pricing doesn't seem bad, and I guess living u there you need/want AWD. I would pay close attention to the carfax, and service history. really hard to say without those details.

If the car was repaired properly after the wreck, then that price is a steal.

The condition of the car scares me. That price seems too low. Doesn't look like it was well taken care of.

Why are you guys knocking this car down?

I would def go there and have the car inspected. I would also seach the records on mylexus.com for anything out of the ordinary. You can't really judge this car by the crap quality photos.

I looked on Lexus Drivers and doesn't look any better. I wouldn't and that's my opinion, it had damage at 5k, car doesn't seem to be taken cared of. The car stops at 59K so the other 32K was either at the dealer or just wasn't brought to a Lexus dealer in that time.

Severe damage reported means the airbags deployed. As stated above, if the vehicle was properly repaired it should be fine for that price range. You may can talk them down for a cheaper price. Find out who repaired it what was the damage.

I'm not so concerned about the accident. It was repaired by a shop I work with on a daily basis and they are very good at what they do. I did notice when I ran they service history at work the previous owner was on of our clients and it looks like he mainly came in for the recalls and the occasional oil change. I'm thinking of taking a look at it this weekend if I get the chance my only problem is what a fair price would be to offer knowing of the accident and what appears to be lack of the 60k & 90k services.

I would say that a fair offer would be $14,500 is a fair price. Due to mileage and history.
