Default Considering L/Certified - Service at any Lexus Dealer?

I'm considering an L/Certified RX350. I drove 2 at my local Lexus dealer. One is a 2013 with about 48K miles and it has been on the lot since September. The Carfax doesn't show all maintenance, so maybe that's why it has not sold. I realize that there could be many reasons for maintenance not showing up on Carfax, but it does make me a little suspicious. The other 2013 other is about 2K more and has about 36K miles. The sales person says they won't mark the L/Certified models down, but I suspect they always say that. Just to compare, I looked online at a dealer about 70 miles away and their prices are a bit lower. So my question is, if I bought an L/Certified Lexus from an out of town dealer, can I have my vehicle serviced at the local Lexus Dealer? I'm guessing that I can have an L/Certified serviced at any Lexus dealer.

Congrats for deciding to buy a Lexus.

Couple of things to know:

1. Certified, that is always good, more expensive but good.
2. Prices can always be negotiated.
3. There is a 50K mile and 4 year Lexus Warranty. Buy the one which is still under warranty.
4. Do your research on warranty items on the car you bought and take them to the dealer for repairs.
5. If you buy a car within the Original warranty period, you may be entitled to an extended Lexus Warranty, get it.

Good luck.

Never mind! I found out the answer to this question by checking with Lexus online. They have an online chat and provided me with great information.
