Default Help needed 08GS350

Good evening,

I have got another 08 GS350. There are no accidents on this car and 132K miles. I have attached the Experian AutoCheck report and Lexus services report. Please please help me to decide. He listed it as 9K and then asked for 7.5K. I have highlighted the potential concerns on the Lexus service history. The current owner drove 10 months and 10k miles.

Thank you.

Everything looks and sounds clean to me! Most important thing is the price and the condition of the car. Buying a car from miami is super tough with all the dirty games they play. Right now prices should drop for car as the holidays are approaching. I would replace the water pump after buying it as they are known to go bad around that mileage.

But this car seems legit, best of luck

$5,300 is mmr average auction value. This is what car dealers use as a guide to buy cars. If you can scoop it up for 6,000-6,500 thats a good deal

My offer to that seller was $6.5k. It seems he is not willing to sell.

Thanks again.

I looked at the service history. The water pump and coolant system needs to be changed, which the previous owner declined several times. Also reports of an oil leak. And this was After the valve cover replacement? Seems iffy.
