I am going to be selling my car come mid to late February and am just looking to see if there is any interest out there as far as anyone looking for a 91 ls400 with just over 200k. I will be asking $1750 when it comes time sell it. Am I in line with that or should I be looking in a different direction as far as the price goes?

A little bit about the car is I bout it over the summer found it sitting in someones driveway were it hadn't moved in over 2 years, jump started it and drove it home once there I replaced the serp belt tensioner, battery, serp belt, alternator,O2 sensor, radiator, thermostat, and got some used non dry rotten tires as the ones that were on the car were in very bad shape. Since then I haven't put anything else into it except gas and and miles, haven't had a single spec of trouble or protest from her.
At this point the only faults mechanically are it need 4 new tires and the first Y-pipe in the exhaust is completely rotten every time I tried to patch it I would get a new crack next to the patch and I am not able to spend the money to have it replaced the rest of the exhaust looks great all the mufflers have Toyota emblems stamped into them and are solid.
From what I have found there is only one spot that has rust on it on the drivers rear wheel well and the rear under carriage has surface scale but all of it is solid as a rock.
Just for piece of mind I did a tune up in October and noticed a significant decrease in mileage from 500+ per tank to right around 400-450 not sure why new components would do that but the car is a completely new animal as far as the way it builds power so I am guessing that the decrease is do to the engine being stronger either way the engine idles right at 400rpm as soon as it is warm.
About a month ago I slid into a curb in the snow and ruined one of the wheels so the car only has 4 not 5 like they are supposed to.
The interior has 4 faults the bottom of the passenger seat has a rip, the top of the shifter is worn off, the arm rest is worn and the common heater control is blacked out, the drivers seat is in great shape and there are no faults with the leather on the back seat. I have all the original floor mats but they need a cleaning.
The trunk is very clean and dry and still has all the original tool kit, first aid kit and six disc changer ( but the sleeve was not with the car when I bought it ).
This model is equipped with the Nakamichi stereo and unfortunately both the driver side speakers are blown but the drivers tweeter, the sub in the rear deck and the passenger speakers all work and sound great. I also have the original window sticker and this model was 48,101 from the dealer and was purchased at IRA in Danvers Mass. as far as I know I am the 3rd owner and it has only had 1 accident in the front driver corner as I have a receipt for a repair/replacement of a fender.
not sure what else I can say about this car other than it is absolutely awesome and I hate to have to get rid of it but my wife says it needs to go.

Nothing about the car per se, but you need to adjust the white balance on your camera

its pretty rough but it depends on the market where you live ... , when was the timing belt last changed? if it has no mechanical problems no leaks etc. and no suspension problems id say its fair

I'd say it's a 1000 to 1200 car. Although it may run decent, it's in rough shape. Ya got that rust which is just gonna spread. If there's one spot, there's more especially with 20 years of New England winters. The interior is 90% shot. Everything you mentioned wrong plus maybe a timing belt job, ya might get a grand, sorry. But hey, ask the 1750 and see what ya get for offers, ya never know. Or, part it out, I need a Air Flow Meter, $50.

1750 sounds good to me.

Also, just a thought - someone might want to swap their Pioneer stereo with your Nak for some $$$. I understand the Nakamichi's are hard to find and becoming valuable.
