Lexus of Glendale here in Southern California just got in a 1990 LS400 with 3,305 miles. They're asking $40K for the car... A little insane in my opinion. It looks to be in great shape, but not worth the price. I could see someone paying maybe $15-20K for the car. Opinions?

The problem with this car for most people is that as soon as you start driving it the value plummets. Would have to be a collector that buys and never drives to possibly retain the value, and even that's speculation on the buyer's part. I think your $15-20K is the right price, and closer to $15.

That's a neat car, but it's not worth anywhere near that money. Not a collector car, which is what they're trying to get for it.

To be that price it better have this.
All factory original with a max of 20 miles on the odometer
All options
Perfect body and paint, perfect did I say perfect? No scratches dents or touch ups.
Never ever sold to anyone and with the manufactures statement of origin
Window sticker still on the window
New car smell
Under belly perfect nothing screwed up from tying it on a truck, tire straps only!
Interior perfect
Only stored inside.
Then I would consider it.

The question is, Who would even ask for that kind of money on that, regardless of the condition. Yes it is a nice car and is maybe still in great running condition. But if you want to sell the car look at surrounding prices and what people are paying for the vehicles and price accordingly

I recently looked at 2 top dollar early LS400's that car lots have they also have a pretty steep price on them, I was hoping to see some good stuff for the 5k price tag, lowish miles yeah, but rust spots on the roof of one and
a cheapy repaint on the other lots of dirt in the paint and horrible masking job. The cheaper ones I've looked at are usually in better shape than the ones that are way up there in asking price.
