For Sale Feeler: 2003

putting out a feeler for a buddy.

Clean - 2003 - Gray - 80k miles.

He thinks it's worth $25k. I'm telling him closer to $20k.

What sayeth the MUD?

Condition of interior, paint, undercarriage (rust)? Any damage to exterior? He very well could get $25k with the low miles....

Not exactly clear on all the details yet. This is a buddy who had to fly east to help out an ailing family member. I think the rig is in PA, so I'd want to see photos of the undercarriage myself. ...although, that said, I have no idea if PA salts roads or not.

Received the Carfax this morning.

1 owner is good. Low annual mileage is great! East coast car is not so great. Interested to see inspection photos of undercarriage.

For those that don't already know, the recall is for the side curtain airbags. All 100 series LC's have this recall. I haven't heard of any dealers that have parts in stock yet. I've checked periodically with local Portland dealers to deal with the issue on my personal rig.

For me, mileage does not matter when youre looking at a LC under 200k. I know many other feel the same way, we know how well these are made.

I view 80k in the same light as 180k . It matters what condition the panels, paint and leather are in and the general upkeep and timeliness of services.

That being said he should list it for 23, 24, 25 and he will actually get around 20k when sold.

OK, I need to add a bit of a clarification here. Between my busy day yesterday and my buddy's calls / texts to me, I got a couple of wires crossed. My buddy bought this 03 LC yesterday through a wholesale auction while he was in an airport waiting to fly east to deal with a family crisis. He has a dealer license and is a partner in a small dealership as a side gig to give him access to buying tuner race cars (that's his thing). He's been looking for a new rig for me and found a cherry low milage 100 series and jumped on it. It is in PA now, but lived it's life to date in Virgina. It's going through a detailed inspection now and as long as that passes, it will either be sold this afternoon to an interested E Coast buyer or be shipped to me in Portland, OR to sell. He's convinced he can capture a higher dollar sale in the PNW. If anybody's seriously interested, feel free to DM me and we can talk further over the phone.

passed Post Sale Inspection this morning.

I agree with Warde. Just take a look at how many of these are out there with 300, 400k miles. They are just built so well that its the care they receive that is the most important part. 80k or 180k doesn't mean much when we all know these engines will do over half a million.

Took delivery late yesterday afternoon.

I will get detailed pics of exterior, interior, undercarriage and minor faults in the next couple of days and then create a new classifieds post.
