Have you looked at Carmax? Here are a number of L's, 2008 or newer.

I dont know where you are per se, or where the car you want is currently, but you can have it transferred to your nearest Carmax. Might be free, might cost a few bucks. If its free, have it pulled over, if it costs, factor that into the price and keep reading. I had mine pulled in from CA and I live in NV. It was free, so easy decision there.
A couple of thoughts, the same ones I had when I bought cars from CarMax. First, they don't sell junk, they make their money on selling lots of them so its probably fine. However, I never trust that either, but I'll throw it out there.
Second, assuming it IS junk, they have a 5 day no questions asked return policy. You change your mind, don't like it, it smells or runs funny, whatever, bring it back and the deal goes away. If you keep it longer than 5 days before it starts having issues, they have a 30 day warranty on the car that actually doesnt suck. I had mine inspected by the local Lexus dealership who identified that the alignment was off. Carmax service gave it an alignment, resurfaced the rotors (didnt ask for that but it had the Brembo squeal) and replaced the two front tires since they were worn funny from the alignment issue.
So, personally, I think your only risk to having one transferred in is the possibility that you might be out the transfer fee if you don't buy the car. I dont think you have a lot of risk with the car being a lemon.

Hahaha, No, I didn't see the edit but that's coooooo. So, You liked the dealership ? I really can't do it if I can't check it out first. I gotta be patient. But, This is so close to mine that it's hard to see it and not get it. The only difference is this one doesn't have the Touring Package but, I don't know if that a Pro or a Con. Other than 18 vs. 19 inch wheels and Bigger Brakes and Rotors.

Downsides to Carmax is that the price is non-negotiable. Not even a little, not at all, period. You could probably negotiate that car cheaper at a normal dealership, but you'd have to put in the work to do it. So you pay a bit more for the hassle-free thing. That being said, I've found their pricing to be pretty competitive. Less than what a normal dealership will start at, more than what I expect to end at with some hard negotiating.
But they aren't kidding on their return policy and warranty stuff. They move so many cars, whatever you got is just noise to them. They'll take back the car and sell it again in a few days if you don't like it.

Take Shad034 up on his offer to go check it out for you! It's almost exactly what you're looking for. Looks like it has the air suspension though. But bonus on the rear seat entertainment. I don't remember you seeing one with that option come up recently. Don't write it off yet just because it's far away.

Dude the one in Ohio is closer to you and well under 100K miles. It doesn't have the 19s but it is has Comfort Plus and NO air shocks ! You can tell by leather stitched door handles.

Wow, most want the black interior which hides dirt ,wear and tear better and the leather can easily touched up with dye.
Comfort plus & no air shock is the best combo you can get for an L imo.

Mine had the rear seat DVD setup also. Hmmmm... That $800 dollar delivery fee bugs me. The offer to go check it out is Very Cool and, I appreciate it too. I'm just too **** about things. Thanks for the offer Shad034 but, I better slow my roll and wait 'till one becomes available here locally. Still Digging. Thanks again Shad !!!!! Props. Now, I'm going back to that page and drool some more.
Just a note, the 800 to transfer it out doesn't commit you to buying it. You can walk away if you don't like it, without your 800 though. I'd have to wrestle with whether I'm OK with paying 800 to get the car I want right now or wait for a bit to maybe find another one that didn't cost me the 800. I had the same battle when I was looking at a LS through Autonation that would have been 675 to transfer out to me. I got lucky and found the Carmax one without any transfer fees.
