My parents are on the waitlist for the Tesla Model 3(which they still might get to replace their Sienna if I follow through on buying a truck or SUV later on), a 2005 Lexus LS430 with just a tick below 50K crossed their eyes - it was a 1-owner trade in at a Land Rover dealer for an Evoque and the Carfax shows that it was serviced at a Big O shop and the Lexus dealer 50 miles from me. They've made an appointment to look at the car, I talked to the sales rep at the dealership.
It seems like a cream puff of a car - 2005, less than 50K on it and decently maintained. Anything I need to be aware of? I drive a 1st generation LS400, so I'm keen with the powertrain on these. Of course I'll tell my parents to nag a little, having worked at a dealership we put cheap tires and did rudimentary maintenance, I plan on replacing all the fluids, filters, a look-see of the bushings, rear CV boots, timing belt and if I see Milestar/Prime Well/Sunny/Sailun tires, a trip to Costco or America's Tire for 4 new Michelins or Continentals.
