Car with 15k miles too much?
I understand these cars are really reliable but 156000 is still a lot. I've attached the service records, before this every single service was done at 5k intervals. What do you guys think? I'm also going to get a PPI from a lexus dealer. Dealer's selling for 9k and its a custom luxury, thanks!

IMO, 156k is not too many miles for a car that has been maintained. If maintained there is no reason you can't get another 100k miles out of it. Now, $9k for that many miles might be another story. It would have to be the exact color combo that I want with all the boxes checked on my options. Then if the car was in near perfect shape you might have to pull the trigger. Otherwise know that with that kind of mileage they are going to have a harder time selling it. Like you, there are plenty of people out there that question a car with those miles.
BTW, depending on when the timing belt was last done you'll probably be coming up to needing it changed soon so you might have to have them shave off a little for that and start budgeting to have it replaced.

I bought mine with 160k on it. Had good service records but not as good as this one. Was clean, all original with a few little issues. Long story short it was nice, drove well and I paid just under 5k for it. Ive done some work to it but not much. I'm still way under 9k all in. I'm at more like 6500 right now including a 900 dollar set of tires. Id say it would have to be near perfect cosmetically with everything working for that price.

I bought mine less than a month ago with 160k miles(260k kms...I'm canadian) had a few issues mechanically, but ended up spending $25 fixing the issues.
just spent $300 on tires for the 20s...I will be getting my timing belt and water pump done in a couple weeks.
all in at that point will be less than 5k canadian.
