Was actually planning on offering $21k, no way I'm dropping $26k. It's been sitting at their place a while. So either there's no interest in it or they paid too much to get it and want a return on it.

I have no problem walking out on it. I just saw it online one day and did a little research and it kind of grew on me. Can definitely find something else if they don't want to let it go for the price I'm willing to pay.

I really think this was sold at the auction in Manhiem pa and it was sold by the owner Mike from world class auto in upper Darby pa on Baltimore pike pretty Shure ,it seems like the same one to be honest lol small world he was asking for 28 think that's why no one bought and he auction it off cuz it was sitting so long but it was clean and I know he owned it for 22k if it's the same one my friend knows him very well and I personally talked to him about it

All the dealership services were done at Thompson Lexus in Doylestown, PA according to the service records. Looks like it was sold twice at auto auctions in PA; March 2nd 2015 and April 18th 2016.

Would be interesting if it was the car you're talking about. I'm guessing this IL dealership got it for a decent price. Then again I could be wrong.

Alright, be some good info if he remembers what the other person paid for it. Might have some leverage at the dealership if they don't know that I found out what it went for lol. Not to mention it'd be neat if it was your friends.

Just got a chance to view the service history. 2 times requested to clean bird poop, and I think 3 times to refinish the wheels for scratches. But this one is my favorite:

SERVICE: FRONT/REAR BODY
DESCRIPTION: FRONT/REAR BODY
~|~CUSTOMER STATES A PARKING
PASS HAS FALLEN INBETWEEN THE
ASHTRAY DOOR IN THE CENTER
CONSOLE. INSPECT AND REPORT.

This lady went to the SC for anything and everything. Hilarious, but also gives me a little reassurance about the condition of the car.

Just spoke to him he said it was the one but he don't remember what he auction it for . Funny small world lol but I know he own it for 22k probaly sold it between 19-22k I'm guessing and i believe he sold it at Manhiem auctions but he had it for awhile my guess is that he lost money on it . If u want I can find out the number to his dealership which is called world class and u can call and ask maybe he would tell u

When I first started thinking about an ISF a couple of years ago I was looking at the '08's In particular I had long discussions with the owner of a particular car that was relatively higher mileage '08. The asking price was slightly less that the going rate but I was offering less because of the higher mileage. In the end we never did strike a deal. A month or two later I bought a 2012 ISF with very low mileage and over two years bumper to bumper warranty remaining. I paid almost twice the price I was looking to pay for the '08 but in my opinion I got better value for the money. I bought a Lexus CPO, with an incredibly good Lexus financing deal that offset the cash outlay I would have had to pay if I bought the private sale '08 car. I am satisfied with my purchase Moral of the story, there will be other cars and you will find one that suits your wants/needs. Take your time, do your homework and you will be fine.

Offer them 23, take it for 24. Seems like a fine car, especially with one owner, and you will probably have little to nothing to deal with.
Unless you track the car: brakes and tires get expensive
