Default Advice on 2011 ES 350

I'm thinking about purchasing a 2011 ES 350 with 92,000 miles, 3 previous owners and no reported accident history on Autocheck (was a fleet vehicle, though). I'm taking a look at the vehicle tomorrow. Are there any common issues in that MY that I should be looking out for? According to the current owner, the exterior has a few scratches on the bumper and the interior is in good condition without damage. He says the car has no mechanical issues. I'll need to verify that. What do you think would be a reasonable price? Also, what would be a good upgrade to the native navigation system? Thanks!

Join the Lexus Drivers site and enter the vehicle VIN and then you can look at the dealer service history which is more detailed than CarFAX etc. https://support.lexus.com/s/article/...ew-my-ser-8226

Pricing varies and you need to cross check with similar cars on cars.com and autotrader and KBB etc. It varies a lot in different areas of the country. Mechanical condition and maintenance history are the most important parts of a used vehicle.
Take note of how the transmission shifts, if there are any oil leaks, that all the hvac and radio work. You should always get an independent used vehicle inspection by an independent car repair shop. Most of them will do it for $100 or so. Then you can use the faults they find to help negotiate a better price if you decide to go for it, or determine it is not worth getting.
