Default Thinking about selling my LS

I know I know.... lol. I just think I am ready for something else. Something more sporty and fun to drive. I figured I would mention it in here first incase any of you guys are interested. 2004 UL with 135K.

Zero mechanical problems and every option works.

Comes with a ton of extra's and extensive service history.

You all know how **** I am about maintenance and upkeep on my vehicle. If I do sell it I would include a full set of very nice backup air-shocks and also the 16" rims with snow tires as well as the Grom audio adapter kit. PM me.

Of course I would like to get close to KBB private party. I don't know if it is realistic in this market though.

KBB private party is $14,2. With all the extra's I do think it is worth that. Car has a lot of new components not including the backup air-suspension.

Worth every penny IMHO.

Good luck with the sale. Feels like you haven't had her that long. Super clean car. I remember her when it first went up for sale down south. We got our cars a week or so apart from each other.

Gee Lav, I wish you were offering in late May/early June before I acquired the Black Onyx '06 ML. While I'm very happy with that purchase, I would've bought yours, even with the travel to Atlanta (then). Timing is everything ...

I have a nice set of LS400 16" wheels with snow tires I picked up off eBay with the idea of preparing for the winter. Who knows, I may end up keeping the LS for a while longer and if I do they will come in handy.

not a bad price really, especially if someone is seeking that interior, which of course is extremely rare and desirable.

didn't you put on a sport sway bar...didn't that give you a better feel? btw, am starting to think that no matter what you do with the suspension on this car, a fundamentally unsporty thing about it is the tranny...that thing just will not shift snappily.

Really ? I say you change your mind and keep it.

I also want to change my car now that I've has it 5 years, problem is I have not seen a car under $ 50,000 I'd rather drive. What cars are you considering to replace your LS with ?????
