You can't go wrong searching out an LS coming off lease or other low-milage one. We bought a '01 LS, V6 w/ about 29K miles - still under full maintenance warantee. Had a good choice in metro DC area - dealers willing to barter. Also, time of year is significant. Price seems to drop a bit after Thanksgiving. Anyway, it's been a great, trouble-free ride - my wife loves it too. Riders have exclamed!!! so have fun hunting for the one you want.

Gents, Your ideas about buying used - I took to heart. On the large facilites where I work, we have an area set aside in a parking lot where folks can sell there private cars. I hadn't been over there in months, but early last week decided to just take a peek. Well, no LS's were there, but there were two very fine condition older Lexus'(Lexi). I'm not a fan of those per say, but one was an SC300. It had been sitting there for three weeks because the price in the window was a little too high. I called the owner, took it for a test drive, explained that I really was after a 4-door, but that his car was extremely nice - he knew it and kept it that way. After my kids gave me the okay, the seller and I came to a fair deal and the SC300 now sits in my garage.
Yes, I still plan to buy an '05 LS, but maybe in 2009. Just remember, it's partly YOUR fault that I just acquired a fine USED machine. Take care.

I was at a dealer today and was offered 23,990 for a brand new V6 LS (base). Is this a good deal?

SoCal dealers are dumping '04 V8 Sports (>40.5k MSRP) for $9k off list price--this sounds tempting and my wife wants to replace the X-type with an LS.
Is this a good deal?

Just bought a '04 LS Luxury V6 - MSRP of $33,295 less rebate of $5,000, dealer discount of $5,000 and additional rebate of $1,000 because I own / traded in a Buick Park Ave. Net price - $22,295 less trade in value of the Park Ave of $6795 (true amount from Kelly Blue Book trade in value). Net cost was $15,500 difference. The car only has the Ceramic White Metallic paint as an option. Picking up this Saturday. Northeast PA is my location.

......... For what it may be worth ......
Dealers are only paying the $24ish range for loaded-up 04 V8's with "all" the stuff and miles in the 7/9/11k range, most had MSRP's of $45ish .... based on what your saying on your trade, I would think you could trade your vehicle and $20 grand .. the no option V6's are "cooold" and have the resale value of mud down the road .. in the meantime, you would enjoy all of the options and get it back at trade time ....
Terry.

I usually do not buy "unloaded" cars but the cost of this was too good to pass up. I love the car's handling, size while the V6 power may not be the most thrilling, it is a better all around "ride" than the Park Ave (inherited from my father's estate) and our '99 Town Car Touring sedan. The resale value may not be up there but the additional options values when trading in are small too with the exception of the V8.
