Default 2007 LS460L Stationary Gearbox Jerk

Hello all,

I'm interested in buying this 2007 LS460L, fully loaded with the rear controls/TV, only 100,000km (~62,000 miles). No air suspension!

Everything checks out in terms of a quick mechanical inspection, except for the fact that it slightly jerks when shifting from P to R to D.
It's not a violent jerk, but the car wants to move an inch.

My 2005 Rx330 doesn't even flinch when shifting through them.

My question here is, could this be a big problem worthy of completely avoiding this car? Or should I spend some money to get it fully inspected at the dealer?

LS's are extremely rare in my country, and it's the only one listed for sale at the moment.


Nb: No service history included, car originated from Dubai. Car lot claims it's a one-owner vehicle. Asking price is super reasonable.

Thanks!

Everyone Everything is sketchy.

This car though, was a one-owner vehicle. Owner lived in Dubai and moved back to Lebanon in 2011, drove the car and recently sold it to this lot. The paperwork inside proves that it's true.
