Default Is this a good deal?

Hey guys, I'm gonna be test driving this 07 gs350, it's got 148k on it, is that much for these cars? I know older lexus can easily go past 300, but haven't seen many of these with that high of mileage (yet) anything I should look out for?

I would bring it to an independent shop, and get a pre purchase vehicle inspection. They'll check fluids, suspension components, tires brakes, just about every thing, for about 20 bucks. Tires plus usually does a really good job

I think it's on the high side also.

They probably raped the seller and gave him $9,500 tops in trade for his new Maxima. You have room to negotiate, but all that custom work like the blacked out grill, aftermarket calipers, and tinted wheels makes it look super sketchy. I would never, ever buy a car that someone had customized.

Are there any common things I should look out for with the 350s besides the squeaky dash? Have there been any expensive issues besides the engine recall?

That is a rebuilt title/salvaged title car meaning it was wrecked before and repaired. I would stay away
