I think it's too much too. Is this a private sale? Can you negotiate a bit?

Also, I not familiar with the nav system but can the radio be replaced with replacing the whole nav? That could get expensive.

I do see there is a radio problem on the history. (its been replaced 3x)

WHEN IT GETS REALLY HOT OUT 85 DEGREES PLUS THE CDS START COMING OUT OF PLAYER ON THEIR OWN AND GO OVER A BUMP AND RADIO GOES ON IF OFF - HAS
TECHNICIAN VERIFIED CUSTOMER CONCERN AND TRACED TO INTERNAL ELECTRICAL FAULT IN RADIO - NEEDS NEW RADIO.

is this a common issue?
The price is good. Make sure the radio problem has been taken care of.

Was wondering if that is a good deal or not.

Also how does it compare to the Ultra besides the extra moon roof?

I also see a 2010 Luxury package for $15k with 60k miles. I know they did a refresh on this year on exterior and updated the navi to HD

probably worth the extra $2k to get the new model?
Where have I been...have never heard the Pebble Beach term?

I would get the 2010, just my opinion.

Both good prices... paid closer to 20k for my 2010 premium plus but it was lower miles.

that 2010 is no longer available. i guess i just have to be patience and wait for the right one. i do see a 2007 ultra for $11.5k with 75k miles.

how come this form never really have any ES for sale? i mainly see IS & GS only.

So, 18,000+ miles between oil changes - hello sludge and contaminated and corrosive oil - exactly why you should hold out for a documented car when there are 50-70,000 sold a year.
It might be OK, but I would prefer to err on the side of caution with such a big purchase.
By the way, I inspected my sister's 2016 Mazda 3 after it went from 10,000 miles between oil changes (second change, 10,000 to 20,000). The oil was absolutely filthy. :/

they used it for what everest because the dealer was the first owner.
What?

And remember, Unless you plan on bringing a borescope camera, so you can see if there is carbon buildup from Grandma running filthy oil in the car for 20,000 miles, buy a car with verified oil changes and maintenance.

It is very common for a key to be missing when someone sells the car. Either require a new one as condition of sale or get an appropriate discount.

Please select another vehicle or contact your local Lexus dealer.

website is able to view the service history now but without any description of the service. only provide the mileage and date.
