Yeah, they just told me they were a one price dealership and don’t negotiate. So I asked, do you know what’s going on mechanically with the truck? Salesperson responded, we just got this vehicle in on trade so we haven’t had a chance to look at it yet. I said, well if you don’t know, how can...

I'm seriously looking at a 2009 Lexus LX570 with about 108k miles in another state. (I live in the Northwest and the car is in the Southwest.) I've been looking for one with less than 120k for a while now but haven't had much luck. I had my nephew, who lives in the purchase area, go check it...
