Thumbs up Anyone in Orange Park/Jacksonville Florida?

I have located a White/Black 2011 LX 570 in Orange Park and need some "local eyes" to vet it cosmetically before I have it PPI'd @ Jacksonville Lexus. I have had several LX 470's and am ready to step up to the next level. Unfortunately, I live in Seattle so it is pretty tough to do this myself. I am a VERY discerning enthusiast and hopeful that I can get some local help before I move on this deal 32k miles $30k, almost sounds too good to be "right". If all goes well. I will fly out and drive it home.
Thanks!

Im not in Jacksonville, but I would be very cautious that this is some kind of scam, or that the vehicle is salvaged or a flooded vehicle. Why would the someone sell that vehicle to you for $30000 when they could walk into any Lexus dealer or Carmax and get at least $5000 more.

I live in Jacksonville and will be visiting Orange Park this am. I will drop by and take a look.

Update: just looked at the Lexus of Orange Park website and they do not list this vehicle so it may be sold. I sent you a PM with my cell. Let me know if it is still where you saw it. Send me a URL.

Wink Many thanks to Greg!!

If it looks like a duck...... please consider this thread DOA. Obviously an internet troll trying to scam the public with a "too good to be true" deal. Greg sniffed it out, my deepest gratitude to him and the Club Lexus Forum.....the search goes on

Low mileage LX are like hen's teeth, you have to see 'em to believe 'em... Keep looking.

I called the phone number and got no answer. After repeated calls I decided to head over to the address.

Turned out out to be a very large storage facility, the place allows businesses to be run out of them and it looked like a junk yard. It was the type place where concealed carry is a big plus.

I asked three people there if there was a Lexus LX for sale there and they either did not speak English or said they had never seen such a vehicle. It certainly would have been noticed in a dump like this. Sounds like the owners were using the vehicle as their daily driver and were not there OR were just trying to scam the buyer out of a deposit.

Did sound too good to be true.

I've found over the years that concealed carry is usually a "big plus".
