What would you be wary of, specifically? If there's a service history on Lexus.com, what else should I look out for?

Autocheck the car for accidents, amount of owners, and properly maintained. Timing belt / water pump to be specific. Considering the solid market on nice used 430s under priced models generally have hidden problems. I don't buy from mom and pop dealers.
