I'm a car dealer in Louisiana and purchased my first Land Cruiser about 5 months ago, It's a 2000 with 145K miles. I love this vehicle and hope to ad some upgrades soon. I was previewing inventory up for auction at the CarMax in Baton Rouge and saw a 2000 LX470 with 101,500 miles in a light gold/sand exterior and the light tan interior. Overall in good to very good condition for the age of the vehicle.
This LX470 should sell at auction for between $9,000 and $10,000 I paid $8200 for mine at a different auction but it has some cosmetic issues. Carmax does an inspection when the vehicle is traded in and all conditions are announced so this vehicle passed inspection without any problems.
I love the CarMax auction because they don't charge a high fee to buy the cars and most important they don't have a reserve price, whatever the bid is they will sell the vehicle to the high bidder. So I may get lucky and pick this thing up for $7 or $8 thousand. But most of the time the average wholesale price is what the vehicles brings, in this case $9500 is most likely.
So here is the deal, If I buy this LX470, I will offer it to any member of the enthusiast community for $1000 over my cost. The buyer can inspect the vehicle, have a mechanic inspect it, or do whatever is needed to feel confident about the purchase. I can offer financing, and we work with low credit scores all the time. Down payments range from $2,000 to $4,000 depending on the strength of the borrower. I can sell a warranty for $300 that covers drivetrain for 3 months or 3,000 miles. More expensive and comprehensive coverage is available but the cost goes up fast. I'm not asking for any kind of commitment to buy the vehicle, just offering the opportunity to anyone who is interested.
I'm going to post some pictures here, hopefully in a few hours. If interested please send roy@drive22.comor post your contact information and if I am able to buy the LX470 on Monday, I will disclose the price and give the first responders the opportunity to buy the vehicle. I will post extensive pictures when we get the LX470 back to the lot. To complete the sale my preference is to meet face to face and have the buyer test drive the vehicle. I'm a Licensed Used Car Dealer in Louisiana.
