Perfect service records...like new in and out 1 owner..........15k..........thoughts?
My 2006LS has 129k and those miles make me very nervous.....but looks like showroom......what to do?
Thanks

 

If you are adventurous and DIY why not? At 100k we are dealing with fluid changes (transmission, coolant, brake), belts, spark plugs, brake pads and regular maintenance. However at 200k we deal with valve jobs, transmission rebuilds or replacements, wheel bearing hubs, head gaskets etc. I am sure the car would go over 300k but the risk for these expensive jobs increases.

 

Umm.....thanks......you answered my question.......scares me even more.....I was shocked when I was looking at the maintenance records and saw he paid 3k for a front headlight........I'll stick with my ls430.....easy to get parts and no 3k headlights....lol

 

Too much for a car with so many miles regardless what is the trend on the market right now.

 

Thanks.....I totally agree....

 

As a rule, I buy cars with under 75k miles. While a car can last 300k, it will take some repairs to get there.

 

$15000?

I just paid $10k otd for a like new 130k mile one with a fully replaced interior, actuator, and control arms.

I would keep looking for a better deal.

 

2013 LS? That’s a steal!

 

For a 2013+?

I'm betting your talking about a '07-'12 which is honestly still a pretty good deal with those issues addressed.

 

Its a 07, same engine/trans/suspension though so fundamentally the same car minus some fluff. It's still insane for a 13 to pay that much with those miles when all the same issues apply to them. I totally looked past the fact it's a 13 since the miles made me assume 07-12 lol!

Interior not so much but there are 4 panels that can de laminate in them still. However that should still be under ZLZ

 

If I recall correctly, ZLZ on an '07 expired 4 yrs ago.

 

13 is still valid. 07 expired this year only

 

I sold my 2013 U/L SWB with 178k right before the 'rona car buying madness started to my neighbor's dad for $17k. I only paid $18k for it with 139k. That car was perfect and he's close to 200k on it now and other than a deer strike that took out a headlight he's had ZERO issues with it. Properly maintained, the 2013+ cars are easy 300k automobiles.

 

My 2013 LS has 150.000 miles without problems, only had a rear window leak. I know about a LS600hl 2013 with 400.000 miles. 200k isn't new,but my LS600HL chassis looks like a 6 month old car, and my car is driven in deep snow almost half the year.

 

Not a Lexus Guru but for comparison sake I paid $17k for a 2008 SWB w/ 25,400 miles (bought Oct. 2020). Maybe COVID-Car inflation has affected the price but $15k for 210k miles seems like a lot.

When I was getting the "Non-Needed" ZLZ interior replacement performed at Lexus of Memphis, I had a dealer who wanted to give me $20K for my car and that was several months before the car inflation price took affect. Stated he had SEVERAL potential customers ready to buy ANY low mile 07-09ish 460 he could find.
