Default Should I buy this ES 330?

Hi Guys,

Sorry to bother you, but I want to buy the following Lexus for my mother and was wondering if there is any reason to shy away from this car for $19.5k with 68.6k miles. Will this be a good car to own for the next five years?

Here are some possible red flags:

- Power-train warranty expires at 70k miles (right?)
- Major expensive scheduled maintenance may be due soon
- Anything else?

I will really appreciate any good advice and I apologize if I've posted to the wrong place. Thanks all. -SfBayBrownBear

Mileage seems high for an '05, but that's just me.

Is it Lexus Certified Pre-Owned through the dealer? If not the dealer may know something negative. I've seen newer models not CPO and, recently, noticed an '00 that was CPO.

Can't make a judgment on the price.
