I'm trying to get rid
of this 93 legend coupe. 170XXX miles. No A/C
& rear brakes need to be replaced.
I need some extra cash to put towards a new IS.
How much you guys think I could sell this baby for

Welcome to Club Lexus. I see you're a brand-new poster.

It's an excellent web-site....I recommend it. Just feed in the data they ask.....year/make/model/type of vehicle, options, mileage, general condition, etc..... and they will give you three figures. Trade-in will be what you could expect from a dealer on a trade-in or if he buys it outright from you; Private-Party (what you are probably interested in)....what you could reasonably ask from a private-individual sale, and Retail (what a dealer would typically charge if he re-conditoned and re-sold it as a used-car on his lot)
While I am not insinuating that you would do otherwise (or are a dishonest individual) I would suggest, if you deal with a dealership or private individual, being completely truthful about the car and any problems/accidents/repairs it has had or currently needs. There's a old saying....what goes around comes around. If the shoe was on the other foot (and you were considering buying an old used car), you would certainly want to know any potential problems you would have to spend money on before signing on the dotted line. Of course, with 170K miles on its clock and its being almost 20 years old, anybody who does look at it can't expect a pristine car.
