

 

Hi guys, thanks for all the great comments. Here are some pics. Won her on ebay, very clean and well maintained with 100% service history, clean carfax and autocheck.

 

nice color combo. Never seen this color interior before... thanks for posting the pics
