Good choice if you want ultimate luxury! Go for it. Are you getting a new or used one?

Buying CPO/Extended Warranty from Lexus by hacsf
Feb 21, 2007 (8:17 am)
Would anyone happen to know if it is possible to buy an extended warranty on a 2004 70,000 mile Lexus LS 430 through Lexus? Any advice would be appreciated. Is it worth asking my local Lexus dealer to CPO the car?
 
Thank you.

Definitely used, looking at 2003 or 2004 with ultra luxury package.

  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.

Prices and ?s to ask when looking at 2002 LS430 by 4xpy4
Mar 07, 2007 (8:10 am)
going to look at LS430s 1st time this week. 2002 looks like right price range for what i want to spend.
 
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.

FYI for those shopping:
 
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)

looking at used02-04 low mile 430's by dandg
Apr 24, 2007 (2:36 pm)
Been getting close to buying a used LS430.I was thinking that after the 460 where in the dealers a while there would be some good deals on the 02-04 LS430's.Was wondering what others have been paying or finding when they get down to offers.
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

ok leaning towards that 04 but the 02 has a second place spot.The 04 guy won't come down much maybe a couple hundred and I would have to fly to get get,drive it back (still cheaper than having it shipped and less worry).Anyone ever gone this route and bought one over the net? How did it work out? Are you all going with local dealers?We did great when we bought or RX out of state and saved thousands over the local dealer price but that new and we drove to pick it up.
Thanks,
