I found a 2007 with Nav, Blizzard Pearl and tan interior with 75k miles for 23k. According to carfax the tires (michelin) were done 10k miles ago and the pads and rotars were replaced 20k miles ago. There have been two owners with the first showing as a corporate lease. The kicker is it's 900 miles away and I would have to buy it without driving and have it shipped. It's located at a Mercedes dealership. The carfax shows it was listed for sale 10-28-11 so they've had it a while which makes me nervous but could also explain the lower price. Is this deal too good to be true, or too good to pass up?

Maybe someone on this forum, lives close by to this dealer and could do a driveby for you. At least look it over on the outside? Dings and dents don't show up well in pictures on the web.

Good deal, but not overly so - I picked mine up after the lot had it for a few months and got a great deal. It may be that folks looking to buy a Mercedes don't want a used high mileage Lexus.

If it's near Birmingham AL, I'll go look at it for you.

Is there a joke there, Tx?

My bad, i was looking up comparable vehicles and didnt see any for sale, klooks like my results were filtered...

LOL

I guess it was "too good to last". I appreciate all the replies. The vehicle was in Boston. I called the dealer and they said it sold this morning. My search continues. It was a heck of a deal. I'm not suprised it was gone by the time I called.

I know the truck your talking about, I drive by it everyday on my way home. Its in Lynnfield at Flagship Mercedes and as of yesterday it was still there. If the deal falls through and you need me to check it out for you just PM me.

Wally20

Thanks for offering to do that!

I called and the deal wasn't finalized yet. Asked them to let me know if it fell through and never heard back.

I did, however, purchase an 04 yesterday with 58k miles and it is sweeet!

Congrats Wally!! I'm new to GX ownership recently as well but have another Lexus already. I love v8 Lexus's. Would love to see pics and hear more about your new car.

Congradulations! Waiting for pictures. Sounds like the other dealer is blowing smoke up #$%##@. If they really had a buyer, it would have been gone.

Here is a quick pic I snapped today. Hopefully more to come. Snow in the forecast (and in the picture) today so it won't be this clean for long!

Looks absolutely identical to the 07 I just picked up a few days ago. Beautiful rig, congrats bud!

Wally20

Thanks! It has the Ivory interior, navigation/camera, new michelin LTX's, new brakes, battery, radiator. Nothing to do for a while but enjoy it and keep her looking pretty!!

Same color combo as mine, same options as well. You sir have very good taste

I feel like a complete idiot asking this question. I've owned trucks before, but never anything with full time 4wd like this. My question is, there's the 4wd shift **** next to the other one...let's say I get really stuck and need to use that, how do I get it into 4wd or what is that shifter for?
