Default Too good to be true?

Finally able to pull the trigger on a 2010 LS460L but this deal I found looks too good. I'm willing to travel out of state but for the price it seems too good and I rather not waste a trip from NY to ATL for a dud. What do you think....?

2010 LS460L

Link works fine......

Maybe it's priced lower b/c it's not a CPO car? They probably bought it for a steal at auction from a lease return. Looks like a nice car, but if I were you I'd arrange for a PPI from a local dealer.

I would definitely do a PPI since there's a Lexus dealer like a mile away...it really seems like a steal. Wish I had a good ole ATL CL member to scope it out for me..

This car is priced about right. Trade in value is around $38k. This dealers moves a lot of cars and prices them attractvely. I live about 3 hours away and have been there but not purchased a car there. They have hundreds of cars in stock - all luxury brands.

Just from the photo's that's a good looking car and seems to be a great deal. I checked nadaguide and the pricing is dead on point the only thing that i see is that you are gonna have to purchase a lexus shift **** but thats a minor issue. I would say before you pull the trigger on the purchase do a Lexus enform vin# check and carfax for the service history just to make sure that there aren't any gaps in service. But with those low miles you can always take it into a Lexus dealership and have them inspect it all under warranty. I say contact the dealer and let them know that you are a serious buyer and make a quick move on this sweet deal before someone else make a move on it. I wish you the best of luck on getting this LS

Make sure this vehicle wasn't damaged by the flooding cased by Hurricane Sandy.
FYI: Before purchasing the vehicle, I recommended thoroughly examined the interior for water damage on the carpeting and electrical wiring harness.

Yea ...water damage from sandy has been in the back of my mind as well. I would suspect that would be something Lexus could pick up from having it inspected under warranty?

I"d have it checked out by Lexus for any issues before purchasing. Small fee compared to getting a Lemon. Other than that, the price looks good to me. Jump on it playa!

They get their cars from the auctions that are coming off lease and sale them at great prices, I picked my moms 2008 RX350 from them still under factory warranty. Nalley Lexus is right down the street from that location (ALM has 2 locations) ALM moves way mor used LS cars than they do because of CPO etc, this car has the same option as my 07 and is rare to find! If I get a chance this week maybe lunch break I will swing by and take a look at it for you, shoot me a PM with your cell.

Tee I really appreciate the gesture but I called and its already gone. I'm pissed since I saw that car listed over a month ago...but then again I wasn't quite ready at the time. Good to know that u sound like you're semi familiar with this place since I have noticed they have quite a few LS L's and was wondering what was up with them. They have other 2010s but I have certain options I'm looking for so I can wait. ...I guess
