Do what Tmf2004 said, but it looks pretty good! Miles arent to bad and nav, i paid about 1.5k more for mine with more miles. But if red/tan is your color that looks like a good deal.

thats the thing, i like the red, and tan, but i was really looking for white or black with perferably black interior, but not a big deal. I have seen it in person and it is clean inside and out. havent drove it yet. The only thing I noticed is that it has the gold pakage and the gold has faded some. I would really rather take the gold pin stripe off and have silver badges. so that is not that big of a deal. just worried on a red car taking pin stripe off maybe faded.

yea i want to see service records as well. I have drove 2 gs4's already one that was 98 with 172,000 miles that drove like it had 20000 on it and one that had 72000 that drove like the one with 172000 miles. what needs to be done at 90000 miles. as for the color I like it, dont see many of the around here. just most of them i was looking at were white or black or green. Dont really care what color as long as it runs and looks good.

Carfax the living daylights out of it!! It sounds a little too good to be true to me. Also look up the reputation on the web by running a Google search on them.

If I could've gotten myself my GS at that price I would've got the Extended Warrantee right along with it, just to cover the potential expenses.

i know the place. it is 9miles from my house. my buddy just bought a 2004 cadillac srx from them. They have been great. He got an extended waranty and they are owned by subaru in town and have done all his service for free on caddy. Nothing but good things to say about them from him. I will have a carfax done.

Running a carfax is not a bad idea but far from accurate. A good inspection will tell you more and is always a better way to find potential problems that are otherwise hidden or unknown. Getting the service history from the dealer is a good idea as well. You should be able to get a print out from a local lexus dealer. Its a good way to find out if the car had any major mechanical problems. Not likely but you at least know if common things were taken care of. Otherwise seems like a great deal with that little milage.
