NEW PRICE: $18,500
I also now have an iOS shared album with dozens of pictures, including every major scratch and scuff.
Carfax Stats: No accidents, Owner 1 drove it 43k miles in Virginia, Owner 2 drove it until 121k miles in North Carolina. I'm owner 3 and it now has 181k miles (had it since December of 2015).
Body - very good. Plenty of surface scratches/scuffs but not a dent on it. There is slight fade on the door molding but not on the body itself. I think most would say "it's in great shape for its age." Color is Galactic Gray Mica.
Interior - average. The rear carpet has some stains from prior owner (maybe melted crayon?) under the passenger seat.There are also some brand new "dark water" stains from when my daughter spilled water in the back seat and brown water leaked out of the seat frame when I raised it up to clean it. I don't think you're getting the crayon out (red stains) but I'm pretty sure I can get the dark stains out. (just got an interior detail done and the brown stains are completely gone). No issues in the front seat.
Features/Options - has AHC, Mark Levinson, trailer hitch, roof rails. I've installed one of the LED interior light kits offered by someone on this forum, and I've added a bluetooth module (seamlessly behind dash) that works very well.
Maintenance history before I bought it was good and I have maintained it well. My mechanic supposedly records it all in Carfax but I haven't pulled it yet. I certainly have all the records on paper. Since I've had it I've had to overhaul the emission system (about $1,700) and just had to replace the cat ($900 for aftermarket). I've done the routine stuff (replaced heater T's last year) but it's ready for another timing belt (original was done on time). It will also need new tires. Door lock motors work intermittently in hot weather, fine in cold weather. TPMS seems to be going out. Steering wheel squeaks/groans in cold weather. Gas gauge works intermittently as well (seems to work once it warms up but works intermittently until then). From an engine perspective I'd take it anywhere (and do) but as you can see the electrical stuff seems to be reaching end of life in some cases.
With all of the maintenance items mentioned, I'd rather sell it to someone knowledgeable about these cars. With the steering wheel squeaking only when it's really cold and the locks only messing up when it's hot, and the gas gauge working once it's warmed up, I could hide a lot of this stuff and sell it privately to someone who wouldn't know the difference, but that wouldn't be right.
Not many observations around here to work from. Autotrader has 4 of these cars within 500 miles of me and they're all over $20k. I know used car prices are up but that's far higher than I expected, but then again the "What has everyone been paying for 100 series lately?" thread on this forum kind of confirms this. Land Cruisers seem to go for more like $16k (asking price), but tend to be closer to 250k miles.With that, I'll set my asking price at $20,000, but I'm open to input on that.
