I've been looking at LS models in this price range (I'm in FL). All of the lenders I've used in the past have a 2014 cutoff for their published rates/terms. 2013 and back seems to be capped at 48 or 60 months and carries a higher interest rate. I've even started excluding 2013 from my searches knowing that paying for the car would cost more. I wonder if the issues you've had with buyers being unable to line up financing might be related to this.
Edit: I am curious about this car, BTW. I haven't been looking at L models so I have no idea how much extra they typically fetch over regular wheelbase examples. The colors both inside and outside are exactly what I've been looking for. First I have to go measure my garage!

amazing rates and the age of car doesn’t matter. They have locations all over Florida. In my experience even when buying the car the L models fetch 2-3k more. However I am priced quite low for an L. I put it on auto trader last week at 33.5 and have had a few calls I just haven’t had the time to show it.

10K+ price reduction over a year. I checked cars.com and he does have it priced a few K under dealer prices. Problem is the car is a depreciating asset and I'm sure he's open to serious offers if someone was a cash buyer. I think for luxury cars it's harder to sell on the used private market since most people at this price range buy from Dealers. Good luck with the sale.
As of this post I will be removing the ad.

But there is a reason why your car has not been sold for a year. Not many people are willing to spend $30K on a used car from a private seller with around 45,000 miles on it, and I believe many of them choose to go to dealer to save potential troubles.
The ad is gone now, but still good luck to you selling the car soon.

I think he could have sold his car if he tired aggressively- I sold my ls460 like 1000 more what the dealer was giving me as trade ; I needed it gone and it moved in 2 weeks. Car was perfect like most members here we keep our cars clean/well maintained. Having said that he can probably trade in for 25-26 and if it was selling here for that price maybe a little more it would have been gone quick. Having said that; I almost feel like he took it down because of the negative stuff it got here which I think is not nice. ...we should be considerate of members here.
I do not think that is trash talk, he gave a fair opinion. Of course, you, the seller, do not like it. I suppose you like commentary like "This is the best deal I have ever seen, give me 10!".

It IS an issue and we have a rule against it that was already warned about earlier in the thread in addition to being posted in the classified rules. Please don't do this in future for sale ads.
if you don't like what's posted for whatever reason, then move on and don't buy it. The classifieds on our forum are not a place to offer random commentary and opinion because it results in unnecessary situations like this.
