Question A LX question

I am looking into a deal very seriously. I will any appreciate any input.

2005 LX 470 1 owner; 125k on it. out the door cost $27k. All the service done in dealership incl timing belt/water pump etc and tires 80% new; no issues/faults noticed. Intesrestigly, per carfax had rear and front brakes replaced almost every 30k miles, is it something of a concern?
Above all, driven entirely in a state with no snowfall.

Is it worth looking into it? I 'm very much interested in LX only with limited budget in mind; to drive mostly during weekends for family getogethers.

Yes, it's definitely worth looking into. The service history is pretty solid, which makes me at ease with it's 125k miles; only the price seems a bit high. If, after the test drive you like it, I'd look to close the deal at around $25k.

On a side note, use Autocheck which much more detailed, not Carfax for vehicle history.

RoB Red are you sure about that? There isn't any place to check on that site. Kindly guide where exactly to look on the website lexus.com.
