If it is running good there is no way anyone is getting my near mint 06 LS430 for less than $15k EVER. I'd rather just keep it and drive it forever than give it away for some silly-^&* low price.

I have a Flint Mica with around 83K miles and drive around 5K a year. I noticed that yours is Black Cherry... That's a great color. If you ever decide to sell, let me know. Thanks.

I've noticed it's harder to find 04-06's now and find an LS430 with a black or saddle interior is impossible now in my area.

I agree 01-03 have dropped in value over the last year or so . Altho the sub 100k mile cars in good shape can still pull good money. I like the wood grain used in the 01-03 much better then the ugly wood that came in the 04-06 . Also worth noting is that LS430's in general are getting harder to finance . My bank , BB&T, only loans money for cars up to 8 years old.
