Default Question for LS owners

I've been looking to get ride of my CLK 500 and move into a bigger JAP made car. I've had plenty of small problems with my CLK and I'm tired of it.

If I can get a LS 460 for under 54k should I do it? Comes with the Sound system and the park assist. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

A lot would depend on where you live, the competition, the vehicle condition and miles, and the color. I would assume you would be talking a used 2007 model? Even at that, that's a pretty low price for a $72,000 brand new retail price since were just heading into 2008. You never know...good luck!

I'll try to give some specifics. It's a brand new 07 and under a 6% interest rate.

what's the msrp on the car though, 54k sounds very low (in a good way) for the car if the msrp is 70k

MSRP: $61,000 - $71,000

This isn't the L, just the 460

I agree, this sounds really low but if it is legit and it comes from an authorized Lexus dealership then I would say jump on it.

I don't recall seeing any of those "sliding-scale" MSRP's before.

well i believe a very base ls460 is around 63k? that's very basic, if that's the case, then it's not a car that i would want (and probably why they have a hard time selling it)

but if it's the 70k msrp ls460, nice

Must be - but he specifically said it wasn't an L.

My mistake (?). LOL.
