I know the market is crazy now, but I think I found an LS400 for sale that takes the cake. Asking price is $35k and the car has 86k miles. Below is the listing description:

"Rare Lexus ls400 was checked out and serviced by top tier shops.99 is best year to purchase.Timing belt done 48k miles,new ikabino breaks and rotors,kyb struts n breaks,optima yellow top battery,nano ceramic formula 1 llumar tint ,window shield and moon roof included,heated seats,light maple wood gear shifter.Touring edition 80k msrp top tier lines also include alpine back up camera,Audison speakers in the cabin bay,pro z edge go pro touchscreen with back camera view installed ,new custom seat expensive covers purchased not installed yet,organic oil detail leather seats,all weather installed mats,jl audio 12’ with jd 2 amps 500 amp,ceramic wrap gold protection in the whole vehicle with paint stage 3 paint correction,restored original rims,pioneer avex touch screen with gps,apple car play and dvd,engine bay clean and maintained,engine is pristine with new spark plugs & radiator flush ,engine filter,cabin air filter recently serviced.Turn key 30k+ invested.It was worth buying this car above kelly for 15,300 cause of the rare color combo and Japan investing 400 million + on a 4.0 29mpg V8 ultra reliable engine.Will not go much lower.The time ,energy,research,days I had to take off to give time to this project was well
Worth it to me.Rare piece of japans finest work was the 98-99 Kaizen quality.Sending spies to Laguna beach California to see what the wealthy was driving.The result was the S class Mercedes-Benz.That’s why it has some body features of the S.Japan invest almost half a billion on the model and engine that they lost money.Which was great to hear for the person to own one.They achieved the best. I know it was worth it to do so.To the immature adults.If you can’t afford it stick to a car that’s fits your budget.No kid comments necessary.For the serious buyers.Call preferred than text before we meet.Cash with be in hand before test driven.No tire kickers.I dislike having to put some guidelines down before but this is necessary for the seller and buyer to find common ground before even messaging and calling me.Thank you."

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the price. It became hysterical laughter once I clicked the link and read the description above. Look, I know we're free to ask whatever we feel something is worth, but this is beyond. Maybe a 5k mile showroom 99 LS400 could fetch $35k on an auction site like BaT, but this ain't that. What would you pay for this?

 

Maybe 8-11k USD? Definitely asking way, way too much.

 

Not $35K that's for sure...

 

10k? Maybe? It's a hard sell since they are getting old enough OE parts are hard to get and it's too high mileage to be a display car.

 

 

Hilarious lol

 

But .... it's rare, it's been serviced by top-tier shops, and it's got a back-up camera installed and all weather mats for Pete's sake! Why would you spend $35K on a much newer LS, when you can have this "rare" vehicle????

 

Priced based on "Greater Fool Theory."

 

"Will not go much lower.The time ,energy,research,days I had to take off to give time to this project was well
Worth it to me."

lol.......maybe the dude really want to keep it but wife demand him to list it for sale

 

For what he's asking, a V12 Rolls from around the same era will get you more attention and serenity than an LS400. And it's a V12, with connections to snooty English royalty to boot. You could even do an Uber or something with it

 

They are worth about $4000 here max. Which is approx $2500 USD.

 

You would get way more than that for a nice 98-00 LS400 with low mileage here. Sure one thats wrung out may only be a few K

 

Here's another one and this is what a Lexus dealer is actually asking. Saw it in on the showroom floor yesterday. KBB doesn't even go back to 1990, a 1992 LS400 with this mileage has a trade-in value of about $2K
$17K 1990 LS 131K Miles

 

Wow....

There was a 98 on BAT that was perfect that sold for over $30k.

 

is it just me? Or does it look like it’s riding higher in the front than rear? I personally like to see cars that were factory perfect and the seller doesn’t list off all the work it needed to be sellable.
Seems like the “rare color combo” moniker is always attached to the least desirable colors when new and usually still not very attractive with age, and i don’t know how any seller can honestly expect a buyer to pay more for less desirable looks. I would think A black on black with “very popular color combo” is probably going to more valuable but i have never seen that phrase in a used car ad. I am surprised he didn’t include some production numbers to prove his point?
