Default Red flag?

Do you gentlemen agree?

I found an '07 Lexus 460l with good miles however the service history leaves something to be desired. Thinking about passing on this one.

BTW... Waiting for the service department to call me back...

Cheers,
James

In my opinion this has been well cared for, all of it's 5k services done and regular details. Doesnt get much better than that, what part of this do you feel is a red flag?

All of the recalls including the valve springs have been done also.

There are some strange things on there like the speedometer, front/rear body, mirror, etc. but at least it looks like the person is very particular and took it in as much as they did. I wonder if all of the descriptions are accurate. I had my wheels fixed on my IS250 under warranty and when looking at my carfax it showed a window issue. Maybe they did something similar.

The "DISTRIBUTOR/HDLIGHT/T. SGNL" may just be bulb replacements.

go to your local lexus dealer and ask them to pull the service history on the car -- the lexus driver's website only gives a one liner about what was done but your service adviser can get more detailed information.

my car just said "15K SERVICE" for one of the items on the lexus site, but it turns out some air suspension stuff was replaced during that service too.

Great points. Glad I asked you guys here on the board. Appreciate the input.

You may be being a bit picky.
The valve spring fix applies to all 2007 LS 460's and many of the other entries deals with normal service of a concerned owner.
