Still looking for a vehicle. Since vehicle locations are far I can not check them in person easily.
I found several vehicles which are higher milage (around 100K) however having 1 or 2 owners. I likes one of them, although the service history stated no open recalls and seems the car was serviced I found the following:
"RECONDITION DAMAGED PANELS AS PER ATTACHED ESTIMATE. PERFORM BODY WORK ON PASSENGER FRONT AND REAR DOOR ALONG WITH MIRROR ASSEMBLY (CRACKED) ON PASSENGER SIDE - OTHER - 84894 SUBLET TO HAVE BOTH RIGHT DOORS REPLACED , REPAIR RIGHT SIDE VIEW MIRROR, PERFORM PAINTLESS DENT REMOVAL & TOUCH UP, AND COMPLETE DETAIL. "
So the reports does not show accidents but is this normal? It seems to me it was involved in something on the passenger side?...
also this
"CUSTOMER REPORTS THAT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. PERFORM COMPLIMENTARY PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSTIC TROUB GUEST STATES VSC AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON CHECK ADVISE - C1246 MASTER CYLINGER PRESSURE SENSOR MAULFUNCTION 120 GUEST DECLINED WORK AT THIS TIME".
I am also looking another one owner vehicle which was one owner and again around 100K miles. Seems to be maintained well but one open recall (the seller is getting it done this week). Anthough this vehicle is not fully loaded (no backup camera, navigation etc) it seems like a nice vehicle. I missed a few nice looking 75K vehicles and going to 18000K for a 2008 model will be a though decision since "why not go even further and get some 2012 model" idea kicks in.
On the bright side Is 350 "or lexus altogether" seems to be driven by mostly responsible people who are maintaining their vehicles...
