Yes, you are correct. I realize that Lexus is a marquee brand however in this very competitive market the competition will catch up and surpass in the sales experience of prospective customers.

I have traded in several LS430s on a newer LS430 and have not got into what the dealer is asking for the car. All I'm concerned about is what's the difference between the trade and the new car. I've been pleased with the trade-in value of the LS430.

I just traded my '06 LS 430 on a '07 LS 460. $4K off list on the new car, $45K trade on my year-old car. The tradein has 16k miles, and cost me $54K new.

I gather that the net capital cost of your 06 LS430 was $5000 for the year which is truly excellent.

Previously, I owned a BMW 7-series (the 12-cylinder variant). Between the huge deprecation factor, and the mind-boggling repair cost (and frequent trips on a flatbed), it was nice to trade a car in, and not suffer a big loss. I have now picked up the car, and the dealer even sweetened the deal a bit. The car now has 1,200 miles. It is the best car I have ever driven, let alone owned. EVERYTHING about this car is top notch. I do not believe it is an exaggeration to say this is the best car ever manufactured.
You could spend a lot more for the exclusivity of a Bentley or Rolls, but I am not sure the car would be any better. That last comment is sure to draw some fire, but the car is that nice.

told me that he still had a "45 car backlog" of orders to fill and that they were "not discounting at all". Not sure how true that is, but those were his words. My guess is that most dealers are still pretty close to MSRP. If someone will sell you one for $1000 under that may be among the better opportunities.

I have a friend who is a Sales Manager at a Lexus dealership. He said they have been selling the cars at MSRP, plus they added required garbage to build another $3000 into the purchase price. He said right now they are selling them at MSRP, but for a preferred customer they would discount $1000, but that's it.
BTW, I drove one today and it is a NICE car!
