10/21 Used Lexus LS 430 year 2002, 74000 miles for $28000. Interior
exterior look nice, seller is a friend. Good/bad deal?
\_ Uh, 74K in 3-4 years?
\_ Check http://www.kbb.com
\_ it's around $27-29k depending on the condition of the car.
\_ Not a great deal, IMO. The miles are too high. Same car with
20K miles would be a decent deal. These cars don't cost more
than $40K new.
\_ This is a $55k new car.
\_ Whoops! I confused the LS and the ES!
\_ For that price, I would not buy a used car.
\_ A new Toyota Avalon seems like a good "poor man's" replacement
for a mid-sized Luxury vehicle in this price range.
\_ Seconded. Why would you get a used Lexus w/ 74K miles
when you could get a NEW Legacy GT for the same price?
\_ Because The Lexus LS is one of the best luxury cars on the
market (Bill Gates drives one) and a Legacy GT is a Legacy
GT.
\_ Sounds like a decent deal, assuming the 74000 miles are mostly
highway miles. Toyotas are very reliable and the Lexus LS series
is one of the most reliable Toyotas. Yes, it costs $55K new but
once you add a few options, taxes, and other stuff the new car
might cost closer to $70K.
might cost closer to $70K. Oh, and it is not very fuel efficient
unless you compare it to an SUV. It's a heavy, tank like car with
a gigantic V8 engine. It also has a serenely quiet drive, the
best sonically insulated car I've ever driven.
\_ 4.3 liters is not "gigantic" for a V8.
\_ Okay, "a gigantic engine (V8)" happy?
\_ Hmm, I think I'd go with big over gigantic either way.
A 2.0L is smallish, 3.0 just is, 4.3 is big, 5.0 is
pretty huge, the 8.0L Dodge Viper V10 is gigantic.
