I am selling my cherished 2006 GS430, was hoping to see it go to a LOC member since I have enjoyed the company of all.. New addition to family coming and along with the Dog its time for an SUV. The Car..Matador on Black, Navi, Mark Lev, Cooled Seats, Parking Sensors, most all of avail. options except adaptive cruise. ALL SERVICE DONE at TAMPA BAY LEXUS dealer since birth..If its been done, its in the computer at any Lexus dealer. I also have the Lexus Platinum Warr.(most comprehensive one) which is a 0$ deduct. Never used thus far. The warranty runs through November 2011. 70,900k Miles. I drive about 65 miles a day for work 80% on the hwy. Looking for 23k Never in any accident of any kind..Extremely well maintained. Please feel free to ask questions and look for pictures later or email me if your serious. I do have a timeline on it before I have to go the online listing route..But if you want-bring a fair offer. I will not be providing any sort of shipping I am NOT a dealer of any kind so please understand I cant do any exotic payment options or delivery options. I am in Tampa Bay FL. Thanks for reading. GS

Johnny , if your still looking let me know if you have any interest in my 06 430 , she's loaded ML,NAV, etc..All service records from Tampa bay Lexus since day one and I have the platnium Lexus ext. Warranty that's transferrable as well. Send me a PM or your email. I'd rather see someone on the LOC get my baby.

i too looked for about a month or two..The ones I wanted to try were out of stock or out of my price range for me last month..I stumbled on set of Dunlop SP 01's used (80%) tread for nearly nothing (150$) So took a shot at em..they are run Flats..and rough in ride for my taste but I was willing to give them a shot for a spring and summer..I will use em thru the rain season here in FL and replace in the winter with non run flats for sure. I was looking at the Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 that tested well in Car and Driver's last tire test or the Potenza RE760 Sport is probably what i will try next winter. Good luck..let me know what you decide!

Nick, Last week my sunroof started to act up. I have the same exact problem..62k miles..going to take to dealer this week and make use of my plat. warranty..other than this and some rattles the car has no issues.

I owned a 35 before my GS430..the infinity is VERY thirsty. Heck my 430 does a bit better. For measure I avg. 22mpg with 60-40 city/hwy at best right now with a heavy foot.. Ive gotten 29 hwy going 75 on road trips..the trade off in mpg is well worth it for Lexus imo. I owned an 2006 35 and got 17 on a GOOD week in the car with a 60-40 mix. I did better in my vette.. BOL hunting. Update- New commute for me now..Im at about 80-20 City now..Im getting 21 on avg this month..I must say the commute is mostly me going about 50mph in the city and not a ton of lights at night..

esowers- My pleasure..Everyone here at the LOC was good to me in my seach. im just trying to pay it forward. There are a lot of deals on ebay lately that Ive noticed. Not so much auto trader..You are probably looking for an AWD in CHI? There are a few AWD's that are pretty slow to move here in FL..Most of them being 06 300's..The local dealer here in the bay area and sarasota both end up selling most of theirs on ebay to northerns online when they cant move them here. I was scared to purchase a car on ebay sight unseen but the best thing is to find a car within 200 miles of you listed as an "ebay classified" NOT an auctual ebay "auction". Hoof it out and go see it and make them an offer if you like it! You dont have to transact on ebay. I got lucky finding someone who lived 12 miles from me the day after he listed it-I drove it and bought it the next day. He had it listed for 2 days..An ebay private pty classified deal takes some anxiety out of the transaction..You pretty much have to go 2 to 3 years old to get a real decent depreciation discount on the GS's.. one year old GS's certified are not going to be discounted enough to make sense over a brand new one..At least not here in FL..Good luck and Happy hunting!

Thanks ron! I may be getting a new project SC toy!!

Ron, If you still have the service may I ask you to check a vin for me please? Thank you for your help! VIN= JT8UZ30CXP0034801

I went through the same ordeal for over 5 months..SO I feel your pain. I knew what i wanted but just simply could not afford to pay what they were asking for a CPO. I scoured ebay and autotrader and even craigslist 3 times a day. my suggestion still is with some luck and patients, hold out for a private party car and the heck with the salesman at the dealer. In this economy ppl dont NEED luxury cars.. the dealers were still acting like it was 2006 When I was in there 6 months ago...I tried everything and they acted as if they were selling me a hybrid and doing me a favor by taking 1k off their asking price. Just buy the warr from lexus directly. Its not the same exact as a cpo but the Platnium is indeed a lexus warranty with VERY few exclusions. It covers the mark lev, navi, back up camera etc..Thats expensive stuff if they break. and all cars break sometimes, even our beloved Lex's. The drivetrain in these cars are very good though. SO I "settled" for a 06 over..with more miles than I wanted but with the waranty I have piece of mind like a cpo. Find one with less than 50k on the clock and your golden. Also its hard to find the exact color and options we always want so if your flexible on that there are some on ebay 06's if your ok with the 430. The 430's are rolling out of warr now so they are dropping in price the last quarter ive noticed.. Find a 430 with a in service date thats 3 months away from being out.. one that has ANY factory left even if its a month- or a few 1000 miles and lock it up. ITs better than paying 37k for an 07. Thats just my 2cents!

Lookin at sc400-93-94's or 1998-99 400/300.. Any major things I should look for in terms or reliability differences or maintance? Also any real ideas how long the 93 may go if clean.. Saw one with 130 K. On the clock that looked clean, but I've never bought a car with over 65 on the clock! Any advise is appreciated from the LOC!

Good deal IMO..I paid 27k for mine 7 mo's ago with 12k more miles!
