CPO vs non CPO
Hello again,
Just another quick question to you guys as I am getting closer to making a decision. I am torn between a blue 2011 LS460 sport with 40K miles for 33K (is CPO'd currently but the CPO will be voided once if I purchased it) or a white 2012 LS460 sport with 40K miles for 39K CPO car from a Lexus dealer. Both cars have same options. Is it worth it form me to spend the extra 6K?

You can try negotiating and the '12 CPO do have a warranty. Or you can purchase a extended warranty on the '11 for a lot less than $6000.

Save the money, you'd never rack up $6,000 in repairs anyway. Plus I see CPO as more of a marketing gimmick. I know that they inspect both cars before selling them because they still have their reputation on line. I wouldn't think anything of buying a non CPO Lexus from a Lexus dealer. You can always request to see the carfax and service records for your piece of mind an 6k in yo pocket!!!

If you don't mind the blue, the 2011 seems like the right way to go. As others have said, if you're concerned about insurance, see what it would cost to extend the warranty. Depending on the month the car was born, will determine if you have any regular warranty remaining.

I prefer the blue to the white. First choice would be black but blue is close enough...

Bought my 08 LS with 58 K miles almost 15 months ago.
Control arm bushings were replaced at 66,877 miles (6/24/2015) - $ 4363.58
Brake actuator replaced today at 74,375 miles - $ 3153.23
I'm glad I bought a CPO LS. I even bought an extended warranty so I'm good for another 57 months/125 K miles.
I think you will be okay with the CA bushings.
I believe Lexus installed better CA bushings on 2011 LS.
