Welcome to Club Lexus.

I would plug all the particulars of the car into a couple sites like Edmunds, KBB and NADA and see what values you get there. The price seems reasonable, but ALWAYS make a lower offer.

Since the car is not a 460L, you do not have air suspension, so no worries there. You can enter the car's VIN on the Lexus website and check the service records of the car at Lexus dealerships. The 2007 model had 3 recalls, make sure they were all done..

 

Troublesome area are the upper and lover control arms. My 2007 an 2010 have had them replaced. $4,000 from dealer, $1,000 aftermarket.

 

Hi Rich,

Just three months ago I bought a 2007 460 also Mercury with 104,000 miles. Perfect condition, dealer maintained every 5000 miles from new, I absolutely love it.

I bought it from an 80 year old guy I know from Starbucks, i paid $11,000 and immediately put new front rotors, pads, and four new tires on it for another $1000.

So my true cost was $12,000, which I felt was a good price. If you really want it offer the dealer $12.500 and see what he comes back with, it is such a horrible game back and forth.

 

Welcome. Depending on your location you may not need AWD. I personally don't and wouldn't want it on my car. If you're way up north, maybe so. Good luck.

 

 

Mine is Mercury Mettalic with those Telios Wheels. MSRP was 72K back in 07. They are replacing rear shocks, which were leaking.

Bought from a Lexus dealer and they don’t dicker on price.

93000 Miles. 15,400.

I am going to like it

Rich

 

Congrats on the new car and I wish you good luck with it.

Please post some pics once you pick it up.

 

 

 

congratulations Rich!

with quite low miles and the dealer putting on new shocks I feel you did well sir

I am sure you will love your new car as much as I love my 07 which I have had for only three months now

 

Congrats on vehicle. I know prices vary by area, but I think your price is in line. When I bought my 07 (70k mi) from an 85 yr old client, the dealer told her that they could sell it for 16k, but offered her 12,500, which is what she offered it to me for (I gave her 13k to help some on her lost sales tax benefit).

If the dealer hasn't or won't give you a build sheet, when you register at the Lexus owner site you can email them your vin and request a build sheet, which they will promptly send.

Also, if you like the XM radio, sign up for the trial, and at the end they should send you a letter with an offer of $99 for three years. I tried to get this when my wife's subscription for her ES renewed but was told they only do this for older cars (ended up with one year for $99).

Enjoy!

Congrats on the new ride. You are going to love it. Where in Nebraska do you live? We grew up in Geneva.
