How fast should I run away from this one? ???
1996 LC80. I have not seen it in person. It has low miles, lockers, "never in an accident", right color, supposedly runs perfect, interior is very nice, everything works, no leaks, etc. Asking $15700 , negotiable (in an area where Cruisers, much less locked ones, are rare) KBB says I should pay $13K in "good condition", $14K in "excellent condition". Sounds like the guy would probably do $14K, just from talking to him on the phone.
Guy selling it (supposedly a private seller) says it is a "two owner". He mentioned that he has a friend with a dealership in Lawrenceburg, KY. I haven't yet asked about why it is listed as "dealer inventory".
What really spooks me is the number of Michigan titles. It isn't clear to me what is going on there in 1998 (note the dates on the different titles are about 20 days apart). I'm guessing car was registered as a demo, then sold as a lease, the lessee moved, then?, then car ended up in KY, then guy asks his bud to consign it on his lot... Just a guess.
The rest of the Carfax looks good. Vehicle is in Lexington, KY. I am wondering if it is worth the effort to blow a Saturday, drive 3.5 hours to see it, and/or get it checked out by a mechanic.
