Hi all,
I started looking for a 200 series a few years back and quickly came to the realization that sellers wanted more than I was willing to give. I gave up on my 200 search and settled with a 2006 100 series and am very happy with that.
Now my wife would like an Land Cruiser and a local dealer just took in a 2008 with 51k miles. I looked at it and would put condition at "good" per KBB standards.
My gut feeling is that I don't want to pay more than ~$44k for it, but KBB puts private party "good" $45.7k and dealer retail "excellent" condition at $51k. This one I don't believe is excellent condition. Edmunds puts the value at $33k in good condition and for some reason Edmunds has always been extremely low on the Land Cruiser values.
So I'm looking to see if I can get a little Mud guidance on what you see? I know the values of the 100 series pretty well but I have a tough time with the 200 series.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. The color is Blue, which is not the most popular color by far here in CO....thanks!
