Hey everyone,
It's been a while since I have logged in here, but my work/family have kept me busy. In the 11 months since I bought my Lexus, I have had a few changes, including acquiring another car(Toyota Hybrid) that has become my daily driver due to a better mpg.

I posted my Lexus on Autotrader and my local craigslist, but wanted to see what you guys thought was a fair price.

1999 ES300
142,000 miles
2 owner car, clean carfax, all maint records done by local dealer
all major maint done(timing belt etc)
New battery just installed

I found a dealer in NC selling almost identical to the car I own for 2k higher

I personally wouldn't take less than 5k, but it's all about how long you are willing to wait for the right buyer.

Thanks GoodRevs.
I am not in any rush to sell, and have had a few people bite offering lower than what I posted it for(3800-4300).

Part of my incentive to sell is to pay off a small student loan that I have left, and approx 5k will do it. To me, the lexus is worth at least that.

bump - anyone thoughts?

Repost it for higher to get higher offers. As long as similar post are listing for around the same you should do fine.

just to update everyone, it didnt take long at all to sell. I had five people come view the car yesterday , and the 5th made a full price offer and is picking up the car in the morning with cash.

Congrats on the sell for the price you wanted. Curious what kind of toyota hybrid did you get?

Well, I got something in the mail from my dealer saying they would offer me $9000+ for my 2003 Lexus ES 300, and I have approximately the same mileage on it.

The dealers always jack the prices up, but buyers look for the independent people for the good deals. I think the price you had on it was very fair. Its a Lexus after all. Any Lexus under $5000 is a good buy and ride for any buyer, especially a first time car buyer.

thanks geddymd, I thought the same as well and thats why it only took about a week to move it.
