purchased from the original owner for my mother.....but she just got a company car and doesnt need it so im begrudgingly contemplated selling it.

i took it to Lexus dealership and he ran me an 8page service history since mile O......every single oil change and service done at Lexus!!!! ( the owners son told me his 83 year old dad lived 2 blocks from Lexus dealership and only took it there its whole 81k mile life.

Am i crazy to sell this????

Yes. Seems like a very low mileage and well maintained car. If you like this model year, you may not be able to find one like this

im betting the engine has never been over 2200rpms........

I would keep it...especially if it's a pearl white one with leather interior... wait... I mean sell that color to me and keep the other colors.

you are not crazy if someone offers you a great price for it. definitely sounds like a gem you have but it all depends on your need for the car, garage space, time to maintain it, etc. the timing belt is due at 90k which will set you back around ~$1k at the dealership (or you can do it yourself with the help from info here and save).

the car will outlast many cars half its age. just keep driving it and you will fall in love.

Definitely sell it!! To me I am in California if you are serious about selling it...

If you have to sell it, I would offer it here first since then you have a better chance of it going to a home that will take care of it.

timing belt/ water pump was just done....

what kind of ballpark price would you guys think this would fetch?

tomgadgets

Here in Norcal KBB shows $3600, you can probably fetch $2K on top of this at your condition, for a total of around $5600? Autotrader is listing a 97' LS400 with only 68K miles for $8500!

For guys in the know... like us.. many of us prefer the 98-2000 model as it has the latest and greatest upgrades and features and are a little more bullet proof. I'd say a pristine one with low miles might fetch between $5k and $6k, but that is on the upper end and may take some time to sell it. I am currently looking for the latest model LS400 and don't want to pay much over $5k with about 100k miles on it.

$5k at most in its condition to a guy who knows what the car is worth. selling it to anyone else, they will want to pay less for sure as they will not understand and will only see it as a 20 year old car.

Pics would be nice... That car, with proper maintenance, will probably outlive some of us. It's like having a '65 Caddy in 1985. Garage that car and take care of it. 20 years from now collectors will want these. I can feel it in my heart!!!
