Hey listen MallCrawler2006, LX470's and LC's are becoming harder and harder to find and buy, at least well maintained ones, especailly in OEM condition with consistent, documented care. I have an '06 with around 140k. It's silver, w gray interior. EVERYTHING works perfectly. It has a few little nicks/dings, and some lines in the leather. It's been sitting for the last 23 months (garaged w climate control) not being used, except that It gets started and run about 5-10 miles once a month. I've been back and forth overseas and haven't used it as I have a couple of other cars I use when I'm home. I've had numerous offers to buy it, even one at $25k cash back almost two years ago when I first put in up; I turned it down. Every time I'm home for a few weeks, someone asks if I want to sell it. The owner of a local restaurant constantly offers me $20k cash every time I go there to eat, and of course there's no way in hell I'd sell it for that.
Don't be so quick to sell. Yes, absolutley there are several units across the US priced around $15-21K range, a couple around $25, 26 K, even $30k, and some may be okay deals. But, most need so many things done once you get it just to get it back into good shape, and they have lots of miles, most over 200k, 250k, and up. Have you called a dealer to see what the 100k service costs? That's money! The pricing is scattered all over. Check eBay, CL, Auto Trader, Edmunds, CarFax, and all the auto sales sites, before you settle on a price. You know what it's worth and what you want. Don't rush it, because once it's gone, it's gone!
I'm interested in buying a 2016 plus year model next. Also looking for a 1990 FJ62 (maybe an 89), to replace my '88, which I wish I'd never let go (sold it for $15k). Regreats. I let my '83 FJ40 go back about 15 years ago, sold it for $18,000.00 hard cash. I thought I was doing good, then the market went bizzerck! Granted my 40 wasn't restored, just stock and needed a few things, but look at the market now! And, with Toyota not making them any more, or at least not sending them to the US starting around 2021/22, well the demand will only increase. LX/LC enthusiests aren't going to just quit chasing after them just because they're no longer available, hell no. Again, be patient, take your time. Research the market. Maybe you'd be better off just keeping it
