Pretty much no service history on it which seems like a red flag. It's also been sold at auction twice recently which seems weird, although I'm not sure it's bad. Carfax is clean though.

It hits all the marks I'm looking for plus has HUD and ML sound.

I have a 1 owner 2015 with perfect dealer maintenance history I'm in the process of locking down. But saw this one pop up and I like the color combo better.
That one doesn't sound bad. I recomend getting the one with the most features and better service history

Didn't see the seller list HUD or ML sound on the blk/blk f-sport I'd go for the one with a better history personally - the only plus for that one is low mileage and still under the original warranty.

This seems good based on the Lexus Service, they did the 30K service already on the car and most of the services were done through dealer.

Nice, had no idea that was a thing and I've been driving Lexus for 6 years.

That's what I did, 2015 GS with top Luxury package, so I still got Sport + mode, 18 way seats, heated back seats etc etc... Also started adding some of the aesthetic upgrades to the car, I think it looks better than a F sport (imo)

Whoops, I posted the wrong link.

Here is the sketchy history one. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...ngId=513971365

The original one I posted is the one I'm working on getting currently.
