Thumbs up Anyone in Orange Park/Jacksonville Florida?

I have located a White/Black 2011 LX 570 in Orange Park and need some "local eyes" to vet it cosmetically before I have it PPI'd @ Jacksonville Lexus. I have had several LX 470's and am ready to step up to the next level. Unfortunately, I live in Seattle so it is pretty tough to do this myself. I am a VERY discerning enthusiast and hopeful that I can get some local help before I move on this deal 32k miles $30k, almost sounds too good to be "right". If all goes well. I will fly out and drive it home.
Thanks!

Im not in Jacksonville, but I would be very cautious that this is some kind of scam, or that the vehicle is salvaged or a flooded vehicle. Why would the someone sell that vehicle to you for $30000 when they could walk into any Lexus dealer or Carmax and get at least $5000 more.

I live in Jacksonville and will be visiting Orange Park this am. I will drop by and take a look.

Update: just looked at the Lexus of Orange Park website and they do not list this vehicle so it may be sold. I sent you a PM with my cell. Let me know if it is still where you saw it. Send me a URL.

Wink Many thanks to Greg!!

If it looks like a duck...... please consider this thread DOA. Obviously an internet troll trying to scam the public with a "too good to be true" deal. Greg sniffed it out, my deepest gratitude to him and the Club Lexus Forum.....the search goes on

I called the phone number and got no answer. After repeated calls I decided to head over to the address.

Turned out out to be a very large storage facility, the place allows businesses to be run out of them and it looked like a junk yard. It was the type place where concealed carry is a big plus.

I asked three people there if there was a Lexus LX for sale there and they either did not speak English or said they had never seen such a vehicle. It certainly would have been noticed in a dump like this. Sounds like the owners were using the vehicle as their daily driver and were not there OR were just trying to scam the buyer out of a deposit.

Did sound too good to be true.

I've found over the years that concealed carry is usually a "big plus".
