Hello all so basically I'm looking at getting an LS 460 Crafted line it is located in North Carolina so it would be an out of state purchase. Trying to find out what I should look for the car is a 15 and has 10K miles on the odo they have CPO'd it but I do know it has an accident on it which states minor damage. Let me know what I should be looking for and what to check when it comes to signing and getting the car. Thanks in advance.

 

Depending on the type of accident it was in and the quality of repair, their shouldn't be too much you need to look in per se. I'd definitely recommend you get a PPI (Private Party Inspection) which will run you a couple hundred dollars but they're usually very thorough depending on who you pick. This would give you all the information you need and then some.

 

I would suggest driving it at night or somewhere dark to test the ambient lighting. Some of the interior ambient lighting is not working on our newly purchased '13 that the seller previously bought as CPO. I missed it, my mechanic missed it on the PPI, and I wonder if Lexus CPO missed it too. The seller wasn't familiar with the feature and so didn't know the ambient lighting above the glove box was supposed to work. It's not a huge deal but you'd want everything working on a CPO vehicle. Good luck and hope it's exactly what you're searching for.

Edit: This is what I'm referring to (thanks to jrmckinley for pointing it out):

 

Ok, thanks will look into that.

Thanks will def make sure of that is it only over the glove box its not like the GS correct on the doors.

 

The LS ambient lighting appears on the door handles, foot wells, and to the left of the steering wheel and above the glove box:

 

Ok thank you.
