Fair Price for my 93k mile Black/Tan 2005 LC?

[boostincoupe]

I picked up a rather clean one-owner 2005 Land Cruiser with 78,000 original miles last summer, and I'm considering selling it next month.



When I say clean, I mean it. It's not 100% perfect (front bumper has some damage in one corner), but overall it runs like new and has had roughly $3,000 of baseline maintenance done to date. California-based its whole life, owned by one family then me. They traded it in to an Infiniti dealership in Oakland last summer, and I found it the day after. By the time I closed the deal, over a dozen offers were made on it.

The following maintenance has been done since I bought it (currently at 93,500 miles):

- New factory-sized tires (78,000 miles)
- New battery (O'Reilly Auto XtremeStart w/ warranty)
- Aisin timing belt, water pump & tensioner (with coolant flush using Toyota Red coolant)
- OEM brake pads & rotors (less than 1,000 miles ago)
- New windshield in June ($718 with new OEM mouldings...ouch)
- Aftermarket hood struts
- Polk 6.5" component front speakers & matching coaxials in the rear
- SL3B bluetooth controller (so you can control your music through the steering wheel)

EVERYTHING works. It gets ~ 16-17 MPG highway, drives straight and just runs perfectly. If I had to nitpick, there are tiny interior rattles here and there, and the seatbelts sometimes are slow to retract (I hear these are common issues). Other than that, it's a flawless truck that I wouldn't hesitate to drive cross-country. I'm getting a full paint correction done tomorrow to remove any swirl marks in the paint ($300 value).

What is the market for these trucks looking like on the West Coast? What I'm seeing on Craigslist in California is low-mid 20's for clean examples with over 125k miles. This has less than 100k, with all baseline maintenance done for the foreseeable future.

Looking forward to feedback before I post it in the FS section.

Nice LC! Here's an '05 LX w/ 93K miles asking $22K and seems to have sold fairly quick:

For Sale: - 2005 LX470 93k - Kansas City

I'd start in the mid to high 20's and see what interest you get.

For reference: I traded my one-owner 92k mile new tires, fresh timing belt, new battery, 2004 LC in March for a nearly new LX570. They gave me $18k for the trade in. Sold it at action to a Land Cruiser specialist in Oklahoma who then priced it at $25,995. It lasted about a month on his lot. (I suspect due to the high price) 05 with that mileage and history should retail for nearly $20k in my opinion. I just gave $17k for a nearly perfect 62k mile 2002. I would think $18 to $21k for your rig if it is indeeds perfect with no rust and new tires. My gosh a new one is $80k now sat invoice!!!!!!

I think you'd sell it pretty quickly at 20 or less. More than that and it may take awhile. Great truck!

Definitely try it around 25k and see the interest level, unless you're in a huge hurry to sell. These cars are hard to find with good mileage, and yours is. Milk that all the way to the bank

I put a Craigslist ad up, to test the waters. I have nothing but time, and frankly would rather that everyone lowballed me into keeping it. But from what I'm seeing in the Classifieds section (such as a 2006 with 75k original miles selling for $31k)...I'll wait.
