Default Used Lexus is350 buying help

Hey guys im looking to buy my first lexus and its going to be a used one and im buying it from a dealership. I ran the history check on lexus.com and i would like some imput on the condition of the car. Dealer is asking 12,000 & the car is a 2006 but its fully loaded with nav, ml package and the tuned suspension along with the paddle shifters. Its black on black. It does have a 120,000 but what i heard is that these cars require minimal maintenance if maintained properly. I appreciate all the help i can get. Thank you guys.

previous owner loved using those brakes lol. seems like a reasonable buy for the price. i'd inspect the rotors just cause it seems like they rode the brakes as far as they could a couple times. make sure the r/f tire was replaced with the slit in it that they found when the owner had a diff tire blowout. prob will need a battery soon since it was 2011 and I stopped reading after that.

little things here and there to look into but overall I think that is a nice price for what it is. I'd find out when they received the vehicle on their lot with the 6 month gap in info but still not a red flag to me. 2010 almost went a year and half without info but that doesn't mean the work wasn't done just maybe not at Lexus.

i'd go for it if there haven't been any accidents.

Looks good and with 120K and going there are no issues listed for the alternator or any transmission issues. No other engine items, so if the mileage is not an issue for you (yes it really doesn't have that big of an impact on the vehicles output) and the exterior is well maintained, there's no reason not to pull the trigger.

Looks routine to me. Decent price too for the pkgs mentioned. So have you test driven it yet? Once you have you'll buy it on the spot!

High brake use probably suggests lots of street miles.

I am surprised at how much these car have depreciated; my 2002 S2000 is worth thousands more than a IS350 with the same miles.
