When I was looking for a Land Cruiser I left a note under the wiper of a really nice looking 2006 LX that was parked in front of a house close to where I live. After that I found my 1998 LX with 134,000 miles and bought it for a great price. Very happy with it BUT....
Now the owner of the 2006 LX has called me and she is planning on selling her truck. I did a quick walk around the day I left my note. Very good condition. No body damage, Michelin tires about 1/2 worn, grey on grey, completely stock, windshield OK, no surface rust.
The lady said she is the original owner and the reason for selling is she is moving. Wants to line up the buyer now and keep using the truck until the day she moves and then do the sale. Not a problem for me.
She has not even decided on an asking price yet.
I am going to meet her tomorrow to do a test drive and have a closer look. When I find out the maintenance status, under carriage rust, AHC, etc, I will make another posting. But let's assume all maintenance is up to date and everything is in working condition with typical dealer maintenance and minimal/no rust.
Assuming this is the case what is a fair price for a private sale?
