Have a sneaking suspicion that he happens to own a 2010... It is a great year for them.
And it is odd the dealer would not discuss the service history, did you walk back to the service dept? Granted I have a really good relationship with my local dealer, I was able to give them VIN's from multiple LS's from all over and get an overview.

Even when I sell my own cars that's the first questions everyone asks and I don't really get it, they say do you have all the service history of the car since you owned it ? And I'm like no...I don't have anything because nothings been done ,,its a damn Lexus, its never needed anything other then oil changes and basic maintenance.
On my 08L I registered the vin # on the Lexus site and it showed a few oil changes very early in its life and then it went blank......by your logic I would of missed out on a great car because it didn't go through any extensive servicing ?

I'm not saying your wrong to want to see a cars history on paper but what are you expecting to find exactly on the service report of a 5-6 year old Lexus ? Why wouldn't you buy a car that showed no history of repairs or extensive service?

PPI, unless you really know what you are doing, I would reckon to be of the utmost importance.

Depending on when the 2010 was built it could be the perfect car. The latter years of the 2010 had the newly upgraded control arms. Small changes like the side mirror turn signals, bluetooth audio, usb hub, mild changes to the sound system are among the things that make it great. I don't recall reading if it has the Levinson sound system. As mentioned sign in to the Lexus Owners site and do a vin check. Carfax is good but not always accurate so be careful there. Price sound decent. If you can negotiate some then it would even be better. Good luck.

If you live in Atlanta, I might just take you up on that offer as I am often in Atlanta and am a lifelong Hawks/Braves/Falcons and since leaving Knoxville for school Dawgs fan. Love Atlanta and when traffic is moving, it might be one of the fastest driving metro areas I have ever driven in. It is one of those cities that if you drive 55 on 285, you will get run over. Same applies to the Connector and honestly seemingly all of metro Atlanta.
That said, unless you live inside the perimeter, it is a cruel commute to and fro the burbs. Don't know how folks who live in places like Canton deal with the commute to and from the city.

Jungle - I'm from the Chattanooga area. Lived in Maryville (Marevull) TN for a few years. It was probably my most favorite place. And now, I live and work in PTC. My commute is a 5 to 10 minute affair with no traffic. Next time you're coming to the metro-Atlanta area, let me know. I'll see if I can arrange a get together with all my "peeps." Yeah, that's right ... I'm hip. Tee, CJITTY, PrinceAkim, a couple others I can't remember their CL handles - I love all those guys, and you will too! They're chocked full of character and very vibrant. The kind of people a person WANTS to be around.
Maybe you should plan to come into town on a weekend with a Sunday morning Caffeine and Octane. We had quite a group the 1 time I went (with the LS).

Next time I am down that way, really hope the timing works out for Caffeine and Octane. By then, I will have the last niggling annoyance about the car fixed as I am having it professionally buffed and detailed next Wednesday after getting the rather large dent on the trunk fixed last week. Obsidian Black is a cruel color for keeping up to snuff, but I do think it looks amazing.

You are in Canada. It does not count as everyone is nice! All that being said, it is a chicken and egg thing in that everyone will ask and honestly with as expensive as these cars are, deferred maintenance can be pretty spendy. While we have timing chains, for instance having a record if/when a timing belt/water pump service can make a huge difference.

Spend some time here or do business with people here and you will see for yourself, I'm not sure where the nice Canadian reputation ever came from.
Anyway I no longer consider myself Canadian since we elected a mentally ill drama teacher to be our leader, I'm just a guy who lives here.

Haha, its weird because if you wanna know the truth, people are much nicer in the united states then in Canada.

Wow. I have spent a decent amount of time in Canada and one of my sister in law's is from Calgary and I have always had a very nice experience. Same can be said of the 48 out of 50 States I have been to.

As it was pre 9/11 and the FSWE is considered by some to have been (since replaced) more difficult than the LSAT, MCAT, and GRE. It is hard to know the main exports of say Namibia when it is/was multiple choice (there was also a written component) and all the choices were plausible, Made it past the first round and not the second. Should have reapplied, but my base mode is slacker....

Just had to comment. Canada is a backwater compared to the US. It's as the CIA commented: "... a challenged little brother with a really good inheritance." If you buy into the "Canada nice guy bit", you ain't been anywhere. I know Calgary very well - a backwater racist hick town that gets by on an oil economy. Canadians are very cold people by nature, very Briddish. The nice guy bit was created by Canada's government funded nationalist cottage culture industries packed with propagandists. You've heard their tripe before: Americans putting canada flags on their backpacks when travelling in Europe (not really), no racism (wrong), nice drivers (very, very wrong).
On the topic of the LS. Not too many of them here but I saw a really nice deep cherry/wine colored on on trader recently but it was an eastern car. Too bad - that color really brings out the 4LS shape.

By virtue of having such a massively smaller population whilst being rich in resources, it is certainly much easier to implement many of the safety net programs that some folks here envy. And I have to face that my experience in Canada was that of a white dude in a predominantly white country so.... Regardless, really did enjoy the time I have spent in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. Not actually been to Calgary or anywhere else in Alberta. Likewise for Saskatchewan. Have been to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island as well.

All I'm going to say about Canada besides my enjoyable visits as a tourist is that I wish the US LS460's came with the standard features that the LS460's made for Canada apparently do.
