In fairly new Lexus case, as long as it has not been in any accident, I would not care about certification.

hard to say, is it same amount of miles? I myself go for L/certification, it goes into car fax and it could have a little better resale value later.

Also a 2020 is closer to the end of production, in the future could be more desirable. I don't know why, for example I'm trying to sell a 2004, I just wished it was 2009, people really ding you for a year or few years. It always sounds better to have the newer year for resale.

To me, since I drive my cars till it's pretty much done, so i tend to keep them for 15-20yrs+, and I usually would invest in 'extended warranty' if I use the vehicle alot.... I'd go with L'Certified w/ extended warranty - I paid some 3400 for the extended warranty (unlimited mileage 0 deduct) and it's paid off itself after a few warranty work already - just peace of mind.

You can buy extended warranty certified or not, can't you?

But I agree a certified add-on warranty is more seamless, it works like a Toyota/Lexus warranty.

z32 got a good price, I can tell you mine was $1K more .. I guess I didn't fight hard enough.

Both options would have:
3rd row seating
60K mileage on both options
Black color
No second row entertainment
