Hi all,

I am new here and please pardon me if I am breaking any rules by posting here. I really needed advice urgently.

I am about to pull the trigger on the following 2015 GX460. What ya'll pros think about it? Should I go for it?

Thanks for help in advance.

That is the lowest price for a very low mile '15 I've seen, even for a Base model.

then put in the VIN number and hopefully see the service history if it has been serviced at Lexus dealer. It also give you an idea where the car was originally bought from (flood states etc...)

Karachi

Thanks for your input. Driver Select only sells 3 years old, 1 owner and under 30K miles vehicles. Here is the carfax report they have provided. Its a Florida Vehicle.

Thanks so very much. I am so glad I posted to get an advice here. I think I will pass!

GoHuskers

Looks like most of the "Shakings" complaints are due to the aftermarket 20" Rims / tires NOT balanced well. If it drives WELL then I think that is a good buy.

3 months ago my brother bought a base '14 (with navi and premium audio) - same specs as this '15 for $38.9k with 26k miles. It is Lexus Certified, though.

Karachi

Thank you. Just for the heck of it, will go and test drive.

bbqsoup

Maybe ask the dealer to swap out the 20’s with stock 18’s and test

Karachi

Do you think its worth the hassle? Shouldn't I spend a few thousand dollars more and get a car with clean history?

Forgive me for my ignorance, can you please direct me to where I can put the VIN to pull the service history on Lexus Owner's site?

Really appreciate ya'll help.

bbqsoup

You can go to the link I posted and sign up for an account.
Once you got it, log in, then click on the top right Account->Manage Your Lexus Vehicle. Input the VIN of the vehicle you want to check. Then click Manage this Vehicle.
Then on the top, click Resource->Service->Service History.

Karachi

Thanks so very much. You guys are awesome!

tuandino

From the listing, it looks like the car has the stock 18" wheels /tires. Maybe either the dealership or previous owner swapped out the aftermarket 20" wheels / tires before listing it for sale ?!? I would defintely buy this car if i'm in a market for one.

Karachi

Any thing other than the price and mileage that is enticing?
