BuyLow Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Want to buy my first LS 430. Choice at the moment is a 2004 Red with 80K, Nav, Performance Suspension for 20,000 or a 2002 black Nav & 78K for $15,500. Both would cost me the same, about $250 a month as i can get a longer loan on the 04. Plan is to keep it 3 years and hopefully get into a LS 460 when the prices come down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 I'd buy the '04 simply because I think the bodystyle changes on the '04 made for a much more attractive car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landar Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Both have a timing belt service due. Or very soon. So factor that into the cost of ownership. I would look closely at the maintenance records, overall condition and go with the one that has been more thoroughly maintained. If equal, I would go with the '02 as it is lower priced and you do not plan to keep it very long. Don't just look at monthly payments.
