so its grandma owned.

117K silver with maple, mint.....Ultra lux

What do you think it popped up in my moms little town no problems at all.


ahhhhh give me your thoughts....I am a 3 time gs owner getting old haha

As always, it depends on its condition and maintenance history.
Assuming that it is in great shape and maintenance (especially the 90K service including timing belt) is current, it sounds like a fantastic price to me.
Oh, be sure to carefully check the air suspension. It is quite expensive, even for DIY.
After that, check all the features, switches, CD player, Nav, etc.

perfect maint....need the big one t-belt pump

chime in guys I am on the fence.....no flaws but I wanted a 04 05

if u wanted an 04-06, i'd wait. it will be worth it. the 90k service cost around 1k+ parts and labor

If yur budget is 11 g's it is a solid deal if they allow for price of t belt. Otherwise, You will be getting a pretty high mileage 04, last time I looked at auction they where going 11g's for 170 k -230k miles . Then you have no idea what you are getting besides Lexus website.

Expect to pay 13,000 -14,500 at best or so for the same premium of ML 04 if you are lucky to find one in good shape with a history.

If you are on a budget the air will cost you check it out as others have said.

I agree with warminwisc... if you're looking to stay in that price range... you won't touch a 04 with decent miles. 11k for an Ultra...with good maintenance and well kept...that's a steal in my book.
So...pay more for what you want, or buy this...there are a few differences between the models as have been highlighted... but even if the 01 is not what you want... then you won't be happy with it no matter what the price... unless the deal is more important than the car...
Toyota dealership can do the belt and the full 90k service for about $1200 I'm sure...they are always cheaper than the Lexus dealer...
That also points to questionable maintenance practices if it has not been done yet...

I always believe in wait for what you want. Compromises lead to dislikes piling up and you'll be wanting an '04+ at some point.

I would buy it.. you will be happy with it.. checkout the car in person..then make your decision

It sounds like a nice car but I would highly recommend waiting for the 04+ if that's what you truly want.
