Yes, it’s going to be this one.

New tires, brakes, all that service at Lexus. Great price before even negotiating. Everything has been done, AHS fluid has even been swapped. This is the one.

I have been chatting with them so we are in talks. Floor mats can be bought, you’re right. Maybe all but two, every single 5k service done. All major ones done.

I just want a walk around video and look at the paint better, but they know and will get it to me Monday.

Thanks all!

Very possible I might own this by this time tomorrow.

They want $37,4 which is already a low price, discounted. My goal is to get it OTD and shipped here for as close to/under 40k as I can. I’m not really going to nag them over their price too badly bc this is a $40k truck easy.

I don’t like that driver’s seat but the Lexus service history is so good, it couldn’t really be better. This VW dealer threw tires, alignment, front rotors and pads, wipers, etc etc all brand new on it.

Fingers crossed!

About PPI Lexus did them every 5-10k miles.

The drivers seat is no big deal. What they can do with repairing and re-dying leather makes it look totally new.

Here's an example:

Lol yep and I know people as well as a few businesses who could fix it. Not worried. I just hope undercarriage is pretty clean, but I’m sure the Lexus dealers’ car washes up there get the undercarriages well and it was there every 5k....

This is purely a “want not need” purchase as we never drive anywhere, which is the only last thing I’m chewing through on my way toward pulling the trigger. I don’t foresee any buyer’s remorse here, but we don’t “need” this truck. But then that’s how America is lol. Originally we wanted an unstoppable truck that could get us to family through whatever weather/snow etc to Rochester in case of a family emergency etc. That is still true.

Probably going to pass. It’s been in an accident. Which wouldn’t kill it for me except it appears there was front, fender, plus side damage.

Next I guess! I am being so picky through this but it will be worth it.

Yep. Might explain the great price.

I'm sure it's still fine but I'm not spending 40 grand on a vehicle that's been wrecked when there will be plenty more along the line. In 24 days these will all be a model year older, no big. Prices will go down a bit accordingly.

I don't think you will find that automatically prices will go down in 24 days. These things are priced in gradually on an ongoing basis.
