After being in the car biz long ago I buy only new/ used cars. Ultra low miles. Like that one. 50k miles is worth a lot to me.

My 08 with 54k on it had sticky parts and a worn steering wheel and sliding console cover and wrinkled leather front seat bottom cushions and a squashed drivers seat bottom foam and a incorrect non oem windshield with pits.

plus needs control arms replaced.

If those parts on the 2010 are perfect it sure would save a lot of time and money

Lexus fixed the interior. Driver and passenger leather is aftermarket. New seat foam is oem. Swapped steering wheel for a non worn one.

windshield by AAA deductible.

He got the oats before it went through the horse. Much harder to restore the oats.

he got what the new owner experienced which is what I want to have.

worth every penny if the car is a true 9 or 10 IMO.

Thanks guys, it's incredibly in mint condition.
Drove it around today and did a wot getting on the highway, no stress.
I didn't want to put the time and effort into fixing my 08. From gears hitting, bushings, motor mounts, 2 new batteries in 2 months, suspension was shot, a couple more, all fixable and run another 100k.
Jack Nicholson, "think white and get serious....I'm not doing it!!" (As good as it gets)
.

And then I saw this beauty and thought I need to get rid of mine and get that right now. I took $9k from Carmax and bought this for$22k
Thought this was priced cheaper than market, I even saw 2012 asking $30k pffff crazy

Hi

Congrats on the new purchase. I really like the grey interior and the grey wood. You did find a unicorn out there.

Hope you have many smiles and miles!

Congratulations!

Nice car and color combo. That sounds like a good price for miles and current market.

The important thing is that it sounds like you are really happy with the LS that you own now. Hope you enjoy many more miles and smiles!

Very nice buy. It looks like the factory protective wrap is still on the door scuff plates? My 08' still has them.
Can you take some close up detail shots of the wood on the steering wheel? Just asking because I notice you have Bird's Eye Maple and I was wondering what the steering wheel trim looks like since I've never really seen a close up picture of one.
