It’s the best bang for the buck car out there IMHO. I purchased a 2007 Ls460 with 59,000 and was literally at the exact price out the door as you, $15,200. I couldn’t be happier.
One thing I did which seemed to help a lot is a couple transmission drain and fills about 6 months apart, helped smooth out the changing of gears. Also, the control arm bushings were shot at 70,000 (previous owner was 80 years old) so I don’t think he ran it hard. If you’re planning on keeping it 5+ years I’d recommend buying a set of 8 control arms estimated price $2,000 if bought separately on eBay for peace of mind. You’ll need them 30-60k later. Change all air filters, seat, engine, cabin. Find a good Indy shop to go too and whatever you do, don’t take it to the stealership for obvious reasons.

Thank you for the recommendations and yes i plan on keeping it for a long time. all the filters were changed when it was traded it in, they also changed out the spark plugs, drive belts, and replaced the radiator. all maintenance after traded in equaled to almost 2,000 dollars.

If you look and are patient you can get these gems. I bought two recently.
A 08 ES350 in Black with 28k on it, looked like it did in the showroom. Paid maybe a little too much at $15k but great car.
Then I found an 08 LS600hL in Noble Spinal Mica with 45k on it. Also in incredible shape. Only paid $20k for it, I think that was a great deal. Still looks and drives like a $120k car. I get lots of compliments on it.
You got a great deal, enjoy that great machine, they are so smooth. When you see someone driving a new Ford Focus you know that you spent less money and will be at the shop less. Makes me smile!
