Default Buying a gs3 from dealer other than Lex?

Hey all!

Wanted to know if i were to buy a gs3 from a dealer other than a Lexus dealer, Is there any way to get the dealer service history before i bought it?

If i do buy from another dealer i want to make sure that the car was properly serviced through Lexus prior.

Thanks,

Get the vin number and give it to your lexus dealer and they will give you a service history report. This might cost u a pretty penny though, although I can't say how much.

You may need current owner's permission too. ... Depends upon your local Lexus dealership.

Speaking of this, has anyone here bought their Gs from a dealer other than Lexus? Just wondering how your car is doing now etc, so maybe that will help me in my decision.

If you are talking about used cars, then Lexus dealership or not does not make any difference ... exception would be the CPO. Non CPO from Lexus are usually As Is, while Non Lexus dealers may go as far as 1k gaurantee.
