The carfax is clean and a 1 owner so that is good.
I would at least pay a dealer to check it out (pre sale inspection).
Lexus charges about $95 for this and will find anything major.
I bought my 05 and did this and they found one leaky front strut. I got them to lower the price and it was piece of mind since I bought it 2000 miles away from me.
Good Luck

I have a 2006 I like it.
If there is any way you can swing a 2007, I'd look into it.
My main thing is the gen 5 Navi has a much better screen. Plus you add the possibility of adding audio accessories via aux input.
My gen 4 Navi screen looks kind of blocky compared to the newer. almost a standard def vs high def comparison.
Just some thoughts.

i post a reply where is it? not appoved yet?
pretty much got them to lower it to $25, but i found another one for the same price but minus the big wheels and it only has 60k miles. but the site won't let me post the link. up side on the private party is no tax and.. im just on the fits on this because its my first >$10k car.. if both are the same condition would you buy from the dealer with higher miles or the private party?

Depends on the history.
Is the private the 4th owner with no records?
Is the dealer a 1 owner rig with records?
You have to sniff around.
I like to buy from the owner usually since I can get a feeling from meeting him how it was taken care of etc.
But my last GX I bought from a dealer who got it from a lease return. Great 1 owner carfax that showed service every 5k. But they were not a lexus dealer!
Good Luck,
Get the KDSS if you can

Sales Taxes are not collected on private party vehicle sales that occurred on or after January 1, 2006. On private sales that occurred in 2005 or earlier, sales taxes are paid to DMV based either on the depreciated Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) or a vehicle appraisal.
