Good price?

Clean, 2 owner, 2010 LC with 133k mi @ $30k? Looks amazingly clean and well kept.

 

[WillW]

Yes.

Have you pulled the service records from Toyota? Seems like you are in right range.

 

[thammer62]

Entered the VIN in their website. Not sure I've seen the link for service records though. Is that available in that vin enter site as well?

 

[UCrazyKid]

Use the toyota owners website, register and then add the VIN to cars you own, then pull up the service history.

Will do - if it has had the timing belt replaced and all normal updates, how is that price in your opinion?

It doesn't have a timing belt...

 

[thammer62]

I thought the timing belt had to be replaced every 90k miles - am I an idiot... Ha

 

[INTP]

No timing belt, but you should plan on, if it has not already been done, a new radiator, waterpump and starter.

 

[thammer62]

Hmm I received some bad info. Thank you for setting me straight man I really appreciate it. Looking over the service records now -

 

[thammer62]

Still interested in price opinions if anyone has one. Thanks.
FYI coming out of/selling a 2005 4Runner with 175k painless miles but family is growing.

Another option is the 2009 LC with 68k mi for 36900, one owner no accidents. It is across the country and more inconvenient to buy though.

I would go for the 30k one.

 

[thammer62]

On the 2010 - service records show no replacement of radiator, water pump or starter. So that sounds like roughly $600, $700, and $800 respectively give or take? Thanks for the heads up on the common replacements. I read about the starter in another thread.

 

[thammer62]

I would go for the 30k one.

What's your reasoning on this @TonyP ?

LC or LX?

 

[Reckless]

Go for the one with less rust, I bought my 2009 for $31k 2 years ago with 115k miles, I have 180k miles and not had any mechanical failures.

Rust is the only option to pay for IMO not even miles. Not easy to find one in good shape and worth the extra $1-2k in the long run.

 

[Markuson]

To me, it would be worth $7k more to gain 65,000 un-driven miles with the 68k 2009...

LC

Mileage is irrelevant as long as it's been maintained. Unless you can swing a '13. Also, with the '10 you're getting:

"Added a few enhancements for 2010 model year including the addition of privacy glass on the rear hatch and Safety Connect™ telematics system. The audio system added integrated satellite radio with a 90-day trial subscription to XM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth® and an auxiliary audio jack/USB port. New options included rain-sensing windshield wipers added to the Upgrade Package and a navigation system with XM NavTraffic."
