Something weird about that car. It has the parking sensor switch on the dash, but the exterior has no sensors at all on either bumper. Also, the mirrors look like they're starting to get the issue where they extend too far forward.

That could just be because the original buyer was too cheap to buy the sensor package and they didn't have the option to remove the switch.
It looks like a nice one to me, but 10.9MPG Tank average is worrying. You'd have to rag on it like a madman for an entire tankful to get it that low.

Every LS I've ever seen that didn't come with the sensor package doesn't have the button either. It's possible the mirror switch stopped working as they often do and they replaced that whole assembly rather than service the switch itself. As far as the gas mileage goes, I'd say it has been idled a lot with that current tank and also probably a bunch of stop and go driving. The tank and overall average MPG display does account for idling and will drop as it idles.

Ugh, lot of money for an 04 in the least desirable color with no maintenance history. Looks like a dealer flip. Great looking headlights with no UV damage, but what about the front bumper touch ups? Does it have floor mats? How many keys? Plan on doing the 90k service due to age as well as a bunch of other work if there is no record of it being done before.

Love seeing clean examples and love seeing high prices but make sure you do your homework.
