Default Input needed on Is350

In trying to get a general idea if some whom sold or are looking to purchase an is350.

The basic info is as follows:
2006 is350 with 115k has heater and cooled seats with navigation

All records intact and serviced by dealer,one owner car. It has some extras which I'm debating with my self to remove or keep on the car. Info would also be greatly appreciated on this as well. I'm trying to attract buyers but some modifications might not be as appealing to all.

If anyone is looking for megan ez coils with 4k miles please let me know. I will most likely have a part out.

Question is looking all around the country and on verious nada,kbb,Edmonds. Seems like fair market value is somewhere around 13-15? Would this be feasible in my price?

What would you consider high in price with and with out modifications?

I'll do 450 shipped on the coilovers. Actually thinking about asking 400 with 50 bucks to cover shipping? Sounds fair?

Not sure what the car would be worth in US, since I'm from Canada - but I can say for certain that mods hardly ever add to the value of the car. Sometimes (actually often) they do the complete opposite. Part out if you have original parts - but do it right. You'll get the most bang for your buck this way. Also consider used resale value of certain things and their worth being returned to stock.

That's what I'm most likely going to end up doing. I still don't really have a baseline price to work off of. I've found that used lexus bring all types of different amounts in my area.

Hopefully it won't be a hard sale with the mileage.

if you part out your mods and revert the car back to stock, you would probably make out with more money than you get with a modified car. Higher resale vale for a stock car plus sell your parts can easily make you an extra 2grand or move above the book value you are looking at. (all depends on what mods you have done)

When i was selling my old 03 accord, book value was about 5500 but i was getting offers like 4000, or even 3500 because it was modified. I still had all my stock parts in my basement so i sold, wheels coilovers, etc for like 1700 and was able to sell the stock car for 5600. Made out with 1800 more than expected

WHS+1.
The price is highly depending on the area and availabilities of similar cars at the time. For prefference, i paid $15k for one owner, all dealer services of 106k miles, fully loaded including the ML system (the only thing it missing is the rear power sunshade).

^^ I've started the process today of removing the aftermarket parts.

My car also fully dealer serviced, will hopefully bring in around what I paid originally. It might be a little tuff to sell the car being an 06' as most loan companies won't loan on anything over give years old or over 75k miles. On top of that someone looking for an is350 who would have cash will most likely be like me and super OCD. Only issue on my car is the windsheild dry rot. I simply can not justify spending that much money on a "vanity" item.

Thanks for the input. Be on the look out for a part-out soon.

Credit unions will approve auto loans regardless of years and mileage. Newer cars and higher dollar amounts will yield lower APR but still can. Im sure you will find a buyer in no time at all
