Default About to pick up a 2008 gs350 awd

As the title states I'm about to pick up a 2008 gs350 opaline pearl/black leather w/the red wood trim. I'm Just wondering if there's anything I need to look out for. I work at a Lexus dealer so I'm pretty familiar with most of the Lexus lineup but I don't really know much about the 3GS we don't get them traded in too often..but with that being said I have access to the vehicles service history and this car has been very well cared for. Every service has been done at a Lexus dealer the spark plugs have been done, timing chain, fluids everything and it has brand new tires. It doesn't need anything to pass state inspection. The only thing that bothers me is the mileage 116k but this car is SPOTLESS and it drives perfect I've already driven the car I just want to make sure it's a good buy. I'm also curious as to how rare/common this color combo is.

Thanks!

Jake

Sounds like a good car, but in order for us to determine if it's a good buy, we need to know the price.

Scrounge up a couple grand more and you can get one with under 90K miles and with Mark Levinson Audio. Just be patient.
Unless your heart is set on that color combo.

Had my 07 gs for nearly 3 years and has 150k. No major issues except I had the alternator go out and a wheel bearing. Besides that solid car. Changed all the fluid and time for another go round
