Too expensive. Search under Houston Craigslist. There is one in Shreveport LA that has been on there for awhile. 22k and it has the rear seat DVD.

If you don't want to travel look at the other 06 LC on AutoTrader that JFR in Littleton has listed. Its 23,500 and it has the overhead DVD option.

Forgot. There is a 2007 LC listed in Dallas Craigslist that is $22,999. It has aftermarket rims that need to be changed but otherwise it looks clean.

Hey Aaron-

How are you getting all of these feeds? I'm looking for well priced 06/07 around Atlanta. I couldn't find the 2007 you listed for DFW at 22,999. Saw an 06 but it had normal wheels.

Lots of searching. I'm in the market and I have a couple of apps that I check daily.

That JFR Littleton LC is $23,800 on CL
Here is the 2007 in Dallas.
Shreveport is still your best bet w/the headrest DVD.
Here is another that came up this morning on Auto. High miles but for $18,999 it ain't bad.

If you don't mind flying and driving (figure ~$500 for the trip) it'll save you $$$ on the overall price.

I'm not sure it's that much overpriced. I just purchased 2006 with 80k all maintenance new tires and all with individual DVD players in headsets for $27,000. Did I get a steal, no but very fair. Someone recently posted that they paid over 30k for one. That is little highly priced.

The fact that the cruiser has had timing belt and all changed is a positive. I wouldn't discount the price right now. It's a starting point.

Download Craigslist pro and you can search entire states at a time.

since you are already in Denver you should jump on the JFR one. looks really nice.

you should be able to negotiate on the first one, it has been sitting there for 6 weeks

Shreveport looks to be the best of the bunch................but unless seller can confirm timing belt service/water pump you can expect close to 2k to get that done unless you can do it yourself. Also the one you started this post with (and several of the others proposed) has the AVS suspension, is this feature something you are wanting or searching for? I owned an LX with AVS and it never caused me significant issues but do your research on it and decide if that "option" is something you truly "want". With it being an 06 it is entering the sweet spot for the AVS system to start causing some issues, as I recall the shocks weren't overly crazy at $380 a corner but the servicing/diagnosing/bleeding aspect of the service all adds up and you can bank on something related to AVS happening soon after your new ownership. Some people love it, others hate it. Personally I would look for a non-AVS hundy, even though the AVS equipped models drive like a dream...........from my perspective avoiding AVS means one less gremlin to chase as the vehicle gets older and if you have plans for any mods, not having AVS would be of some advantage. Good luck with your search. There is a white 2004 locally in Atlanta with 90k with timing belt changed, without AVS, with factory NAV and DVD for 19k and surely would sell for less as it has been on the market for at least 3 months (Car Depot, Kennesaw GA).

also looks like the first one had the timing belt and water pump replaced at 99k

I passed on the one i originally posted. As mentioned by a previous poster, i dont think i want the AVS system. This vehicle would be used as a DD with annual mountain expedition trail use. I would probably end up putting a lift, tires, bumpers, lockers etc.... like i do with every other vehicle i get..Thanks for all of the input, my search continues

Load the Craigslist pro app on iPad and look over all the surrounding states on area craigslist. I use this app frequently and that's how I found my 2006(which doesn't have the avs).

Great tool.

Good luck
