Default Is this 05 ls430 ul worth it?

I currently have a 03 GS430 but it's a tad small for my one and two year old so I gotta look into the big body LS.
2005 LS430 UL
Clean title
111,847
Flint mica / black leather
2 owners
First owner always had it serviced at Newport Beach Lexus but major tune up was done at 87k at South County Lexus (Mission Viejo).
Second owner purchase the car at 92k and was offered for sale at 111,847 miles.
Clean carfax no accidents.
Dealer internet asking price is $13,990.
Thanks for your time.

thats a good price.. When I was looking at cars, most in that mileage range were go for a few k more and were not UL models. Just keep in mind potential higher costs for having a UL.

That is a decent price.

If you can find a private seller, it may be a lot cheaper. Many people that bought the LS new, took their cars to dealerships for all of their services (Wealthier elderly peeps). For the most part, you don't have to worry about buying a LS from original or 2nd owner privately.

Also you might want to make sure the suspension is still good on that UL.

as mentioned, the only thing that would raise concern for me is the stock air suspension. pretty costly if it where to go. But still a very fair price for that car. Flint mica is beautiful
