It does depend on your location, but I do agree it is high with the mileage it has.

Seems a little high to me as well with that mileage.

My 2000 Platinum with almost half the mileage books at about $10K. Unless there is something remarkable about its condition and history, I'd have trouble paying more than about $4K or so.

The value does flatten out quite a bit though and it's probably worth $6-$8K in parts...lol

That's way to much for that car. Period. Don't buy it. It sounds like stealer aka dealer pricing. If that's your budget you should check out some lower mileage 2nd gens.

if its been maintained the price is about right, a well maintained '95 with similar milage should go for about $3k so this isnt out of the ballpark.

98-00 will go for considerably more than earlier cars even with mileage.

I gave 6-7k for all 3 99's I bought, last year and they were 150k range, so it sounds good to me if the LS has been cared for

you guys saying no, where you going to beat it??

You guys were talking about this car in 2012, after 6 years it arrived to the garage of my friend in DUBAI UAE. he bought from somebody who is already using it here in UAE. I guess imported from USA few years back. The mileage is not correct as its not possible to have such low mileage also i checked that somebody mentioned mileage in 2012. The last owner in USA is here ??

The mileage could be correct. There are a few of these LS400s that have less than 100k miles. Not a lot, but a few of us are lucky to find them.
