Default Found a beauty!



2010, 1 owner, clean title, interior panels and dashboard already done with 16,770 miles on it.
Lexus history and carfax all line up and can still smell the leather. Rides brand new and ML does sound better and advanced parking system?? new for me. Haven't tried it yet
The kicker was my wife reserving it, my angel, that gave me first dibs after they were finished servicing it. I was told 4 other reservations after me and also the manager came by to tell me even another dealership called in too.

My 08 had 90k when purchased, introduced me to the LS family and I'm hooked in. I had it for 6 months and it held me over until I found this beauty.
I'll need to schedule tint asap!
I'll post more shots tomorrow

Congratulations. Your car looks exactly like mine, same year too! Except mine has 18” wheels. Your 19s look really sharp.

looks great, love the color, the wheels and the 2010 look in grill prior to the update.
Best of luck with the new ride you will love it... when your comfortable tell us how much they were asking for a gem... I will take a guess, if it had 16,900 miles on it. I guess $17,500.

your tint with the silver will be key do your research it will make a huge difference what you choose.
as example 3m crystalline 40 on my red is beautiful, on your silver the brown hue would not be.... so do your research.

quick little thought, and please do not take this the wrong way. I love my 2010 in almost every capacity, including the simplicity of the interior compared to the updated one.
* I do not like the steering wheel, anyone with a known carbon fiber replacement please share with us.

I saw the vehicle on the lexus dealer website, they have a photo up that is not the car you are purchasing. they are listing it for $21,995.
I personally think that these unicorns are amazing finds and price is only important to those having a shorter term ownership and selling.

If you pay 21,995 even with the mileage, in two to three years the wholesale value will be around 15 for the car.

so just plan on owning it for a long time, or having to find a buyer that knows and appreciates what it is in years to come.

Just to give you an example for negotiation purposes I picked up my 2010 exactly configured as yours, in matador red for $16,900 year and half ago with 68k on clock.

I love your find, just wanted to give you info as your excitement is high and make sure your comfortable with the downside with the $$ in future.

enjoy the ride its a rare find, and every time I drive mine people stare and love the car with the wheels and simple elegance this year and model present
Sometimes money is irrelevant for the bliss of a Ls460 unicorn

Looks like there is a false perception of used car value from reading comments from this thread. Values on used vehicles have increased by 15% nationwide. Here is a 2012 Sport that recently sold at a dealer with 81k miles for $22,500. The car that OP bought from dealer could easily be worth $25k not $17k as someone suggests.

Not an "L" so it's a fail

The 2008 so it's essentially the same car. I would have held out for a 2013+ Low miles are nice though. You can do a lot of driving before it hits 100K.
