Shoidd' Thmk About Selling It
Once you buy a Lexus LS* it's highly unlikely that you'll
ever want to sell it.
But, as a smart investor, it behooves you to know that
the LS has held on to its value better than cars thaf
cost thousands of dollars more. In fact, it has the highest
retained value in its class.*
Besides that, you'll find over fifty refinements this year
and a price starting at 847, 430. **
All of which means one of the best investments you
can make might be a few minutes of your time to come in
and see your Lexus dealer.

There's always a catch.
Either you can't pull together enough
for a down payment, or your income
is too low to qualify for a mortgage.
Not to worry. If your income is
less than $25,000, you may qualify
for our Home Ownership Program,
which makes you eligible for every
thing from lower interest rates to
95% financing to lower closing costs.
But vou'll never know unless you
apply. Its one small step that could
turn into one giant leap toward
home ownership.
