Default 2014 LS 460 CPO Deal?

Is this deal worth seriously considering? I will be putting a large amount of miles on this car, possibly 500 a week... with Lexus having fantastic reliability I cannot see my 2013 BMW 750 Li holding up nearly as well... any and all opinions welcomed!

Looks like a steal. If it's the color you want and has a clean history, I'd go for it!

I've been scouring AutoTrader for the past several weeks looking at every 2014 LS available nation-wide. I've mostly been targeting the LS460Ls and LS600hLs, but I've also considered a SWB version like the one you're looking at.

I'd say the car you asked about is a reasonably good deal--not too cheap, not too pricey. I think it's perfectly equipped for the long haul, without some of the "nice-to-have" expensive (and repair-prone) options. I've really considered similarly equipped LS460Ls -- with the automatic high beams, the ML stereo, and without the air ride suspension. If you're the kind of person who will ride it until it breaks bad, you'll have it for a LONG time.

I also really love the color combo! My favorite exterior color is the Nebula Gray, and I think the bamboo wood against the black interior is extremely striking (and somewhat rare).

This one has been on the dealer's lot for over 60 days, so I would think you might be able to squeeze the price down a bit more, but probably not too much more.

If you decide to pass on this one, please let me know, as I may be interested in chasing this one myself (but I don't want to get in the way of your potential good deal).

Firstly, welcome to Club Lexus.

Secondly, the car looks like a good deal, especially if you can get a little more off (which I bet you can if you go in there with a check for the deposit in hand )

Thirdly, just wait until CL member roadfrog reads this. He will get you out of that 750 faster than you can say "repair bills".

Thanks all! Going to pick this bad boy up this very moment (after a thorough test drive)! If I am not mistaken I should have unlimited mileage until 2020 with it being L/Certified? So excited....

Looks like a good deal!

Will hold up much better than your 7 Series.

Yes I really hope so.. All of my research points to this being a great car to eat up the highway with... The BMW will be our weekend and travel car .. (Along with the car I'll use to rip it up some! 445hp is so sexy) It just has 37k miles on it so I want to keep it as nice as possible.

GRAB IT..... BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DOES!
"IF" I was in the market for an LS I would make the trip for this one...... Looks like a good deal for a hard to find (for us northerners) RWD.

I paid $50K even for my black AWD one with 8,000 miles. But this one is prettier I have to admit. Why don't you get the Platinum VSA that covers you to 2025 probably? It's about $3500. You can't get that with other cars.
