#488 of 537 How much for a base LS430 in Massachusetts by dano15 Sep 13, 2006 (11:58 am)
I would like to make an offer on a black LS430 with the list price of $59,700. How much are people paying for such cars in Massachusetts/New Hampshire/Connecticut/Rhode Island?

Replying to: dano15 (Sep 13, 2006 11:58 am) With the new LS460 due in less than a month, you should not pay more than invoice which is about $51,100.

Replying to: dano15 (Sep 13, 2006 11:58 am) Dano15, I hear my local dealer is trying to get rid of their remaining LS430's for $1k under invoice (without breaking a sweat) - call me crazy, but any car on a dealers lot can go for 3% under invoice and still make a little profit for the dealer. Is this true (anyone)? I'm willing to bet you can get $2k to $3k under invoice faily easily right now...Did you buy, yet? Please share your experience.   TJ

Replying to: fin (Oct 25, 2006 1:12 pm) Man, I have been checking this board E V E R Y F R E A K ' N day! When is someone going to make a post that the bought an 06 LS for $3k under invoice???? My local dealer has 2 '05's and 4 '06's that he can't seem to move. I'm tempted to offer $3k under invoice (depending on the respective vehicle) but I'm actually afraid he'll take it....how low can you go and who has gone there??? Please let us know if you got off the lot with a "new" LS430 under invoice and by how much

Replying to: fin (Oct 25, 2006 1:12 pm) Fin, I guess no-one is interested in the 430 anymore, now that the 460 is here, even with the higher price tag. My local dealer has an 2006 430 DEMO on the lot with the (OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT PKG PT MODERN LUX PKG 4-SPK WD/LTH-TRIM STR WHL HTD RR STS INTUITIVE PARK-ASSIST MARK LEVINSON AUD SYS NAV SYST W/RR CAMERA/BLUETOOTH 2006 LS430 DEMO) And that is straight off the largest auction website in the world, use area code 30152 and 25 miles radius. It's double listed and being "offered" at approx $2400 above INVOICE (still too much).   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!   Replies to this message: fin (Nov 13, 2006 5:22 pm)

Replying to: tjohn (Nov 13, 2006 6:51 am) If I could find the car that you describe as a demo, at 49k I would take it. As long as it drove OK, had a clean history... done. Found a basic model for that price (49k), 6k miles, beautiful, but no NAV. Not interested.   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.

#496 of 537 What should you pay for a 2006 430? by tjohn Nov 15, 2006 (6:55 am)
fin, your absolutely right - there seems to be little interest in the 430 given the superior pkg the 460 offers, given you could pay invoice for a 430. Go to ?Bay Motors and search on Item number: 290047423391, this car has NAV and RR Cam, something I really want. I've walked around the car on my lunch break and it's amazingly clean for a "new" car with 6k miles on it. Like you, I believe invoice is still too much on a 430 (and Dealers should not expect to get that), even if it has 0 miles on it, let alone a Demo like this one. I'm starting to think $45k is more reasonable. One thing to consider is that L Dealers are now loosing money every month on any 430 sitting on their lot, so I think there is far more incentive than the average buyer knows about to get it off the lot, other L incentives that we don't know about. I think $12k below MSRP for an 06 430 is too much (no offense, marv), $15k to $18k below MSRP is the target, IMHO.
