Default Need help valuing my lower mile 2002 LS430

The time has come for me to sell my LS, as I haven't been driving it at all. Need some help putting a real value on it so I can move it on. I know you guys will help give me a value can post pics if I need to.

2002 Lexus LS430 base package
75k miles
Pearl White
Parchment
Refinished front and rear bumpers
paint is fully paint corrected and ceramic coated with GTechniq CSL
All services up to date, timing belt and water pump, plus plugs and transmission services all done in the last 700 miles or so
I have a myriad of accessories to go along with it:
Custom BC Forged 19" Staggered wheels with Hankook tires
Tein Coilovers with EFDC controller
Figs arms to correct wheel centering
Door lock actuators for driver front and passenger rear
Radio kit for double din
and more...

So help me figure out what to value it all. Thanks.

I'd say $10-$13K if the interior is near perfect, no rust anywhere, and an inspection would show nothing major. You might get more if you are lucky. Local market conditions may affect the price- look around at other listings in your area for anything comparable. Out here in WA state a car similar to what you describe sold for about $12K last fall from a local used car dealer and in the Seattle and Portland area good examples like yours are currently.priced at $ 10-15K, with the 04-06 models commanding the higher end of the spectrum.

honestly the person who would pay top dollar for a low mileage car doesnt want mods/coilovers, etc. They want it stock. So your "mods" are actually devaluing the car. Put it back to stock and put it on cars and bids, it should go for 10-15k depending on the color. I think the tan ./ brown internior takes value down a bit, but probably not too much.

That looks pretty clean. I agree with the 10-15K.

Thanks to all for the input, car is selling today. @erse was the lucky winner of the right number. Guy doesn't want any of the accessories so I am going to list it all for sale soon.
