Default picking up a 250

Hi guys, I'm going to go look at a 2008 is 250 tomorrow and hopefully if all goes well ill get it. I'm wondering where all the vin tags are and any tips I should know before buying.

Thanks, Paul

It would be nice if you can find out the vin before you go there. You can check the car history on Lexus website.

For accidents you'll have to check with Carfax, Lexus website is good for the maintenance history, see if all the recalls were taken care of.
When I shopped for a car a month and a half ago I bought a 30 days unlimited vin's from carfax and was a great investment .
