DougM77 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 I got this from Edmunds.com: Trade-In Private Party Dealer Retail Total $14,311 $16,664 $19,347 This forum and a clublexus forum is the only place i've advertised this until this morning. Since this morning, I currently have 3 people interested at $14,500...so interest seems to be there. I understand $19k is not realistic...same with $16k (thanks to this forum)...for $10k I would definitely just keep the car I guess I have faith that people will notice that this car is above average in condition when compared to most 01's, therefore it shouldnt be lumped in with a "another ls430 for sale". I've seen a LOT of ragged out 430's... As for the wheels, they look so much like the stock wheels available on the ls430 with the "sport wheels"...no one thinks they are aftermarket (yes, us car people can tell what is stock and what isnt). Plus, the stock wheels come with it. Also, you show me ANYONE who would rather have the old orange tail lights over the LED tail lights!!! I understand people do not want a heavily modified car, but no one would turn down the tail lights. This is not a collector car so I wouldnt expect authenticity to be that much of an issue. As I type this, I just got another email from someone interested in the car and I've already shown it to 1 person who cant believe this car is a 2001. Thanks for your input guys, but I'll keep it here for now and "see what I get for it"...MAYBE lower it a little if price becomes an issue...maybe just keep it...or give it to my mother so she can trade it towards a Genesis 4.6...that's the beauty of my situation...i dont HAVE to sell it at all :) danxp, sounds like a nice lexus at a good price..especially still under warranty...some people dont have an extra $7k for an 05...better car of course, but thats half again what i'm asking for my 01...its all in what you are in the market for...btw we have a 05 ls430 and a ls460...i like the seat cooling option, rear sun shade, parking sensors, and backup camera not found on my 2001 :P great car!
