Sedans Lexus LS 460/460L Lexus LS: Buy a 2006 or 2007?

You are in the Lexus LS 460/460L Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
| If you were in the market right now for an LS, would you go with the 06 or wait for the 07? What sort of deals do you think are available for 06s since the 07 is right around the corner? | |
| that's a good question. I LOVE the looks of the 07, but for the first 6 months at least, they'll be so hot, you won't be able to touch one for sticker probably. Likely there'll be add-on stickers as much as $10,000 at first. So, I would probably get the 06, hopefully at a very deep discount now, and wait for the 08 to come out before upgrading. Eliminates first year issue syndrome as well, although with a Toyota, it's not usually a bad experience. | |

Three months ago I bought my wife a brand new Lexus LS430 with the Ultra Package , we have no regrets , also we got a terrific deal over $ 9000.00 OFF MSRP. I agree with nvbanker statement , wait for the 2008 or 2009. Lexus just send us a notice for the initial free 5000 miles check up , this new car came with six miles showing in odometer , at the present she is about 100 miles shy of from breaking the 1000 miles . I only got one regret instead of buying an new 2006 LX470 I should have bought two LS430 , but it would have not been a practical move , need a SUV or a EL Truck. A very sweet car to drive, wonderful seats and a great options . My wife is a very Happy Camper . But for myself , I am back on the HUNT looking for a more versatile vehicle instead of the LX470 . Perhaps the 2007 Tundra Extra Cap

Hi guys , really it has nothing to do with an specific vehicle. The LX 470 is great but not as comfortable as the LS430. The last few months I been withdrawing from certain medication ( Zoloft )sometimes I am angry , sad , also have tremendous mood swing . I suspect that the opinion I express was, at one of my lowest point . The latest MPG is appx. 14 or 15. I went from a 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser to a 2006 Lexus LX470 , the only reason was I got a very good deal. The new bigger BMW X5 , The 2007 Tundra and even 2007 LS460 , might be replacements for the aging LX470 This morning I fill up 24.4 gls. Supreme at $3.09 9/10 at $ 75.64 . I remember filling up my 1955 Dodge (very used) Regular gas at $0.16 per gallons . 1962

| Back to the subject: I have wondered about the choice. I am driving a Camry that wont die, but I would like to finally get an LS. The 2007 is certainly a big step forward in design, but it is a first year car and I have a hunch the visibility is compromised, like many new hot cars. A friend bought a 2005 at the end of its model year and says it is all you can ever ask for. It was reduced about ten grand at the year end. That seems to be happening to the 2006, but no further reduction than that, so it seems to be still appealing to many buyers. Its a tough choice. | |
