Default 2004 w/ 80k for 25-29k? Good or Bad?

So I know it's really high mileage for the year. 80k +, but would it be worth it for 25k?

What do you guys think? Check out the link below.

too much for the miles..

that's the kind of mileage id expect on a 400, or an 01 430, it may have been an exec/limo svc car. do you know if it's a UL?

I bought my 04 Modern Luxury with 81k 2 months ago for $27,500. I'd offer them that for this car. At 29,990, you could spent another 2k and get one in the 50,000 mile range. More important than the mileage to me is the service history. Has it been regularly serviced at the Lexus dealer?

Not an UL by the pictures at least. No air ride control in front of the shifter & the listing mentioned nothing of it.

Your not at all concerned about that mileage? I mean, I know the price could be had for better, but even so, is it worth going cheap to with an extra 30k on the car?


Any more thoughts from others out there?
What types of issues have you seen on 100k plus LS's? Oil leak problems, things of this nature happen on these cars?

Default This maybe of interest to you

BigCory, I don't know if you are interested, but I have an '05 LS430 that I am looking to sell. Its black/black has only 7,000 mi on it (barely broken in) and is in triple mint condition. I would like $36,000 for it. The car does not have a warranty on it (hense the reasonable price), but then again neither does the one you are looking at. The car is located in NYC. PM me if you are interested and I will be glad to discuss all the info and send you pics, etc.

Sorry in advance if this was an inappropriate post.

Just curious, why does the car not have a warranty?
