Default Is 10k for a 93 LS400 w/ 95k miles Reasonable?

Here are the specs:

Well-maintained, Automatic, 93K Freeway Miles, AC, V8 4.0L, 250HP
Jade Black Exterior, Black Leather Interior with Wood Trim
Nakamichi Sound w/ 6-CD Changer
Powered Moonroof, windows, doors, locks,
Heated Seats, Cruise Control, Tilt, Traction Control
AM/FM/Cassette, Air Suspension.
New Timing-belt, brakes, Tires & all Shocks

$10,000 asking (from a Private Party I assume)

Is this reasonable?

Thanks.

I think it is--mine has 164,000 and I wouldn't sell it for that--couldn't find any better for that.--but you need to go to KBB[kelly blue book] and show the print out and see if you can lower---maybe you can---but this is an AWESOME car!!!!! the blue book will show less.
offer them less!! and see what---drive it and drive it.

Check whether it is serviced at 90K miles because Lexus service charges over $1500 for 90K miles service (this includes timing belt and water pump).

Found out that it DID have the 90k service at 88k so that's cool.

But, it DOES have air suspension.

Although, I had almost the same exact suspension system on my lincoln and was able to repair that myself (without a garage!)

So, they don't scare me that much. Should they?

Bought my 94 LS 400 for 6995 with 133,000 miles on it. The retail was like 12k.
Needed new struts but it runs like a charm. Had all the services done to it.
I would say that is a pretty good buy but you can get it lower so negotiate a little.

Did it need new air struts?

Damn, these Lexus ones look expensive. I think I bought BOTH of my lincoln ones brand new for $350 each

Nope. OEM struts but it is is only going to be 180.00 for parts and 180.oo for labor.
Pretty good compared to some other cars I have had.

I had a towncar and navigator before this and I am looking forward to my lexus riding like my Nav.
It is a little bumpy right now.
