Hi everyone - I'm considering selling a LC I inherited from my Mom a couple of years ago. I'm not sure how to value it and would appreciate any feedback. It has 120,000 miles and was purchased 6 months old in 1999 from a family friend. It sat in a covered driveway for about 6 years at my Mom's house. I have driven it irregularly, but used it as a daily driver for about 6 months. The tires have low miles and the timing chain was replaced 3 years ago. I put an Ironman front replacement bumper on. It runs well and also needs some love.
There are a handful of things that would affect the value: there is a large area of chipped paint on the passenger door, there is a dent which I think could be popped out on the rear passenger panel, the sunroof wasn't working when I got it so I had it sealed (it does not leak), there is an engine light on which I had a mechanic look it; he said it was a loose wire deep in the engine that requires me to turn the key a couple of times to get it started about half the time; he said he could fix it by dropping the engine or I could turn the key an extra time which is what I elected to do, some of the decals need to be replaced, there are small tears along the edges of the drivers side chair so I covered them, the windows roll up slowly, the locking system can't lock/unlock 5 times in a row which is important because you need to be able to do that in order to program new keys to the remote lock; it seems reasonably easy to replace those but I never got around to it.
I'm 90% ready to sell because it isn't getting driven and taking up space in the driveway, but it is tough to value. If you're interested in purchasing or could help with a value, please let me know!
