Default CPO LS600h

Any reasons not to buy an CPO 2008 LS600h with 20K miles? I only put about 8k miles per year on my cars, with mostly city driving. Dealer is asking 65K, and and the in service date was May 2009.

none I can think of that is a beautiful car, did the dealer give you all of the service records for your review? How long would you plan on keeping it?

They've said the service records are available if I wanted them. I typically keep my cars around four years. I agree with you that the car is a true masterpiece by Lexus. I had the car for the weekend, and now the IS feel like an economy car. Right now my current worry is getting in and out of tight parking spots.

i paid about 63 + TTL for a CPO'd car with executive package back in february -- make sure you get all the TSB work in before new car warranty expires. i had issues getting the dealership to do some of the stuff on mine, even though the car obviously had the symptoms.

buy it and dont look back! you will be glad four years from now that you did :-)

I would have them give you the service records, I would presume that all service for this level of vehicle was done there, and they could account for it.

That's a lot of Australian Dollars for the car. I assume it's the import duties causing the such inflated price? What'd happen if you imported a used vehicle?

Thats incredible! The Australian and US dollars are very close to parity so this means you have to pay about 1/4 million for the LS. There have to be some very large tariff barriers.
