^I agree. I don't know anything about auto check but the dates/mileage on the history reports/carfax make sense.

LEXUS DRIVERS.pdf

-Somehow the first owner went through a set of rear tires in 6000 miles lol
-Differential failed and new one installed at 15k (probably from the burnouts)
-Shifter lock cover missing at 26k (probably towed)
-Water pump replaced at 52k (that's a good thing)
-Nav system replaced 2 years ago at 70k (that's a good thing since the touch feature fails after a while)

JTHBP262X85003350


-82k "less than .5mm almost metal on metal" (lol hopefully the brakes have been replaced since then)
-"aftermarket exhaust causing trouble codes P0607" at 87k (probably not a big deal. Lots of info about that on this forum I'm sure. Who knows what Lexus means by "aftermarket exhaust")
-"driver front tire has small rim leak" at 87k

If the tires have decent tread on them, the brakes are new, and you aren't deterred by it's sketchy past, I'd offer $19,500 and see what happens...But set aside $2000 in case you need to take it to Lexus for something major. Look under the car for rust and get a pre purchase inspection. Good luck.

Finally a post from you that makes sense Kolyan😋😋😋
But I have to agree, no way in hell they could rack up 170k miles in 2 years and have those few lil problems. Those are transfer truck mileage numbers, lol.

Differential failed at 15k miles? That car has lived a hard life. Expect more than average necessary mechanical repairs. Diffs in these cars don't blow up unless they've been severely abused.

OP actually made another thread to post the link. It's really a double post. Yes. Fail.

This car has well more then 89k miles, guarantee. Its very fishy if you compare the Carfax, to the Autocheck, to the Lexus maintenance records.... many different states its been in and serviced in, the mileage the owners put on it is very inconsistent based on the records, 10,000 miles in the 1st couple months or so, 18000 in the first 7 months (not completely out of the ordinary) but then only 600 miles in the next 6 months? Odd. If you analyze the records a bit more you'll see there is def some things that raise a ?

Just the different places its been, dealers its been serviced at, states its lived in, screams odometer roll back or rebuild. Some of these wholesalers/dealers are well aware of loopholes, and ins/outs of different states way of reporting mileage and title work, as well as Car Fax/Autocheck. They're well aware of how to do it, and make sure it lines up properly with records. Crossing state lines for a new title that may be clean, when the state it came from it was salvaged, or one state brands a rebuilt title, while another may not, or call it something else, etc etc... this car screams mileage roll back or rebuild.

I also have visibility of my internal system that its been at Manheim auctions a couple times, sold there to the current dealer, current dealer tried to sell it at auction earlier this month, then some other questionable records, such as color reported a different color, mileage discrepancy.

If they couldn't sell it at auction for what they're wanting to retail it for, something is off, because the price they want is pretty good, actually REALLY good, if it indeed has 89k miles. Dealers know these cars are sought after, 89k miles is a good mileage point for the age. It would have sold.

More bad news. That VIN belongs to a Neiman Marcus edition car. It is missing the wheels and from all appearances, the internal badges unique to the NM cars. This poor beast has been ridden hard and put away wet way too many times. I would pass unless you want a cheapish track car.

I thought that NM cars were all black? Perhaps the VIN is wrong? I find it hard to believe that someone would respray a black car MRM.

Hard to tell, but the upholstery stitching doesn't appear to be white. NM cars had white stitching.

They showed a picture of the VIN. I looked it up on TIS. TIS says it is a Neiman Marcus VIN. So, either TIS is wrong (pretty unlikely), or there are MRM Neiman Marcus cars out there.

Looking further - That ISF is NOT a Neiman Marcus. As well as the stitching, wheels, lack of interior badge, the steering wheel does not have the white bottom.

And they all are Obsidian.

Not so sure about all of them being Obsidian. Here's what's on TIS:
