2013 UL 460L $29k @ 70k miles - too good to be true ?
I've been checking out this UL 460 in Houston for the past week (I'm in Austin so wasn't able to drive it yet).
And it looks like that my base 2014 l/certified 460 deal is going to fall through - so I'm at it again
https://www.autos-mobiles.net/used-c...exus/ls/p3630/
don't know what to think of it, short of the executive package it's loaded - including adaptive air suspension unfortunetely
service records show it has been in Houston the whole time - and it drove off the lot in December of 2013, otherwise nothing exciting in there beyond a dead battery.
dealer is quoting me $2100 for 4 year / 48000 mi warranty package - that's the only way I would purchase a car with air suspension, but even then
somebody please talk me out of a 5h round-trip please
oh - and the dealer looks somewhat super shady

So so if I end up getting extended warranty, how does it work? (obviously never did that before). Do I take it to Lexus service dept? Is that a per approval basis ?

MMR on that car, adjusted for mileage, region, color, and a value-neutral CR is $25,300. Expected retail is $30,800. Jasoneo5 is absolutely correct. Values on these cars are dropping rapidly, and once that car crosses the 75k mile threshold the drop-off gets steep. That extra 6k miles drops it $1k in value and it doesn't get better. Ideally, you'd want to be no higher than $26,800 in that car max.

I guess i am I am asking if he knows any specific reason why they are tanking as if that’s the case I will make my jump to an LX570 sooner.

Pull a cars.com search. You can get a 13+ in the low 100k mileage region for $20k after basic negotiation. If you're dead set on 2013+, I'd offer $25k and settle for $26k. Personally, I'd get a 2011 for $15k - the 2013+ grill is a bit juvenile for my taste - very IS300 taillight-esque

Uhhhhh, are you sure that car doesn't have the executive package? Make note of the "rear recline" button on the center console and the memory settings on each of the rear doors. I'm a 2010 owner though so maybe those don't mean what I think they do?
