That is a very good price with Navi/Backup camera. Enzoy..I wish I can find something similar here in Texas

Check to see if the timing belt and water pump service has been done if you are looking at units with over 100,000 miles.
New spark plugs are specified at 120,000 miles and its no small job to do the rear bank.

Good point. The 90,000 mile service with a water pump is $1150, if you want the spark plugs done that's $450 at the dealership.

We went to check it out the other day and it was in nearly mint condition so she bought it and brought it home today. It seems 99% of the way there but is missing a few of the smaller, typical things which I'd like to replace for her as a christmas gift bundle -
  • It only came with one key fob which has a cheap replacement non-Lexus logo backing. I'd like to get a new backing for the first key as well as a second regular key, although I've heard these are really expensive in which case perhaps just a valet key.
  • It didn't come with any manuals. I see complete sets including the nav supplement and tutorial disc on ebay for under $30 so that should be easy.
  • Winter mats are a necessity in this area. Fitted weathertechs for the front row look to run about $100, is there a cheaper fitted option available?
Thanks for any feedback!

As for fitted floor mats, I've had my eye on these. I'm not sure how good they are, but the price is pretty good. The seller has a few different colors/styles to choose from.

Lexus will send you free manuals if you go to their website, at least they used to. As for the key, if it has the remote you can get another off eBay, I paid $30 for one, and the dealer can program it to the car which cost me another $35

I'm still looking for one of those $35.00 dealers. Mine charges $95. My butt still hurts.
