91ls400 Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 The guy down the street from me is thinking of getting rid of his 96 LS, Its gold with the gold pkg and tinted windows. The guy took great care of the car. It looks great! Rumor has it that he is thinking of trading it in for a new car. Obviously I'm pretty interested in the car! According to the book (kbb.com) the trade in on it is about 5,500, assuming its got 150k miles. What do you think he will actually get on it if he traded it in? The dealers always screw you on the trade-ins, so I'm clueless as to what to offer for the car. I'm hoping that he is willing to cut me a break!

I would have bought it if I lived near you. I want to get my white one painted gold but it would probably be really, really expensive. Talk to him. Ask him if you can counter an offer that the dealer gives him. You might want him to get the offer in writing from the dealer.
91ls400 Posted March 10, 2005 Author Posted March 10, 2005 Do the dealers usually give around the kbb trade in values? If they do, I would be more than glad to give him an offer a bit over the book value! I don't know about elsewhere, but in Ohio the oldest Lexus you can find on the Lexus dealers lots is about a 99. What do they do with the older models!?
95 ls400 Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 I paid $14,500 for my '95 a couple of months ago, but it only had 31k miles on it and it is a mint southern California car. I'd think you could pick up a good one with average miles for around $10-12.
