dzehner2 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Hi all, I'm absolutely in love with my 05 LGT sedan, and my wife is looking to replace her old Toyota Sienna. We've found a White '05 LGT for $17,000 with around 70,000 miles on it. Is this too much to pay? I was under the impression they weren't worth quite that much... I guess since white is a little more rare of a color, but I don't think it's worth an extra $3,000... However, it would be nice to have 2 Legacy's in the family. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzehner2 Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 Forgot to mention, the car in question is a wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeblow Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Most 05s are going in the $10-13k range depending on mileage, so $17k is ridiculous, wagon or not. Especially if its an auto. Auto wagons aren't as rare because they produced them for 3 years, manuals only came in 05. Check the boards here, there have been a few wagons come around in the car classifieds. It's cool; I'm with the band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
system60 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 If it's auto w/ those miles no, even stick with those miles is quite high. May 09 I picked up my 05 5spd wagon w/ 30k mi for less than that in MA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I'd say it's a bit much. I just bought my 06 Sedan GT Limited with 39k miles for 17k.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Way high. $12-$14k is appropriate. Wholesale is probably right around $10k. My '05 LGT My '07 Supercharged Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I paid $16,500 a year ago for my '05 wagon 5 spd. with 54k miles and that included $1200 to buy out my lease on my wifes POS Equinox. $17k is too high especially for an auto. Talk them down a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustincredible Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Waaay too much for an 05 with that amount of mileage. KBB.com suggests $15,915 from a dealer in excellent condition or $13,515 from a private party in excellent condition.

FLlegacy Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 try nadaguide.com it gives more realistic values Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ur a bus Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 KBB values are regional. My California zipcode comes up with $19,235 for dealer retail and $16,685 for private party "excellent". That is ASSuming an automatic Limited model. A 5MT is going to be worth less on KBB, even though they are worth more to most of us. -- Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 try nadaguide.com it gives more realistic values +1. KBB is under heavy dealer/lender control to escalate values for cars to get them sold for more $. It is what I use when I am the seller but when I am the buyer it's nadaguide.com for me.

Kw521 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 /\/\ what he said. I used to do the same thing all the time when I sold a car. But buying one yes I use Nadaguide. They highball the car and ask obo so they can get what they want. If they start at what its worth for real then they will be offered less. Simple sales technique. When they drop the price you thing you are getting a deal even though they are getting what they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisch Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 that seems a bit overpriced, I wouldn't pay more than 15k for that much mileage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dzehner2 Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Anyone know of any cheaper wagons? I'll start a WTB thread if there are a few that turn up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT_Red Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Bought my LGT for $10,500 in rough condition. Still in the process of fixing it up and finishing the 60k service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
