Pricing is a crapshoot on these 100's.

Congrat's on finding a nice Hundy.

Soooooo....what's an '05 Hundy with 135K miles going for these day? Since I bought mine ('02) with same miles there have been very few for sale on Craigslist. Just wondering what the going rate these days is.

On the East coast expect to pay $14-16k for a clean pre 06/07 LX with 120-145k miles on it

Yea I was a little sad about that too until I found out that a windshield with night view costs almost double to replace. We are talking $1500. Im Not missing the night view anymore

I paid $15900 for my 2006 with 135k on it from a dealership but without many records. At least had proof of timing belt and stuff done.

Ok so 2 months into my ownership I have done the following:

1. Replaced the Heater T's: This was not as hard as I thought it would be. The key is to turn the hose clamps so that the clips are facing you and then they become very easy to remove

2. Changed the evaporator box seal and stopped the passenger foot well leak after running the AC. Swapped out the Cabin air filters too

3. Changed the AHC fluid. The 3/16 hose would not stay in place on the bleeder valve. Had to use a small clamp. Pineapple juice looking fluid came out. Havent notice a bit of a difference in my ride quality but I am glad I got this done

4. Replaced the antenna mast and got some FM signal back. Had to go into the motor up the passenger tire well. my nylon wire was stuck in a broken cog wheel. Got that squared away

5. Installed Bluetooth

6. Got new tires. I just got the factory spec Michelin Defender LTX 275/60/18....paid $780 for 4 tires installed

7. Headlight bulb went out. The harness connecting to the bulb was fried. Changed bulb and harness and also had to replace the fuse.

8. Scrubbed the leather seats and applied the zaino 10 leather conditioner.

9. New OEM floor mats, speaker grill, scuff plate and OEM wipers. Truck looks BRAND NEW inside and out

Unfortunately the truck sits too high for easy loading unloading of the inlaws and the 2 yr old. Ah well guess its just gonna me MINE

Paid the same for my 2001 LX with 96k miles. Felt fair for a 1 owner, garaged with no NAV and no rear spoiler with grey interior.

I guess you conveniently forgot to explain the AHC "uppy/downy" thing to the wife... Oops!
