What about the MF and residual for 12k miles / 36 months through lexus? Also, do you know why edmunds hasnt updated the incetives and rebates section? I know lexus, mercedes and others have all kinds of incentives and they are not posted. Thanks for your help.
Any insight into the current lexus program specials? Looking at a south florida 2006 ls430 MSRP 73,899 purchase price 62,899 with 39 mos/12k miles and inceptions only upfront. I'm shopping a similar MSRP 67,264 purchase price 57,264 as well.
what should the MF/residual be and are they different between the two packages (custom lux and ultra lux)?
Thanks!

The timing is not right for me, but could be in a few weeks, but I think 10% or even 12% below invoice is a fair purchase price since this car has over 6000 miles on it. MSRP on this 430 is $64320, Invoice is $55611, I would think $48 or $49k is a fair price. Comments welcome, what do you think?
Happy motoring!
There just are not many 430's left with the NAV screen packages. Reluctantly I have now turned my attention to the 460 like everyone else. Maybe in the spring there will be some slight discounting. In 3 years there will be less demand for the 430 as the 460 is a superior package and will be a year younger used car. It will be worth almost all the price differential you paid if you get stuck at invoice today for a 430 (my opinion).
Thanks tjohn... I have never bought a luxury car before and the shopping is an education.
They have 10 USED LS 430's, 5 NEW 2005 LS's & 7 NEW 2006 LS's...all on one LOT!!!
If anybody wants a good deal go to Nalley Lexus Galleria, they would be foolish not to sell any one of those cars to someone that is willing to buy one.
happy motoring
I just bought a 2006 LS 430 (10k miles) dealer car (never titled) with all the options (i.e. ultra lux package with dynamic radar cruise control & Pre-collision) for 51k black with (Ecru) interior.
thanks

The part about that being the only way to make money is baloney..
Assume you are borrowing $30,000, for 60 months... That adds $840 to your deal.. Not a small matter.
Did the F&I guy tell you this after you agreed on a price? If so, just go back.. and tell them you will only do the deal at the Lexus advertised rates. Evidently, the sales manager thought he was making a profit, or he wouldn't have agreed to sell you the car for that amount.

I still have this car which now has 70K miles on it. The only problem thus far is the CD player just got a problem this week. The CDs cannot be removed nor will it play. It was working fine and when I tried to remove a CD it went through the routine but then hung up.
Thank you.
Better choice because you save money! I nearly got the LS 460 last month but decided to wait until 2009 when I can get a CPO 2007 Ultra for several thousands less than the premium they are charging now. Also, the LS 600h will be out by then.
If you plan to keep the car for a while, you may consider buying the 2004 model because you get more options e.g. smart access (which is not available in the 2003 model). Take a look at Lexus of Silver Spring, MD; they had a sizable inventory and they are good people.
I will be glad to give you a contact person there. Good luck.
dealer has three 2002 CPOs listed on their website
1) 31K miles, $31788, Nav, Levinson sound,
2) 56k miles, $28988, Nav, Levinson sound
3) 55k miles, $28488, NO nav, no Levinson
so, what questions should I be asking when looking at these? are there specific maintenance or wear items I should try to make sure are already done? what prices should i be shooting for (i know about TMV, i'm looking for real world what people are seeing)? etc.
thx in advance for ideas.

I bought a 2001 LS430 in DFW area this past weekend here were the specifics:
60K miles, great condition, full service records since new; 60K mile service performed; new F/R brakes; new tires; no navigation; no levinson sound
$24700 price
-$3500 trade-in
+$1792 3yr/36K mile Total Protection Plan 'Deluxe' Extended Warranty (they originally offered this at $2540, I kept asking questions and punching random #s in my calculator and shaking my head and the finance man kept lowering the price)
+1250something tax
financed at 6.55% (again, finance man originally quoted 7.5%; i said i would probably just wait to do the loan until monday when my credit union opened. ta-da lower rate)
I have seen;
03,with 23k miles 33,500 ask
04,with 29k miles 31,900 ask
02,with 22k miles 28,000 ask
Bid on a couple on Ebay but have seen some real shady stuff (no reserve car sold then put up next day by same dealer with different id,shill?)and have some concerns but certainly don't want to pay the Lexus dealer used car price.
Anyone else been shopping,buying?
thanks

It's hard to find historical residuals.. unless there is data in this discussion from 2004.

I will check that out.I was thinking that a web site that matched buyers with lease ending sellers would be a good idea.The buyer could pay a slight premium over what the lessors buyout and still do better than buying it from a dealer who took it back.A win win.

Two things I would be concerned about;
Your comming up on some pricey services (60K)and you will have to go to the dealer so you keep him happy to deal with the CPO covered issues.
And once you over 50k they seem to take a big hit in price.
JMO but I would rather have a lower mileage 04 that a higher 05.
