Don't ever trust a clean vehicle history report. Many accidents dont get reported. My friend works at a dealership and sometimes they fix cars and never report them. Find a good mechanic that can find signs of repairs/repaint. Then decide if you still want it.

I bought my 3GS from a Lexus showroom too, and it had clean history but I saw signs of repainted front bumper, and rear fenders. I bought it anyway cause personally it didnt bother me.

 

my 2014 rx350 has rattles with 36,786 miles on it , my gs none loving it my wifes rx not so much

 

Yep my newly acquired 2011 has a dash rattle, plus it sounds like something goes clunk when I lift off the gas sometimes. Still sussing them out. I'll probably go after them myself unless the dealer feels generous.

 

Thanks TS85. Now I need to find a good mechanic as I am very new to NY NJ area.

Interestingly when I visited the show room yesterday, people were quite pushy to buy cars. This was very different when I went with my aunt about 5 years ago when there was no pressure at all by the salesman.

I also saw a CPO with 59k miles for 24000. Drove really well. Need to make a decision by coming week

 

You can look up recalls by VIN here:

@grayson. No open recalls or service campaigns

 

Yet to find or come across recommendation for a good Lexus mechanic in nj by area. Holding off until then.

I see carfax itself offers inspection but I don't feel comfortable with a mobile mechanic. Seems too white collar

 

if you are clos to connecticut they take super pride in there work, oil change is $59, but it maybe a little far

 

how much $ and where for those headlights and tail lights? They look awesome!

Take a look and see if the factory recall was done on the replacement of the VVT-1 timing gear.

My 2010 GS350 AWD has VERY noisy fuel injectors....or that's what the dealer is telling me which I am having trouble believing. Anyone else seem to have supposedly noisy injectors?

Great car otherwise. I get anywhere from 22-26 mpg on mixed driving. Beautifully comfortable car.
Bought mine in Nov-15' for $16,700 with 100k miles from a dealer (Boise, ID).
