Default 2004 Base Good Deal?

I would greatly appreciate your input on the following LS430.

2004 Base Flint Mica Ls430 for 13k with 130k miles.

Pretty Routine Service Records from Lexus. T Belt changed at 120k.

3 Owners, No accidents.

Thanks in advance.

if you have it inspected and it comes out clean then $13k is a very good deal imo.

That sounds like an amazing deal assuming the car hasn't been in any accidents.

Yes, it's an excellent deal. I would just make sure the cosmetics are up to snuff if you've verified the service history. My fear would be a car that wasn't garaged with faded paint and a nasty interior.

But assuming nothing is wrong with the car and it's in good shape, I'd say that's below market value.

There is a list like 6 pages back on 04 auction prices in last 2 months. Check lexus.com for service records, get an inspection from a Lexus dealer price is relative.

Thats about auction prices but man its debatable how well these sell with "high" mileage. Or you have to ask why is noone making money on it cold be small, chips,or big, slips. Small dealers no warrantee be extra inverstigative.

wow. seeing LS's go for that in the states makes me wish i would have brought one up. You guys would hate how expensive it is to get one up here. Post photos of the car/interior/bay ETC for a better response.
