Default 92 with 263000 gone 95 with 78000 well 79000

Smacked my 92, well bumped is more like it. Don't look at the pretty emergency lights of a police car, and then notice traffic is stopped. I only bumped at 8-12 miles into a 94 Plymouth Voyager. LS400 is heavy so I think thats what pushed her into an 05 Kia Sorento. Van $4500 (I felt so bad when it had to be towed away, and they had no one to come and get them. The Oregon State Trooper took them home. The van didn't look bad, it was just leaking anti-freeze) Insurance has already settled $1250 with them.
My cars preliminary came in at $6400. My insurance company says that they are docking me becouse of miles. 148000 is normal for a 92. I paid $9000 in 02 with 147000. All options except for the phone. Air susp. Nakamichi, Heated memery Seats Traction Control. They have offered 4100. Is that fair?
Thank god I had it paid off for 5 min. Ok Oh NO ONE WAS HURT I just relized that I am sounding like a jaded only child.
I found a 95 with 78000 for $11000. Did I get a good deal?
I don't have Nakamichi,heated seats,traction control or air suspension. I miss those things that I had on my 92. But I must say I am enjoying the 2nd gen vs the 1st.
Hopefully it will stop faster! Sorry that I am not a tecky. I have pictures on my phone, but it is beyond me how to blue tooth them into the laptop that is my neighbors.
Luthor 1 was maroon, Luthor 2 is black on black. I am seriously considering ordering a new plate. Just becouse when I took my personalized plate off my 94 intega and put it on my 98 integra gsr things did not turn out well. First it was rearend by a Dodge Dakota and shuved into a motorcycle. Then keyed at a shopping center and finally stolen in 2002. So you may understand the jaded comment. The old plate was Creator Lake, If your a smallville fan it makes cense. I am not that supersticious, but I am starting to get a complex. New plates for the new car will make me more at ease. Just to change what I did before. I had to use a black marker, to reuse my DAY-O plate. So I am not to enthoused about sticking my current plate on my untainted 95.
So what do you think is fair for my 92 with 263000k?

yea, WAY too much, that car was worth maybe 8500 TOPS. the mileage isnt exactly a good thing either, the cars going to need a decent overhaul (tb and waterpump) around 90k.

and the fact that u have basically the base model doesnt help.

Then again, he is not in a saturated used car market like So Cal.

I've been eyeballing this car for a week now...

think of it like this.
you got a full loaded 92 in 02, a 10yrs old car for $9k
THEN
you replace it witha 95 in 07, a 12yrs old car that is not fully loaded for $11k.

OF course you didn't get an excellent deal.
You should have been spending around $9k again for a fully loaded 10yr old car, say a 97. ... and for that extra $2k, you should have got a 98 or a 99.

but am just saying. 95 is cool, when it comes to Lexus cars, I don't care how many miles it has, only how many it has left in it.

Your link was exactly Luthor2. Just minus the California Chrome. You guys are right, but I'm up her in the Northwest. I was only looking 300 miles on autotrader.com. So just imagine LUTHOR on that California car and you have what my new one looks like now.
So you think 4100 for my loaded 92 w/ 236215 is fair?
Insurance said thats there offer. I am not calling him back I have time on my side, and I hold the title.
