After several months of researching and passive searching, I got serious on finding an LC. Had a few promising leads and nearly bought one before discovering some electrical issues. Glad I waited, because I found this gem in Indiana. 2000 LC, solely dealer maintained, 124k miles, $9.5k. It lived its life so far as a plush kid carrier, and their mom hated driving on the snow, so rust is at a minimum (a little surface on the hitch welds and rear sway bar).
Flew across the country and had a pleasant (uneventful) drive the 1,100 miles to home. She's a beauty. Just like @JonD - I'm naming it after the woman who cared for her. Meet Wendy. The last thing she said to me before hitting the road was "don't take it in the dirt!" Didn't take long to find something along the highway.
No big plans yet, except for changing to chrome emblems, adding all weather mats, and replacing the antenna that got eaten up at a carwash. I'll have to wait for the kiddos to get bigger before removing the running boards. It'll be my DD in the city, alternative kid carrier, and weekend camp gear hauler.
This place is an amazing resource, thanks everyone for openly sharing so much knowledge. Glad to finally go from longtime lurker to part of the club.
