I’ve been lurking in the forums for several years now watching and reading and dreaming about a LC. It’s time to take the plunge.
In all fairness, even though I’ve been lurking, I barely understand a fraction of the threads. I am not mechanically inclined by any means. And when I say I’m not mechanically inclined, I mean – I own a Phillips head screw driver, a flat head, a hammer and an adjustable plier thingy… so I’ve got tools – but not really.
What I do know is that LC’s are incredibly reliable, and that’s what I want and need.
I’ve been looking for an LC for the past year within 200 miles of my location here in Southern Oregon. I finally found one and I’m going to pull the trigger tomorrow morning and spend $7,500 on a 1998 LC that’s got 262,000 miles on it. That’s the best price and the newest year that I can find in my price range.
Yeah – I know it’s a lot of miles but from what I can tell – this guy is really into his LC’s. He’s owned several of them in the past and currently owns 3. He's selling this 98 because he's got too many vehicles. He doesn’t go off-road in them, he doesn’t modify them, he just drives them a lot on the highways here in the Northwest.
From the looks of the records, the 98 has been perfectly maintained and I think it's worth the $7,500.00 price tag. It’s had all the tune-ups and required maintenance. I did ask if the timing belt has been changed and it had been - apparently, twice. The interior looks basically unused. There's no rust on the vehicle at all. Compared to other vehicles in this area that are the same price, even if they are newer and have less miles, this seems awesome.
So… I’ve sold myself on the LC – how about you guys? Sold yet? Would you buy it or keep looking?
