2025 LC Premium Package One-Owner, offered at $62,000 with remaining mfg warranty - how overpriced is this and would you buy it?

I want an LC LC with premium package so badly and just drove one that doesn’t have the noticeable and annoying steering vibration while accelerating that I have noticed in other, lower mileage ones I’ve tried that came with certified gold warranty. Those had 20-inch wheels and I don’t know if that caused the steering wheel vibration, but it was enough for me question whether I even wanted a LC. I was told by the dealers that the steering wheel felt normal to them. I even drove another hybrid (it was a TRD something) and felt the same steering wheel vibration while accelerating (especially at lower speeds) but it annoyed me. I am coming from driving a 20 year old Trailblazer that has a very quiet steering wheel. I’m also one of those sensitive types that feels everything. This LC LC I am considering has 47,000 miles, 18-inch wheels, all maintenance done on time, remaining mfg warranty (not much left), all systems working and is a joy to drive.

1) Would you even buy a higher mileage LC LC Premium package and some other add ons with no warranty left on bumper to bumper and only 13,000 miles left on powertrain? I drive about 8,000 miles per year, so I’d have about 1.5 years warranty left on powertrain.
2) This price seems high. What should it be? Original MSRP was $70,000.

Am I being a fool even considering this? Apart from the brand new off the boat 2027s I drove with 18-inch wheels, this is the first used one i drove that felt like a dream. Help! I need your wisdom. THANK YOU!
I bought a 2027 Meteor Shower grey 1958 for $58,180.00 in July. Tsrp was $60,560.00. The 2027 LC Premium , same color with mahogany leather was a Tsrp of over $75,000.00.

With 2500 miles on it now, I find it a joy to ride with no wabbles or creeks on the factory 18” wheels.

I’m very pleased with it, but, I have been offered Tsrp for it recently. If that price were a bit higher, I may let it go.

I wouldn’t buy it for that price. If they come down $10K maybe. If new is not possible, wait for one with lower mileage at least.
 
I wouldn't even consider it my self. 47k miles is a lot of miles to put in a short period of time and the price of the LC is only a few thousand off from new. For normal driving (1k miles a month), that's like 3/4 years worth of trouble free miles right there. Thats not even accounting for the fact this guy probably did 10k mile oil changes instead of the 3-5k most of everyone seems to be doing. Pretty large consensus between Toyota mechanics that this is a bad idea. Plus I have my doubts that he did his 30k mile differential fluid checks/changes. I wouldn't even take this vehicle at 50k, but at that price its certainly more appealing.
 
Simple due diligence-
Put the vehicle your’re interested in into Carvana or Carmax for selling it to them as-is, & see what they’d buy it for. Is it close? That’s the today market value.

Thank you. So helpful. I don’t know why I didn’t think to do this!

Ahhhh, but this is the exact situation where a 10K oil change is not so bad.....Lots of highway miles.......make an offer and part of the deal is to fully service it meaning all fluids that are due.....everything has a price..........

It seams to me that whatever they offer to pay for your ‘imaginary’ LC would better be considered closer to a wholesale value.

But I might be wrong, just ask my X…
 
I plugged in the details of your post into Chat GTP: Interesting responses and if you do it yourself it will show the others it finds. You can also narrow it down to 1 and ask for advice on negotiating, out the door price in your area etc. I have never really used this before and it suddenly seems like it could be a great car buying tool. It’s responses are given my location. I asked it “Value this 2025 LC LC I am considering has 47,000 miles, 18-inch wheels, all maintenance done on time, remaining mfg warranty (not much left), all systems working and is a joy to drive.”

Answer:
Based on the current Phoenix/AZ market, I’d value this one lower than a typical low-mileage 2025, but the excellent maintenance history and condition help.
Current AZ listings show, for example, a 2025 Land Cruiser with 36,969 miles at about $54,549, while a regular Land Cruiser with 27,826 miles is about $63,382. Edmunds’ current valuation for the regular Land Cruiser puts a clean example around $60,791 trade-in / $62,932 private-party, but that assumes only about 12,000 miles/year, so 47,000 miles warrants a significant mileage adjustment.


My valuation at 47,000 miles
Value typeMy estimate
Dealer’s likely trade-in$48,000–$51,000
Fair private-party value$51,000–$54,000
Dealer retail asking price$54,000–$58,000
Excellent purchase price$50,000–$52,000
I d hesitate above$55,000

The 18-inch wheels are actually a plus for me on this particular vehicle. I wouldn’t assign much monetary value to aftermarket wheels unless they’re desirable OEM/Toyota equipment, but they shouldn’t hurt the value if the tires are good and the original wheels are included.
The big issue: 47,000 miles
That’s very high mileage for a 2025. You’re essentially buying a vehicle that’s accumulated roughly two to three years’ worth of normal driving in a much shorter period.
The fact that it’s been maintained on schedule is important, but I would want to know why it accumulated 47K so quickly.
I’d particularly want to verify:


  • Accident/paint history
  • Number of previous owners
  • Rental/fleet/commercial use
  • Complete Toyota service history
  • Hybrid-system service/diagnostic history
  • Tire condition and remaining tread
  • Brake condition
  • Alignment/suspension condition
  • Whether the 18” wheels are factory/OEM
  • Whether the original wheels are included
  • Exact warranty expiration based on in-service date and mileage

If you’re considering buying it
I’d target $51,000–$52,000 before tax/title/license.
At $53K, I’d still consider it if it’s exceptionally clean with perfect records and good tires.
At $55K+, I would probably walk because there are currently Arizona 2025 Land Cruisers with substantially fewer miles available in the mid-$50Ks. For example, there’s currently a 27,385-mile 1958 at $53,562 and a 36,969-mile 1958 around $54,549.
 
Good timing the post being resurrected! OP’s example is a straight steal compared to the one that keeps popping up on my marketplace feed. I don’t usually price bash individuals, but this is delusional. I blurred your name if you’re in this forum… but really, you’re living out in right field.
