This one:

I did look at that one but the 5 previous owner and higher mileage made me bypass it. However, the white and those wheels are my preferred choice.

Lexus shows it as a FL car. And it was in AZ in 2014 where it was serviced by a local Lexus dealer.

The Car Fax on the white LS shows 62 records. I don't have the full report but that seems kinda crazy.

I agree with you, that white '06 looks good in the pictures. It also seems to be well priced. 102k is nothing on these cars if it's had the maintenance done.

Yeah? even with 5 previous owners?

I went to check out the silver LS and I'm not feeling it. It has several deep scratches on the hood and trunk and rear bumper. The guy that is selling is like a car broker so he has other cars that he's selling it and this LS was all dusty and the engine was dusty as well. It did ride pretty smooth compared to my GS but that's a given since my GS is a F Sport and it has low profile tires.

I'm going to check that white one and see if they have a CarFax for it.

Here's another 06 white one with the 18" wheels and 107k miles.

It had some damage body damage in 2006 when it had 5k miles and it looks like it's had frequent oil changes.

So I went to check out the Cypress Pearl and it was pristine like the pics showed it. Definitely loved the ride compared to my GS. Lots more quiet and the A/C is way colder than GS and the LS wasn't even on the lo setting. The dealer didn't budge on price so it would come out to 15.5k out the door.
I told him if he's ever wiling to come down to the 12 or 13k out the door to give me a call.

So the search continues haha.

although the white car has 30,000 more miles, lots of things are 2 years newer. for instance all the rubber seals that will wear out and the carpets and dash are 2 years newer. and the '04 model has more issues than the '06 model year. some '04 have issues with sunscreens and cupholders that I have not heard about on the newer -06's. I would not be concerned with the mileage on any of those and would get the one that I would like to see in my driveway. when I bought my car it was the most LS430 that I could afford at the time. it just happens to be brown. I would prefer white or silver, and almost traded up to a CL version that was gold a few years ago. you should consider what you want, ML, CL, UL or base/premium almost as much as color. just my opinion

I would not be concerned with the mileage on any of those and would get the one that I would like to see in my driveway. when I bought my car it was the most LS430 that I could afford at the time. it just happens to be brown. I would prefer white or silver, and almost traded up to a CL version that was gold a few years ago. you should consider what you want, ML, CL, UL or base/premium almost as much as color. just my opinion
Good points. I didn't know that the 2004's had more issues but good to know!

I do want ML and ca either go with nav or no nav since my GS has navigation. My top choice is white with 18's.

Hang in there. The right car will come along and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if you hear back from the Cypress Pearl dealer. Unless he paid too much in the first place he will probably call you back. However, you're doing the right thing and moving on. If it's meant to be it will happen.

I'll also say my '04 didn't have any more issues that you wouldn't find on a another 13 yr old car. An '04 LS, in general, is a quality built car.

Yeah I pretty much agree.....I filter out all but 2006, and honestly I think the avg. price has dropped 2k since I purchased last OCT.....and, no joke, the mileage is the same. I think for many people except us on the forum, this is an old car and not necessarily a daily driver. Most people would consider 2006 old. So imho the longer you wait, the more the price falls, with mileage not increasing at 12k/yr. So it only gets sweeter and sweeter. If it were me I'd like a CL for the laminated side glass, and the washers are cool, soft close doors I'll take 'em too....me I would want that aniline leather, probably not that common but there is something to be said on finding what you want. Why pay thousands for something you're just ok with? my .02

Yeah I think he did pay more for it but hopefully he'll be willing to negotiate. About month ago I had found a 20006 in Cypress with cashmere and it had 68k miles and priced in the high 13k and I was ready to buy it but it was gone by the time I got to the dealer haha. It was gone in like 3 days.

I totally agree with you. I might have to looks like in CA since I've seen some nice looking 2006's over there.

Find out more about the service history. Pull the details and/or ask to see the service records, especially for the timing belt. You have to see what else was done with the timing belt like the water pump and/or tensioner. Price is definately at the top end for the year and mileage but it could be worth it and/or they might come down a little on the price.

Looks like it's a sport suspension from the pics. You should confirm that as well.
