Default 11 SFP for 41k with 17k miles!!!

I have some time to kill at work so I was browsing Autotrader and ran accross this.

It seems to good to be true. I would have picked up this one in a heart beat if the condition is good and for sale a month ago.

If it is clean that is a good deal.

Plugged the VIN into http://owners.lexus.com and saw "Misc body repair" on the service history, and various other suspect things....need to check it out in person. Could be salvage.

when a free carfax is not provided by seller, usually it's not clean.

I ran it myself out of curiosity. There isn't any accident reported, but one of the previous owners must have damaged it somehow it its showing repairs from Lexus.

Seems too cheap - there's likely more to the story here. I recently bought an immaculate, certified 2008 with 16k miles for $44k.

I was hoping my 2011 SFP with 20k miles was worth more than that! Geeze!

Way cheap and maybe too cheap--these are selling for around $52,000-53,000 with 17,000 miles, and $50,000 with 24,000 miles.

Be certain nothing is wrong with the beast.
