So is it worth it?
Been looking for a nice LS400. Found a mint 2000 with 31k original miles but he won't budge from 13k. Seems like alot for such a old car, however these are getting harder to find in this condition. I offered $11,5 but he refused. Now going by KBB, high private party value is 8,100 but I know sometimes you can't go by the book. Thoughts?

Thanks for the reply, kind of the way I was thinking. People think they have a classic and there are no more out there.

I'd say at 31K its a pretty new car. If it was what I was looking for, correct color, and all options except phone, and not a flaw anywhere I'd go for it. Just not the year I want.

I'd say at 31K its a pretty neglected car (15 years old) that needs ALL the fluids changed, plus timing belt and water pump and run hard at about 100mph for a while to settled it down ..... no way it is worth 13$.. let some other sucker go for it (but I will be surprised if it sells at HIS price..)

air filter, cabin filter -original?

To be honest I would not even pay 11.5 I know the LS is practically bullet proof when properly maintained but I would take that money and get something a little newer. Or find one with more miles and service records and has been driven. The price would be cheaper and you would have a couple extra K left over. Just my opinion though. I've been driving an LS for the past 20 years if that matters.
