Default 2009 LS 460 AWD Opinions?

Since you all don't seem to mind chatting about cars people are looking at. What do you think of this?

2009 LS AWD 106,000 miles. Truffled Micah/Black Interior. Nav, ML and Comfort Package.

Full service history from local Lexus Dealer, Including air suspension replacement at 36,000, new tires and brakes at 90k along with the 90K full service.

Couple questions:
The air suspension was replaced under a TSB in 2012. Does that mean it has better components? or am I looking at another repair or switch to coil-overs soon?

Asking price is $17,000. Seems pretty fair, but there may be a few $$ more I can negotiate.

Thanks in advance for the replies.

I think that is a pretty fair price; the fact that it has a comprehensive service history is a very big plus. NADA (which is what dealerships, banks and credit unions use) put it at a retail value of $19xxx....I'd aim at $15,500 and go from there?
