I have an opportunity to purchase an '04 with 6,000 miles. The car has the luxury package - NAV, etc. and the sports package with 18' wheels. A Lexus dealership is offering the car for $50,000. Opinions, feedback?

And if you are buying rather than leasing, and plan on keeping the car for a long time, the one year depreciation may be relatively unimportant.

The MSRP new should be around 61,500 for an '05. I'm selling a 94 LS400 with 170,000 that I bought with 32,000 miles 8 years ago, so I'm in the car for the long run. This appears to work for me as the car is exactly the color I want both inside and out. I wonder if this is a good deal or should I keep looking? Thanks to you and Paul for your input.

Replying to: ls430nsc (Dec 05, 2004 5:20 am) Of course, you have to get comfortable with the past history of the car (why is it available for sale from the dealer-- repossessed, demo, owner's wife's car?-- and make them confirm the story with a Carfax report). That's an issue you have to deal with with a used car that doesn't come into play with a new one. If the dealer is certifying it for the Lexus CPO program, although it might not add much more time (3 yrs from your date of purchase) to the new car warranty, it would get you more mileage (goes to 100,000). That could be meaningful if you expect to put on more than 44,000 miles in the next 3 years. And make sure your dealer agrees (in writing) to treat you like a new car purchaser in terms of loaner cars, pick up/drop off service, etc., if you intend to use them for warranty/maintenance work. Good luck! Let us know what you decide to do.

A PA dealer offered me a 2004 LS 430 listed at $67,700.00 (Ultra lux package,,,all bells and whistles) at 10,300.00 below sticker price. Flint/black combo. I can buy it at $57,550.00. Is it better to buy a newer vehicle 2005 with a 10% discount and with a lesser modern lux package as opposed to purchasing the new 2004 alternative vehicle? I need an objective well-reasoned opinion.I'm looking for the best value over time. If the 2005 is a better option, I live in PA. Can any of you ladies and gentlemen provide a dealership...where I can get 10% discount off new vehicle. PA NJ MD are all possible. THanks-Pete I buy the vehicle, keep it for 4-5 years. |
