I am looking to test drive a 2010 GS 350 in NY this weekend at a Lexus dealer. Carfax says single owner.

Few questions:
This has 72K miles. Is it ok to buy with this mileage the 2010 year model with the intent of the car being my daily driver? Any known problems

Even though it's a Lexus showroom, I am thinking of getting it reviewed independently by a mechanic. Any suggestions to for a shop or individual who can inspect it?

What are some major services coming down in next 12 months?

Thanks in advance...

Pull a service history and look at the recommended service schedule (it is also online at My Lexus).

Thx brucelee1. Looks like everything is up to date except tire rotation. Says it's overdue.

Folks. Any recommendations for a good mechanic near Manhattan for an independent assessment of the car?

Sounds like a winner. If it is a Lexus dealer, they did an inspection when they took the car in. I would ask to see it.

Hey, its free!

Thanks Verly6565 and brucelee1.

Good to know about the inspection report for the car. Also, just to be on the safe side I am taking an extended warranty from the dealer itself for 4 years comprehensive with 0 deductible. Hopefully this should cover for any unexpected surprises.

2010 was a good year, you'll get Gen 6 Navigation complete with bluetooth audio streaming and XM weather, stocks, traffic etc.

Carfax doesn't show recalls. Should I check some other place as well.

Thanks ThomasGS4

Also should I be looking for any specific thing since it's a New York, Manhattan based car?

They any Lexus dealer should be able to look it up for you.

What is the full chassis number? I can do a search for the recall.

verly6565

there is a recall for a fuel smell they will fix and give you a 2016 loaner car
i did not smell anything before i had it done

heres video what you can do in your gs 350

Thats great that yours has no rattles, but my 2011 had rattles starting at 20k miles so I dont think Lexus fixed it from the factory. My local dealership fixed it tho.
