Advice on selling a low mileage GX470

[bigbank]

He everyone. I have a launch year GX470 (2003). Total mileage is 98,000. I am second owner (purchased the vehicle with 35K) and have owned the car for ~18 years. Love the vehicle, but it is time to move on. Truck has a small amount of cosmetic body damage (Left rear bumper and tail gate have some damage from a parking garage). Vehicle runs great, have literally have no major service in total time of ownership.

Getting ready to purchase a new vehicle...trying to decide whether to accept a s***ty offer from car dealer or sell myself. What is a low mileage 2003 GX470 (blue) with harmon kardon/nav and some body damage worth. Everything stock...still have the airshocks, dash replaced (under recall), seat leather okay.

Do not sell to a car dealer, especially for a low-ball offer. You'll get much more $$ selling private party and there are too many people who are looking for a vehicle just like that.

One question I have is has the timing belt / water pump service been performed? That's going to be a huge sticking point with selling private party--especially if you're on the original factory belt. Even with low mileage rubber and plastic still age and become brittle over time. I'd recommend having that service performed or prepare to have the asking price lowered accordingly.

Thanks for responses to date, have posted photos below, just to highlight the damage. Rear bumper cover damage on drivers side (right at the corner), and a small amount of damage on swing gate. With regards to timing belt question/water pump question. I changed both at 40K when the car was 10 years old, so belt has ~60K on it, and is 11 years old. Agree that work needs to be done.

With regards to my question, really just looking for folks thoughts on the current pricing levels of non-modified/stock 'vintage' gx470 with exceptionally low miles. when I troll the various sites there seems to be a wide range of pricing levels.

Good luck! Love the color ok those. I have one with 90k miles, I'd absolutely sell it outright myself. Especially with that damage. Just make sure you document your maintenance well and take care of any big ticket issues. You'll get more for it if you do the timing belt/water pump up front IMHO.

I sold an 04 with 84k for $24,000. It was very clean, 100% stock with dealer records, no damage and a more desirable color (Ash Blue Mica). That was in December 2021, prices have dropped since then. With that damage you might get $15k in todays market. I can't imagine a dealer offering even half that.
