I found a 2008, 85K Miles advertised for 11k

Single owner
It has Mark Levinson and Panoramic roof.
Not sure what other features.

Based on Carfax, it looks like early on it was serviced at combination dealer & independent, but last few years only at independent mechanic.

Does this sound like a good deal?
What should I be on the lookout / what specific questions should I ask?
How much does the 90k service cost (or whatever the next major service is)?
Any recommended mechanic I could bring it to in NYC or NJ to have it checked out?

Sounds identical to the one I looked at just yesterday, located in central jersey. If it's the dark blue one, let me know and I'll share what I found with you.

I'd inquire about the water pump as that seems to be one of the most common/expensive things that goes on these. And, make sure the VVT-I oil hose recall was done.

That is a good price, maybe too good but you have to check it.

You will love all the feattures on the UL, if that is one, great buy. In Québec, i must have the only UL in the city.

You guys are lucky! I am shopping for a 2007/08 ES350 on the West Coast, and nothing I saw so far is that low.

I've got to chime in that if the exhaust tips are preventing you from making the purchase you want, they probably shouldn't. I've been following the forums for the 5th gen ES for around 5 years now and have never seen a single complaint or report of oil being present in the exhaust tips.
