Wow. If anyone else has seen this one and is curious. It's bad. Cosmetic issues everywhere. I offered him $3k, and he said he couldn't go below $4k. I walked. The bad: No spare tire, moonroof was glued shut, driver door and front fender were replaced POORLY when it was wrecked, peeling paint on the front bumper, AHC no workie. The good: You could wheel the piss out of it and not care! HTH...contact me via pm for more info...

Selling Advice on 100 Series
I'm going to be putting my 100 series on the market in a few weeks and was wondering what value I should add for the aftermarket goodies. What's a normal range? It's a 2006 with 126k miles and well over 15k in goodies. Any opinions appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Probably $9 or $10k is all it's worth. Since I have pitty I'll give you $11 sight unseen.
There was a guy here (and now on OT) with a similar 06 but IIRC fewer miles and it's around $35. IMO that's pricy even with 'goodies'. At that price point it's hard to find a guy with 35 large who wants a PNP rig.

"goodies" are highly subjective and personal. W/o said goodies $15K with maybe $20K. Better off parting said goodies.
I plan on driving my 2005 to 180-190k with the upgrades and selling it to a mud member for $12-14k mine will be a rust free Nevada 100 so that help out plus at $12-14k it's a easy cash price..
Without goodies it's closer to $27k, unless you're in the rust belt. Late 100s still go for a decent amount. It's hard to find an 03 with 125k on the clock for much under $18k.
Hello
Looking at a 99 LX470, 120k miles. Lots of issues to consider such as serpentine belt cracked, no timing belt sticker, loose ball joints and some weeping from cv boots. A few electrical flameouts too including rear wiper, sunroof and horn. Will probably need brakes all around too. We are at $8500 which seems reasonable if base lining it means spending 3kish to make it happy. Then again diff and other drive train problems may arise. Anyway would really be interested in your thoughts on price and some of the issues I mention. Thanks!

You will spend less and have more faith in your truck in the long run if you wait for one that has been better maintained. The electrical problems are what would concern me the most, but the other fixes will be expensive too.
Wait for one that was owned by a dentist and maintained at the dealer and kept in the garage- if you can wait and afford to pay a small premium for a well maintained 100 series you will not regret it.

Different resale value out east, 100s just don't bring as much. In 2007 I paid $12K for a '99 with 125K miles on it with all records. (and it was not the cheapest option I had to choose from) A buddy just paid $11K for a '04 with 170K on it.
Unfortunately street/market value is significantly less than worth in the US. In Central America their hold their value better than any other truck.
I think the key.is your "out east" statement. It's all about the rust!! These vehicles are built for 25 year service life in a third world country. The salt on steroids that they use in the areas of this country where it snows will eat any vehicle. A used 100 series that lived its life in the SW where it does not snow will be worth thousands of dollars more. Very high demand for these vehicles and that demand will only get higher as they become harder to find.
Thanks. Hadn't really thought that hard about the electrical side of things but agree on reflection that it is probably the more challenging fix.
If I could find something along the lines you describe I would jump on it. I am patient though - especially when it comes to parting with my money!

Perhaps. Maybe just in the off road niche. Not trying be argumentative, but I'm only seeing 10% difference in resale by owner values of UZJ100s between Boston and LA. 2006 are selling between 20K and 15K bux, pending condition, both coasts. Maybe there are just more of'm used out here: upscale soccer-mom wagons.
Don't get me wrong, I know the platform very well and think "the street" completely under values its reliability and capability, but they just do not bring a lot on resale. In Central America they are highly valued, 2X the US street price
Ultimately value is a perception by the buyer. Otherwise there is no reason why anyone would buy a Defender 110 for $50K, NAS or ROW (imported dubiously.....)
I paid $3.75 for a slice of pepperoni last night, did I over pay? Its all relative.

15-20k for an '06??? No way! There are 10 06-07s on Autotrader right now within 500miles of Harrisburg PA priced $24-34k. A few with 60k miles, most right around 100k. There is one outlier priced at $15k but has 287k miles.
From my resent searching up and down the east coast, it looks like 03-05s are in the 15-20k range and 06-07 in the mid 20s.

Asking price is not sold price, check Kelly's Blue Book for market rates. Low milage vehicles will bring more but over 100K and price starts to really drop.

I've been passively looking for quite a while now, it's rare to see a nice 2003 listed for less than $15k. Almost all 06 have been 20k plus, and usually low to mid 20s.
I'm in PA, but have been looking across the east coast on Autotrader and craigslist for a good deal. I'm actually going tomorrow to look at a low price 99 with a few issues but if I can get a good deal might be worth it.
If there was any chance of getting an 06 with ~150k miles for mid teens I'd be all over it.
Post-em. I'm currently on the hunt for a LX for the Mrs. and can't find any descent 03+ with +/- 100k on it for $20k let alone an 06 for $15k. I have RSS feeds from CL and AT for the western third of the US. There's a big difference between rust-belt and non... and for a reason.

As noted above, check Blue Book and Edmonds for resale data. I'm not pulling these number out of my butt. Nor are the price guides. I think a big factor is that SUVs are out, and Hybrid are in....
Your talkin the BS the dealer would use on you if you were sellin. Oregon is talkin real world experience of a buyer. Big diff.
REDrum
What Would Steve Zissou Do?
Dude, the numbers I posted came from data guides under private sales, not trade in value. If you have differing hard data post it or link it. But please don't call my data BS, its not opinion. If you want a real shocker go look-up in the guides what trade in pricing is on these trucks.
