the car looks like it’s in great condition lower miles and a good price but 6 previous owners and most of them were in the last few years I also see a lot of tire change and balancing in the reports and not in typical increments so I’m just a little worried about it

I agree with you, there's a reason the car was resold multiple times with short ownership intervals. I would keep looking.

Doesn’t look like it has a lot of aftermarket suspension components from what I could see. I think it’s about normal to get tires changed every 20,000 miles if your going with good summer tires but that’s because our cars were given a negative camber from the factory and there wasn’t a whole lot to do with regards to adjustability so it would eat through a tire with a 40,000 mile treadlife A lot sooner but it seems like something is off with this car. Maybe a wreck at some point in the past that bent the frame and was never reported. Either way, I’d look elsewhere

Stay away from a car with that many owners. Especially a Lexus. Most Lexus should have 1-2 owners at this age

I checked out the vehicle. Something does not seem right, but I cant put my finger on it. You know that feeling that you will only discover it once you buy it... Like I dont think we wanna find out. Anytime i search for a used lexus, you can feel the confidence. If your not getting that "Feeling" Peace that and bid it fair well.
Like the old saying I was told, " hey... its a lexus" Say less.
