Hi All,
Medium-time lurker here and consumer of the collective wisdom shared here. I'm in the hunt for my first LC. There's a 2008 with around 100K miles that *looks* to be in great shape for around $30k. Through used car dealer, one prior owner. There aren't too many 200's going around for less than $40k, so this looks enticing.
Concern: There is only ONE service record for it on the Toyota site. Carfax shows 3: I think one is the pre-delivery detailing. I know from reading lots here that good service records are highly desirable, so you know it has been maintained well, so this gives me pause.
Question: is there a reasonable explanation for this? Giant red flag? Dealer had no intel. I've stayed away due to this, but I guess I'm secretly hoping the answer is " nah, that happens all the time, no big deal, go buy it." But I suppose if I have to ask the question, I already know the answer...
Anxiously waiting to "officially" join the IH8MUD club,
Sean
