It's got the exec package, but has been hanging around this Kelly dealer for over a year. Lowest price '12 with this miles I could see. Seems fishy? Or just too green for most people?

Probably the color and it's encroaching on the 13+ in terms of price. I thought they got rid of the self parking feature before 2012.

They'll let it go for $25K I bet to get it off the lot. I still wouldn't buy it for that price.

All I can see is that the interior does look pretty rough/dirty. Might just need a good professional interior cleaning and some dying of some of the leather. I have the same Peridot Mica color in my LS600hL, and I've gotten lots of great comments on the color - I really like how unique it is and how the green really sparkles when the sun hits it.

I wouldn't rule this one out for the right price.

Too much money. For 30k I want a 2013, I don't care how low the miles are on that 12. I'd rather a 13 with 75k for that price. A 2007 or 08 for a song with under 100k is the greatest deal in my opinion. I paid 20k 2 years ago for mine and was happy. Now they are in the low teens.

Agreed. I think it's sitting because of price point for a 2012, no matter what the features or mileage. I just got a 2013 with the UL pkg, 87k miles for around that price (under $32k). Granted not an L, (mine is a SWB AWD) and higher miles but in very good condition. You can get an L-cert 2012 for less money.

It is priced way too high mainly, it is at a KIA dealership, green is not going to be a very desired color, interior is dirty, bunch of swirl marks and scratches even on the wood trim, seller is not offering a free carfax so there may be issues there, it likely has a air suspension issue so the seller is not letting potential buyers take it to get inspected, could have other suspension issues and when you drive it, it makes a bunch of creaking and crunching noises. Sometimes the sellers are just really bad, I have had experiences where some just don't want to answer questions or have a attitude like they don't really want your business or to sell the car.

If you are interested I would ask for a Carfax and check out the service history but I would avoid it unless the you can get the seller to sell it for 25K out the door and let you get it inspected and really focus on the air suspension/control arms and if it has been in a flood, if they balk at the offer I would just say it has been sitting on your lot for over a year losing value every day, it is not going to sell at that price or anywhere near it.

JMO color and price have a lot to do with it. I would not drive a green car if my life depended on it. Well maybe if my life depended on it.

Color choice is clearly a subjective area, but I truly love the Peridot Mica color on my 2010 LS600hL! It is very unique (don't see this color much on the road). It looks almost black in some light, but when the sun hits it, it really turns green with color sparkles. To each his/her own!

Hi RiknChar, I agree the Peridot Mica is a beautiful color and very unique. It speaks to the unstated elegance and majesty of the 4LS, especially the LWB cars. So, what is Peridot??

So, have you picked your vanity plate phrase?

riknchar

Thanks AC! The "green-car-haters" were coming out in force in this thread!

Here's the definition of Peridot:

noun: peridot; plural noun: peridots
a green semi-precious mineral, a variety of olivine.




Haven't gotten around to ordering a vanity plate yet. Just received the title paperwork for my new car yesterday, so heading to the DMV to get the process started today. Kind of like "Lextasy" (although when I checked online I got a message saying it was an "inappropriate plate" due, I think, to the drug ecstasy similarity). Still mulling...
