Offered by a non Lexus dealer. One owner car but haven't yet seen Carfax. Would definitely have it checked out by the Lexus dealer before buying. Right at 34k miles. AWD and equipped with the premium and comfort packages, HID, NAV and camera. Price is $30K. Also, any idea what it cost to update the NAV? I am guessing it is not worth it as the newer smart phones seem to work quite well.

On paper, deal is good if Carfax and mechanicals check out. Try to get the maintenance history as well from Lexus when you get it checked out. Nav update is 150-200$.

Good luck.

Thanks, will ask for maintenance records. I think there is a 30k maintenance that is required and a bid more expensive than the ones up to that point, right?

What does KBB say it's worth?
We bought our CPO, 2011 RX, no nav, no HID, premium, luxury, chrome wheels, 32K miles, for $35,500 + T/L at a dealer. In October 2013.
When you take the car to a Lexus dealer for a pre-purchase check, I recommend you request a service history print-out. It will be more detailed than you can imagine. Ask the Service Advisor to translate the abbreviations.
Even if the servicing was done at a Toyota dealer, it will show in the print-out.
The 30K service is shown as $567.00 on my print-out, but I would ask Lexus to see if this is accurate.
I assume you are going to use the lack of a 30K service as leverage against the asking price.
Smart move. Let us know how things transpire.

When I bought my 2012 in June this year it had 28000 on it and the dealer claimed the 30000 service was done......I took it to my mechanic before signing and we checked everything and all was done but they forgot to change the battery's in the key fobs,,,,,,Found out yesterday while out with the car..Not a big deal but I would suggest keeping a new battery in the glove box.
