What do you guys think: 2011 with 40K for 33k non certified but all work done or 2011 with 51K for 35K (haven't negotiated yet) certified? The Certified is on the other end of the country - I would have to buy it without driving it...
Both cars a sport package and loaded equally.

Can you buy a warranty for the one you've driven? If you can I'd buy it.

It is certified. I also have a hard time with that idea...

Yeah the F Sport doesn't suit the personality of the car IMHO

I was just in the market for one so I can tell you that 33K is fair but if someone shops around they'll find cheaper. It also depends on the options (adaptive cruise, air suspension) which I have learned are not so easy to find on a low mileage 10-12 LS

I would never buy a car unseen. When I was shopping for my LS, I saw a lot of CPO LS's that were in fair/poor condition at various dealerships (EG: worn seats, body repairs, stanky interior) and met the Lexus CPO certification. I had to educate one salesman at a NJ dealership on how to spot a repaint panel and when I taught him what to look for he saw two other CPO's that had repainted panels on cars that had a clean car fax.
Search for the car you want, show up in person, test drive the car, do the deal if you like it OR go home because you will find what you are looking for sooner or later.

If you could save some $, you could look hard enough to find a dealer that will sell the Lexus VSA to you for the original 2011 40k mile unit. Else check out Carchex or warrantydirect or something, check with your credit union for coverage.
