help on car history.
hey lads, I've found what I think is the right GS400, its a 99 black on black , 77k km or about 48k miles on the odo, I've seen quite few (only like 9 for sale in Ontario), and this was most satisfactory one so far, I did check the dealership from Better Business Bureau and it was fine, they've been in business for 25 yrs.
I drove the car with its summer tires on , which is Fuzion, I've never driven on those tires before, the tires had more noise than I expected, but the interior looked brand new and the paint was in amazing shape , same as under carriage, which compare to some others its in good shape, the price on the car we finalize was at $25k Cdn + tax. Which I think its a fair price compare to what MTO has for its retail value.
The problem occur here, the sales told me it's a 2 owners car, the previous owner lived awfully closed to his work so the mileage, right now I paid a conditional deposit on the car , the condition indicates that the deposit will be returned if I am not satisfy with the history of the car once checked by me. On used car package that I just got shows TWO leasing company, with nothing between them, which means direct interaction between them , first one is late 1998-2000, second is late 2000-2002, then comes in private owner.
Which I'm very confused as if it remain the same owner between the duration of 1998-2002? is it possible for the first owner to have 2 different leasing company thru out the 4 year period? Due to privacy law I cannot check between these two companies, I'm going to a Lexus dealership where the car was sold to check for service history later on in the afternoon.
Thanks.

now i am no super expert on how these stuff work, but i think it's possible to have a car leased from two places by the same owner, it's just like changing the finance company. but i will leave the details to other experts

If the car is in good mechanical condition (have it checked out) then I wouldn't care if the car had 2 owners. If both took care of the car then I don't see why there would be problems with that.
