Default Service History before purchasing

Hi, I pulled the service history on 2006 250 I'm planning to purchase. Are any of these a concern from your experience? Thanks

The items you list are manufacturer recalls and special service campaigns. If they've not yet been performed, any Lexus dealer will do them for you at no charge.

Yeah, the last three are normal; the first is just the dealership telling the customer that they recommend a few additional services, and the customer simply declined to have those recommendations performed.

Thanks Gville, If I went to the dealership would I have to pay out of pocket for those services or are they covered for free as a recall?

Those three were "saftey" recalls, so the dealership would have fixed them for free. I had the same recalls done on my 2IS for free.

This dealership has also tried to charge me for recall services. I recommend going somewhere else.

Lexus of Mishawaka is my local dealership. My car didn't have any of the recalls done when I purchased it. I had them perform the recalls and even had the sticky/melting dash WEP done. They replaced the dash within a week or two, but absolutely refused to replace the door panels. The service manager blamed the door panel damage on me! He insisted that I caused the issues and it was normal wear & tear for a used car. This dealership does do good work, but they won't go the extra mile unless you bought the car new from them. They're supposed to be an "Elite" Lexus dealer, but they seem to do the absolute minimum. Certainly not the Lexus experience I was expecting.
