2003 Silver with tan heated/cooled seats.
Pacific Northwest
94,000
Complete Lexus service history until 70,000 including timing belt at 68k.
Dirty interior which cleaned up but front seats have some wear. Everyhing else minty.
Body in very good condition with excellent paint.
Aftermarket 17" TSW wheels with quality tires.(wheels not my favorite)
I paid $8,000.

I was in the right place with cash money.
I should say i bought this from an estate with a clean title and no history except carfax which showed very little history so was somewhat of a gamble. It drove perfectly though and I was optimistic about it cleaning up well. Ran the vin on lexus.com to discover the excellent service history on this two owner car.

My last car was a 2004 bmw 745i. Enjoying the piece of mind.

Those are great deals. For the price of a Stripped Focus or Cruze, you can drive a Lexus LS. It's a no- brainer to me.

Lethal.... that is an unbelievable deal!!!! WOW... I thought I did well back in July 2012 for my Black on Black UL w/PCS at $18,500... You stole that car man! But if the Air shocks are leaking then that purchase price just leaped up. I hope it doesn't and you enjoy trouble free ownership we have come to love.
