someone needs to grab this. clean carfax at a Lexus dealer. custom luxury too. doesn't get much better. I'd trade mine in for this if I didn't just put brand new tires, brakes and order suspension for it.

Ohhh man this is a hell of a find... really hope this lands in good hands. If I were looking to buy I wouldn't think twice about paying to have it ship across the country.

I really like the seats....do you guys find the mileage high at all, for the price? This is a dealer, however, so there shouldn't be any issues getting them to do the timing belt/water pump. I wonder if a good negotiator can get the LCA and motor mounts too? (maybe not if dealers only do the entire arms)

I ran the service history on lexus owners site. Timing belt has not been done and very few service records since last recorded at 45k. Gorgeous car though. I love it but wouldn't feel right about trading my car in for one with higher miles and having to come out of pocket more money.

Drivers seat looks rough. I want one of these bad, but I think I will end up looking for any white CL with low miles(being the most important thing for me) and swapping my interior into it. It would be easier than finding a low mileage white/saddle.

bmore430

Yes if this car had low miles aka 50-60k I'd be all over it. Drivers seat does look rough. Rest of the seats look near new. if I didn't have a 05 already in the driveway I'd definitely look into this and offer 12k or pay the asking price and ask for timing belt and few other items to be replaced.

This has no free carfax....the million dollar question...is it worth $5k, to take 48k off the odometer....I say no.....the age/time factor is still there....but there was something like this at our local dealer that had 64k and it ended up being hundreds more

It seems high priced to me. Who ever owned it was no doubt a plus-size person. That driver's seat has held a lot of Bacon over the years. Overall it's a good looking car, but I think it should be more along the lines of $11-12K

I've actually been collecting what I can to make this happen. Got a couple saddle items secured but still got awhile to go.

MERKEDLS

I hope you are not doing all brand new pieces. My drivers seat upper seat cover has the piping coming apart near the waistline, and my price (I work at Lexus) is $1k. It would be a fortune to do it all new. My interior was in fairly good shape, if I have my way I will get a white/tan CL, swap interiors on both cars, and then sell my black/what would now be tan. This is the best way to get a white/saddle without waiting 10 years for the perfect one or spending 25k to build one.

It's worth about $12,500.

Naw I wouldn't do any swap with all new pieces. Much more effective looking for the parts used and reconditioning them if needed. This is why it's gonna take me awhile but when I'm done it'll be worth the wait for me.

Nice to know about what mine is worth. I paid quite a bit more for mine in 2014 but with quite a few less miles.

Johnhav430

Here's a nice one, originally sold by the dealer who sold mine. High price, low miles, but no NAV....wth is that thing in the trunk, to the right of the tool kit? I don't have that....
