Test drove one today at dealership in Alexandria, VA. They had only one vehicle in stock (lots of accessories) plus one demo, all other reportedly sold! Dealer would not budge from 72k which is 17%+ mark up. Walked away because the value is not quite there.

I have encountered dealers like you describe. I made sure that I never went back and purchased anything from them, not even the oil and air filters for my vehicle.
Their loss and your gain.
Good luck to all and happy and peaceful holidays to all.

I presume you were going for a cash deal and not a trade?

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.
