Replying to: gteach26 (Mar 26, 2006 3:13 pm) I have had no trouble with my LS either. I don't think it's the prettiest car on the road, but I'm pretty well convinced it's the best at what it's supposed to do. They are amazingly well put together. The Navigation is the best I've seen so far as well. Ford uses an almost identical system, also made by Denso. GM uses a much less user friendly and less reliable unit in my experience. All things considered, the LS is a terrific performer (mine has gone 133mph). I'm wondering how much they'll let the 06's go for here close to 460 introduction....

Replying to: nvbanker (Mar 27, 2006 9:41 pm) I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the 2006 LS going for 15-20% off of MSRP later this year. Always best to buy just before the introduction of a new model. Got my 545 that way.

Replying to: maxhonda99 (Jul 23, 2005 4:52 pm) Quick question:   As a value-added offering (due to a scratch on a panel which they replaced), our sales person said they'd like to give us a free Touch of Class. Would you advise against it -- if it were free?   Thanks!

Does anyone have any experience with Nalley Lexus-Roswell or Hennessy Lexus of Atlanta? I like the salesman I deal with at Bulter Lexus in Macon, but their service dept. is not the best.   Len

#468 of 536 new 2005 LS430 possible? by rl53 May 22, 2006 (11:37 am)
Hi there,   I am in the market for a late model Pre-owned LS430. however, I came across a ebay auction by a Lexus dealer in MI. They are selling a brand new 2005 LS430 with 70 miles(the auction expired 4/20/06). Is it possible that a dealer can sell a brand new car that's a model year old as new car? The Buy-it-now price was $49900 which i don't think is competitve at all if one can get a 06 LS430 for around mid-low $50k? Any comments? Something I need to watch out for a deal like this? Thanks in advance.   RL Replies to this message: nvbanker (May 22, 2006 2:44 pm) rl53 (May 23, 2006 9:57 am) rgsw (May 24, 2006 7:33 pm)

Replying to: rl53 (May 22, 2006 11:37 am) Well, yes a Lexus dealer can sell an 05 Lexus as new, as long as it's never been titled, and it seems this one hasn't, just has "demo" miles on it. Not excessive at all for a car that's had a birthday on the lot.   What's the sticker price? I would expect a deep discount for an 05 at this point - they should be happy to sell it for cost. I would expect a $10,000 to $14,000 discount off the sticker...... Replies to this message: rl53 (May 23, 2006 9:57 am) rgsw (May 24, 2006 7:33 pm)

Replying to: nvbanker (May 22, 2006 2:44 pm) I believe it's just a basic car. no options. Plus, Is it good for a car just to keep it sit there for a year? Probably the tires already got flat spot on them from being parked for so long. Replies to this message: rgsw (May 24, 2006 7:33 pm)

Replying to: rl53 (May 23, 2006 9:57 am) May not be the best to just have the car sit there for a year; however, it should still have the full force of the four year/fifty thousand mile warranty. I would hope that any problems (I doubt if there are any) would show up soon. One might consider having the dealer do the 10,000 mile/one year service prior to taking delivery. They should include new windshield wipers also. As for the tires, the flat spots should work themselves out, if not Lexus will provide free balance and align for the first year/12,000 miles. That would give you some time to argue the problem if the tires don't smooth out, maybe upgrade to Miechlein's? Good Luck

I agree - if you like the car and the discount is good, buy it - unless you plan to trade it in a few short years. You'll depreciate more than you want to. But if you're going to keep it 6 years or longer, it won't matter much.
