2015 Gs 350 with 1500 miles??
Hi Group,
This car is for sale. Yes, dealers say 1500 original miles. I guess, bought, garaged and never driven? whatever the story, is that car still good after sitting like that?

My guess is......grand pa bought the car anf then died. It ahs sat in a garage until grand ma died and the assets liquidated. So may have never seen an oil change. Does that make it an instant deal breaker?

Buy it and change the oil. It's a Toyota so it's probably still good.

If the actual pics are posted, looks mint. Hopefully it's not too good to be true.

That is some heavy stuff. So this isn't a dead man's car then.

Looks like it’s been in the govment hands for five years, probably in an uncovered storage lot so it wouldn’t have had (any) maintenance during that time. Still, depending on price, it could be a bargain. I found my ‘15 a year ago this month with just 42,000 miles on it and it looks like new as well. I found a six year old Ducati on a battery tender inside a dining room of a southern Montana ranch house with just 1,041 miles on it, completely original except for the battery. It had its 600 mile service three years after it was sold. The owner always wanted one but it just didn’t fit him.

Cars with an interesting history are always worth more 
Seriously I'd be concerned about the tires having sat in the same position for 4 years or more. Once it's established the car runs, I'd want to replace the tires at the first opportunity, especially given that the rubber is >7 years old.

Yikes. Are they offering it with a CPO warranty? But I can't see it going for that much even as a CPO. I know the market's different now but I bought my 2015 F Sport with 31K miles and CPO in 2018 for $33K.
