hey.. i really need to sell this ls400.. want to get an sc300...i've asked you guys before about this car.. but didnt post any pics..
im selling a 1990 ls400 with a lil over 200k... everything works great mechanically.. a/c is cold... it has 20 inch wheels and nice audio equipment...7 inch in dash monitor... ps2 ... sony cd/mp3 deck with full color tft screen..

Assuming that the front end damage is purely cosmetic and that none of the front end will need frame work, you'll probably be getting offers around $1000-1500.

I think your best selling points is to mention the interior is clean and you have upgrades such as the rims and sound system.

The reason why I would price your car selling lower than KBB is because you see them on craigslist for $2000-2400 stock but they have no body damage. Check on craigstlist around your area, then check your daily paper or Recycler. That should give you a better idea for what your used car market looks like.

In California, the used car market has been stagnant for a LONG TIME...

If you still have the stock parts on hand, I'd put the wheels, bumper lights and air filter housing back on. My guess is about what avalon42 posted.

Well, it seems the damage to the front is not much...I suggest you get a replacement bumper from the junk yard, pop the corner light in and you should be sitting pretty good then...unless the hood is all crooked??

your car is ~17 years old...no one expects a car that old in perfect condition...best thing to do it to take it to a gypsy bodyshop and have them fix it...prolly only gonna cost ~$800 bucks depending on how severe it is...the bumper is easy to fix...take a heat gun and push out that dent...maybe bend a couple tabs to align the corner light and either bend the mounts or enlarge the mounting holes to align the hood...kinda half *** but that's all you need for a car that old...

Congrats! I'm glad to be proven wrong in this point...but I'm not sure what the market is like in Kansas.

Sold as equipped, rims and audio system?
