Its on cars.com for 14k in Denver. I dont know if thats a good deal but what I'm impressed with is the lack of problems with this mileage.

Very impressive indeed. If I'm reading this right it looks like the only thing he had fixed was the blower motor, which is incredible. I honestly have never seen a car with that many miles, with so few issues. Pretty cool.

What's even more impressive is that both owners had all the work done at Lexus dealers. What must that have cost!

Impressive. What I find the most impressive is that all the work/maintenance shows up in Carfax. Typically there's a few discrepancies.

Dealer maintenance isn't all that expensive. It's the repairs that get quite expensive. And the fact that this car hasn't really had any issues for that mileage.. It was probably worth it to have it serviced at the dealer.

That and the blower motor..very, very commendable for a vehicle. I also took notice that there was no mention of control arms and no mention of oil consumption nor transmission fluid drain/flush, unless I missed it.
There's really no others words for this car. People can say what they want, but when observing the overall scope of the LS and how it holds up, its arguably not only the best made vehicle, but "luxury" vehicle on the road, period.

You forgot to mention rocker and valve spring attention. Further, these services are concerning: Fuel line/hose replaced; Transmission fluid/oil leak checked
If someone told me the OEM Toyo brakes lasted 165k on a car with an automatic I would help them to the door. The car was not exclusively serviced at the dealer.
Carfax is pretty good, but I would have to see this car. If I'm buying this car I'm going to zero-in on control arm bushings/brake system.
With a Carfax you have to look at what's there and what's not there.

Ok here's my take. All there is here is are the struts, coil springs and climate fan as stated. The recalls don't count. There are a very few owners that feel they need to do their service intervals at the dealer. They let their tire shops do the brakes etc and possibly other repairs. Who knows but it looks like they let the dealer do some tire work. Someone put brakes on this car and it could have been the dealer and it didn't get to the carfax. Anyway I'm still impressed regardless. I've seen American cars and Asian cars this good but never a car from any other country. All junk. I had an Explorer for 78,000 miles that had not one repair other than maintenance. In 26 years as a Volvo mechanic I never saw one that came even close, lucky for my income. The Audi mechanics at my co branded dealer made a killing. They constantly said Audi's were the biggest piece of crap sold. We also sold Mazdas and those mechanics were poor.

I have 136,000 miles on my LS right now, at the same mileage point my Honda Accord needed...EVAP canister, evap vent solenoid, tie rods, brake calipers, front engine mount, rear engine mount, gas tank and I had already went through my first timing belt service. And the Accords are great cars. With my LS I have replaced some control arms and a wheel bearing. Amazing.

And the car was driven an additional 75,000 miles without a single record of transmission problems. I'd say it's a pretty solid car that was maintained very well. I too would look at those control arms if I was going to buy this car they probably need replacement.
