I keep looking to buy and ISF, and noticed how weird it is for a car with less than 30 miles to have two owners already. If you look at the carfax some of them buy it and sell it in a couple of months,any clues is it something i should be worried about. I really dont think its worth paying over 40,000 for a car with 2 previous owners

a car with that many miles I can see it having 2 owners easy maybe even 3. You have to understand that a car fax tells you exactly how many owners so in 30 miles the car could be sold in this fashison

1st sale from Lexus to the Dealer, 2nd sale from Dealer to person buying the car. Its doable and all this within the first 30miles.

Wait so you wouldn't pay 40k for an ISF with 30 miles just because it had two owners?? (we're talking about 30 miles not 30,000 right)....as long as the car was a clean title and not wrecked I'd jump on it in a millisecond

Also could have been bought by a private party not titled and then flipped for profit. Either way not uncommon.

^I was thinking along those lines too, Splat. But oddly enough, there is that stigma of it being "used" simply because it had more than one owner, when in fact it could be just transported to the new owner. but 30 miles is still very new. i've seen new cars on the lots with the odometer reading 40+ with technically 0 owners (can't really include lexus selling it to the dealer as an owner), and i think that's worse than have 30 miles for a new car with a few owners on title. hopefully there's nothing wrong with the car, but it could be just a transactional thing, as i can't see anyone driving the car after 30 miles and getting bored with it to sell it that soon. best of luck!

Maybe you should buy a new one instead...then you won't have to worry about it being "used" by 2 others.

I assume the OP meant 30K and not 30 miles... but even with 30K I can see the car having 2 owners as pretty normal. Specially if the cars were purchased in the norther regions where you can't really drive them in the winter.
