I'm interested in purchasing the vehicle from an out of state seller in the Classified forums. I want to do the inspection through CarChex but I don't know how thorough the are. Would it be better to find a independent repair shop ?
Thanks for any links or advice.

Yes, definitely find an independent shop (not one the seller recommends, either) or Lexus dealer to inspect the vehicle. You could ask local members to check it out as well if anyone is close / available.
You should also get the maintenance history from Lexus and run a Carfax / AutoCheck - type report.

I want to put down an offer for this 2007 IS 250

I live in Mass. Is there anyone in the NYC area who take a look at the car and make sure everything is on the up and up.
I will update the post with the seller's address after I get it.
Thank you
