Default Run the VIN before you buy.
Great price, but the haggler in me says to offer them 10K cash to see if they would budge, if not the 12k asking price is still good. One last note, I would run the vin# just in case. I never trust a dealers car fax, I always do it myself. I use Experian Autocheck. They have a good service similar to CarFax. If all checks out, go for it!

I ran the vin thru Lexus website, Carfax, autocheck and everything shows clear with great service done to it. Thanks!

They could sell that car easy for 15-18k are you sure their dealer processing fee is not $5000? Lol

I think that's a steal... If it's clean of course.

Well they typically say if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is...but in this case as long as you are dotting all your i's and crossing all your t's then hopefully you are the atypical situation in this case.

Good luck! Nice car! Wish I could have picked up mine for a price like that...actually I would have been happy paying 25k lol.

25k for a car with over 100k miles? You're out of your mind lol...I paid around 25k and I have 26k miles

either way OP, you got a great deal! Can't wait to see pics!

Good luck in picking up your new car! Great deal. How did you make sure it wasn't re-painted anywhere?

JUMP ON IT before i do!! You dont need this forum to tell you if its a deal or not... Hell some idiots on here actually think they can sell an 01 IS300 for 20K LMFAO!!!

Dont worry about the milage man mine has 155K on it and counting and i love it, it still looks/drives like new!!! Ive had several Lexus/Toyota vehicles well over 200K miles.

Take the car to a lexus dealer for the inspection and if everything is good go for it!
Im picking up IS350 for 14k with 113k miles. And will have to change brake pads, rear rotors, drive belt and front tires.
So 12k is really a steal.
