12 and prior are Starfire Peal White, which I like more actually. 13+ are Ultra White. 14 gets F logo headrests and suede door inserts and center console armrest. Also, carbon fiber spoiler. Yes I think 59k is a bit high. Shoot for 55K or lower in my own opinion

Just my .02 but I would rather buy a low mile CPO 2012 for around $45k than spend $55k or more for a 2014. It's the same car with the same new style wheels. Differences like the F in the headrest and a carbon trunk spoiler are so minor and not worth $10-$15k more.

^^^ I mean that depends if you want a newer car. That's what your paying for more than headrest logos

Negotiation , the lowest the better, of course its 2014 that what you want do some homework on the price surrounding area how much people are paying. At the end of the day, you want to pay the final price. Out the door price. Good luck and welcome to the F family

This is the one in Westmont, yeah? If so, go ask for Rita. She'll take care of you. I had seen this one, but keep in mind no ML or Headlamp Washers (if either are important to you). I'd check service history through owners.lexus.com, just add the VIN. I know this one was a corporate lease from Georgia, so it shouldn't have seen much in the way of salt or winter. Check it out in person and see what you think. (or maybe I'm way off and it's not that car)

^^^ I agree. My CPO 2011 is like a brand new car for a heck of a lot less. You could customize your entire interior with the difference and have money left over.

It is a bit high IMO, but if you can negotiate to low 50s with a max of say 54-55k, it could be worthwhile. It does have some improvements over a 2011-12. Steering ECU was changed, though a few claim it isn't much in terms of driving feel, you do get a CF spoiler, which looks amazing in contrast to the Ultra White paint, and overall a newer vehicle. 12k on the clock is about average. If you're adamant on this particular vehicle, have an independent mechanic, not a dealer tech, look over the vehicle. Things such as tire wear, suspension components, and others are what those guys catch before we as consumers might upon first glance. If the selection is slim, I'd go after it, but limit to a max 54-55k- but that's only because it was the last year and I'd rather take that over the newer F performance models. Best of luck, and keep searching. A better deal could find its way towards you soon.

That price is really high. But it would be nice to have the last year production. I think your calipers come colored like a orange.
