Not a LWB either.

I saw that you need an '08, but the interior on this one is pretty beat up anyway.

You're right. I'm still digging. How long does it take to find the right one? Two months, six months?
I created searches with email updates in CarGurus.com and Autotrader.com, and used https://www.autotempest.com/ to search as well - this one will check craigslist, etc, and you might find some cars you didn't know about. I also kept an eye on the inventory at Lexus dealers within 100 miles of me. The dealer where I bought my car sometimes has cars on their site for weeks before they put them on Autotrader, or they just sell them so quickly that they never make it to the online ads. My car was listed (no pics) on a Saturday, and I bought it the following Wednesday. They tend to keep older cars in good shape and sell them on their lot. They've had some nice LS 460s, 430s, and even some older GS cars that looked good. |
Dude, the clone of your old one, with only 70K miles, is pretty much it!
Any reason you'd pass? It's becoming more and more unusual to see them with sub-80K miles on 'em. Not that this is a lot, mechanically, but interior wear/aging and all... |

His bank won't finance an 07, needs to be an 08 or newer.

Of course the dealerships will finance it but, my bank rate can't be beat. I'll find one. I might have to settle for a Mitsubishi Mirage instead. Can't be much difference.

Doh!
I would have sworn that said it was a 2008, but nope, it doesn't. Yesterday was a very long day. Today and tomorrow will be similar. I'll triple check what I think I see. |

I'm here in Ft. Worth and, I'm tempted to my initial plan and go down to Main Street and enjoy home. Fwhomeboy= Fort Worth Homeboy. I love me some Fort Worth. Decisions

My plan was to go see two cars today but, that's not gonna happen. Parents got stuff that needs to be done and of course, I gotta do it. Boy, I tell you, this car hunt ain't for the weak!!! Thanks guys for all the help and input. It's really helping me out, seriously. Props to this Forum.

Have you looked at Carmax? Here are a number of L's, 2008 or newer.

Be Patient and don't settle! |
Dude, I understand all too well.
My wife and I have traveled three different times for three very specific vehicles. First was the 1999 Fleetwood diesel motorcoach, that was a couple of hundred, each direction. Next was her RX300, went to Lake Tahoe from Portland, OR, but it was exactly what she'd have spec'd. Third was the 5.9L 1998 Grand Cherokee we have as the tow/third car. Drove to Missouri from Fort Worth for that one...drove it home on the original plugs with 163K miles on 'em. The gap was 0.10". I still can't believe it ran, honestly. |
