I saw that but figured it was wrong since its says it has the exec package and wood trimmed table which it doesn't have either. You should call and find out. The records thing may not be a big deal, my first LS didn't have any service records because the owner owned the Toyota dealer I bought it from and they did all of the work for him and didn't record it in the system.

Damn that 2yr gap definitely bothers me too... Hookup or not 22,000 miles of undocumented service is not a good look :-/ I'd like to feel comfortable spending $50+ on any car purchase!!! Besides, I've had the hookup @ Audi with my A8, and BMW with my 750 and all my services were documented.... As you said before, it's been there for 4 months and as rare as this car is with these options, we should still be in search of it

Well, my gut once again proved to be dead on. The car in MO we have been talking about has HAIL DAMAGE. Dealer estimates on a scale of 1-10, 10 being worst that it is level 4. He said he would fix hail and do the car for $54K...needless to say, I'm OUT! Then he starts bashing the 600 hybrid after I told him I could get a CPO hybrid right now for about $52K.
I don't know about you all, but we all know the car biz is shady and you MUST do your homework. I wonder if we can start a problematic VIN thread to report issues like this to make sure our fellow members don't get screwed on hidden issues. This is the 4th LS i have researched that had issues not made public. Not sure if the mods would allow it, but it would be cool to post a VIN, the issue and post the source of the info...
The search continues....

CJITTY, I went to visit your car today. They have gotten the hail dents out of it except for a couple small and really unnoticable ones on the metal trim rails above the doors on the roof. Paint condition was ok but it is overcast right now and I didn't see it in the sun. Seem as someone does have a deposit on it. I don't know what the price was on it and I didn't ask. But if it has all of the bells and whistles that you want and the price is right, it may not be so bad to rethink this one.

Hey good looking out..some suspect items remain on this car..especially lack of any svc history. Price was high, especially for hail damage and it took dude 5-10 min of me asking questions before piping up about the hail...I'm working a deal on another one right now but I'm adding "140" to the model number ..hopefully
