I would start by checking out some of the links in the model section of the FAQ thread.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...aq-thread.html

You can then search out the many other threads about purchase advice. Give yourself a few months to find the right car and keep your options open as to equipment and location. Pay attention to the dealer service history. Good luck and keep us posted.

It really depends on the year, package, and mileage. The 01-02 models can be found in the $9,000-$12,000 range with 100,000+ miles. Lower mile 01-03's can go as high as $17,000 if they are in excellent shape with low miles.

The 04 to 06's are the most desirable LS' and can still be fairly expensive. $15,000-$22,000 can get you a clean LS with navigation with under 120,000 miles. The cheaper ones tend to sell quickly though. The super low mileage 05-06's still sell in the $25,000+ range.

Is there a specific year you're looking for?

Yeah it just depends on your budget. The cheaper your budget, the tougher it will be to find a good clean car. If you have more flex, there are some good options out there. I think for a decent 04, probably 16-18k. 01-03s, probably 11-13k, depending on condition.

That's not a bad deal if it's in mint condition. To get a better deal you may have to go out of state.
