I am considering buying 2012 LS460 from used car dealer.
Car is advertised on web, with 75,000 miles, one corporate owner.
Web photo shows local Lexus dealer's sticker on rear panel -
(like: WYZ Lexus in Hometown USA)


Any suggestions on how to get complete maintenance history,
from Lexus dealer, by vin #?
Carfax shows routine maintenance at Lexus dealer, pictures show
car fairly clean, price is ok. Slow to sell.

Thanks, Paul

 

Create an account on the Lexus owners web site. Then you can add any car to your garage and see the service records for any work done at a dealership.

 

Agree with creating an account on the Lexus Drivers site and enter the vin. I find that carfax generally reports the same maintenance. But it doesn’t hurt to cross reference.

 

Many thanks to rogersmj, RZ, & FunFact for your responses.

For all interested Forum members, this is what I did:

FYI - 1) created account at: drivers.lexus.com,
2) inserted car's VIN, & obtained added valuable Service History -
which amplified Carfax info. (By chance, also got prior
owner's name, address, etc.)

Car unfortunately was just sold. But, your inputs were a great help for the future!

When ever I am looking at a used Lexus the very first think I do is get the Vin and go to Lexus Driver and plug it in. That will save a lot of time and effort on looking at a car that I really would not be interested in due to service history.

Same here. When I was looking for my car, I would add the vin to each car of interest on the Lexus Owners Site. Then I'd whittle them down and remove them from my page. When I finally bought my car, I removed all the rest and now I just have my current car listed.
