Default Purchase advice

Im planning on purchasing an 07 l460 with 38k on the clock. i am aware of the wind noise issue and if it does occur i will try the JMCRANEY fix. However is there anything else i should be on the look out for? Thanks in advance

If you're getting it CPO you should be good but there are other TSIBs such as the fuel rails that need replacing...

Check the pillar columns on both sides where the metal of the seat belt would hit. The get easily damaged and there is a TSIB to replace with a redesigned part

You should test drive the car before you buy it so you are not surprised by the wind noise. You should be able to hear it if your car is affected. Make sure to get one with lots of options and don't pay too much! Hopefully you don't get another black car, because Lexus black is about soft as it gets. Its the opposite of your Infiniti, which has hard paint. You will see every single imperfection in the paint and the front end will chip like crazy.

^Depends on options, location, aftermarket upgrades, number of owners, service history and damage (either repaired on un-repaired).
