Default Survivor for sale

Nice looking and well marketed. Too pricey for us though.

not rare, they made a ton (they were selling quite well), and literally 3x going rate. Even with the mileage and condition this isn't worth >$6k, if that.

Show me one without a moonroof, and I'll give you "rare".

It's nice to say I got a low "mileage cream puff" but with the way these cars were built dies it really matter. At that age you still need to do TB for piece of mind and bushings ate still suspect.
I'm saving for and 04 ls430 at that price range.

And it will likely need that ECU fix. For non Lexus nuts outside of the forums that are aware, the owner who walks into the dealer for the ECU is going to get quite a shock. $7K may be acceptable for a nut who wants a low miles sample.

there will be that one person who will buy it for its asking. of course it will be someone less educated on the car's needs and value, someone not from here...yet!

i suppose what makes it rare is the low miles and single owner.

I don't know if that even makes it that "rare" there a 91 up the street from with, original owner and only 80k KM!
Granted when I offered him $4500 for it, he replied with a "I can't even get a nice TV for that these days!" I lol'ed...
