i love that arizona cars don't require a front plate = no plate holes! you have a nice car here. good luck with the sale of it!

AZGirl

Thanks, Timmy. You can see why my inclination to keep it is strong, but it really isn't practical.

unless you really need the money, I would keep it

AZGirl

It's really tempting but there is the additional insurance cost and I have nowhere to store it. My husband has it parked on my back patio and that is just not working!

Hi AZgirl, that's a very nice example of a 99. Worth WAY more than what you were offered.

I paid $8000 plus on roads ($400 odd) for a car with identical paint and trim, (but no tint) for a 6/99 a month ago.
The aussie dollar has taken a bit of a dive recently.

Well kept, hardly a mark on the interior and almost chip-free paint.
The car has the radio and aircon controls in the rear centre console but without heated front seats or reclining rear seats.
Also has a moonroof and wooden steering wheel, which according to the original owner's manual, were an option.
It'd be nice if you could keep that car, I agree that these cars will be classics someday.

Thanks to all for the nice comments and feedback. If we can't find a buyer in a better price range we will keep it. I refuse to sell it for $3500. I appreciate your help!

To bad you are not closer. I am in the market for a 98-00.

Very nice car, its worth more than $5000 sure.

Its worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Easy for all of us to say its worth X dollars but you still need to find that buyer with cash. LOL. Yours does look like its a very clean LS... Listen to Cowboy and price it like he stated. Good luck if you decide to sell it. Has all the timing belt, etc been done recently?

I would never sell it to a dealer! you should rather give an individual the steal, if you did decided to sell as low as $3500.
Dealers will be certain to to get a nice portion of $$$ for stocking any car. IMO that's only a good idea if you need cash immediately. And Carmax will do the same.
I second the idea of keeping it til it's a "classic". Or just wait until you get a solid offer- the LS is a great car and is still in demand by many people

I just sold my 99 for 2k with193k miles for 2k. I needed a lot of stuff like new tires, New timing belt, shift solenoids and a few other thing. But the interior was really clean and the outside was probably a 6/10. You could probably get 6000+ for yours.

I paid $6500 for my white '98 with 123,000 miles. It is super nice with pages of dealer service records.
But i had to do some normal maintenance and buy tires right away. A clean series IV in white is difficult to come accross I think.

Its worth 6000$ I'm sure, just remember it usually takes 2 or 3 months to sell a car for reasonable money.
Advertise it all over the place and you'll get a hit, its almost a specialty car really.
