What's it Worth? (07 Lexus)
 

I'm looking at an 07 Lexus ES 350 with about 98,000 miles and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what it's actually worth in a private party sale. It has nearly all options - as far as I can tell it has everything on the Premium Plus package minus the panoramic roof. The car is in great condition - no wrecks and up to maintenance.

Values are all over the place... most of what I'm coming up with are cars for sale by dealers, without navigation or with a lot less miles. I'm thinking maybe $17K? The car is located near Ft Worth, TX btw. Thanks in advance!

edit: wierd... it took an hour and a half for the thread to show up in the topics list

$17K is about right if it is REALLY CLEAN

Nice ones with 94-99K miles do $15.0-15.5K through auction, where 'normal' ones do $13.5-14.0K

Once you pass 100K, expect to lose a couple grand

A Black one with 98,672 miles went through auction in Dallas 2/15 for $12,900 plus fees, if that helps

Great data points, thanks!

We don't exactly *need* a car, but the wife's Volvo is now 20 and a bit more prone to needing attention. If it goes down again for couple of days while an order to FCP arrives, she doesn't know how to drive a car with a manual transmission and I become her chauffeur. If I can get it at or under book value that'll work for us...
