Hey Ya'll wassup.
I was just curious what the value of my LC was these days. Kelly Bulls**t Book says she's only worth around $5,620 private party on average. I would hope that a "98 with diff locks and only 164K original miles could fetch more than 5 friggin grand. I mean its also white, which is prob the most desired color for this year of a 100 series LC. I think possibly only an LC enthusiast would know the real value these days. I am only the second owner. I have never taken her offroad other than the dirt beach parking lot by my house.
The pics posted of her are from a couple years ago. I had originally planned on doing a lift, bumpers and a slight build-out but just never got around to it. The paint job is original and has its share of parking lot nicks and scratches. The paint also almost has a matte white look to it as it has lost its shine in some areas. I'm not sure if it can be buffed out back to life or not as I have not tried. It also has one small dent right in front of the right rear tire that it came with when I bought it. There are only a few differences now from the time I took the photos. I've put 16" SCS matte black wheels w/Hankook Dynapro's on her. Sold the stock wheels. The new rims have a slight offset so the tires sit more flush to the outside of the wheel wells than stock. The stock running boards have been sold and swapped out with matte black sliders made by Outpost Offroad (OPOR). The rear spoiler wing I also removed (and sold) and put little rubber grommets in the holes. The stock roof rack was removed and sold. Mounting roof rack holes have the orig. bolts back in and are covered with Toyota factory covers. Interior is all stock tan color. Stock stereo. Everything works. Clean condition.
So I was just hoping to get a few estimated value numbers from as many MUD heads that feel like chiming in. I need to get a truck for work, surfing, and just need a bigger vehicle for life in general, these days. I do not want to sell my LC but it may not be an option to keep her unfortunately. I would think that it would be worth around $9-12K in really good condition. But I just wanted to see what IH8MUD thinks....I can post some current pics if it matters or helps....LMK.
