2012 GX 460 Purchase?

[tacodan723]

I just sold my 2011 Tundra and am looking at a 2012 GX 460 with about 150K miles on it. From what I can tell it had the airbags replaced under recall and it also looks like the air pump repair kit has been installed last October. It has a very long and detailed service history with my local Lexus dealer. Some of the "issues" seem to be due to a clueless previous owner but some things might be concerning - Transmission Range Sensor? It was taken in to the dealer at least 4 times with this issue. Last report was Feb 2017 so maybe it's not an issue any longer?

Any thoughts? I need to get another vehicle ASAP and really like this one.

TIA

If the price is fair, I'd take it for a used vehicle inspection. If you are in Puget Sound, Lexus Seattle (Lynnwood) seemed reasonable - had poor experiences with Bellevue and won't return.

Good hunting - there is a growing cluster of GX 460 owners in the PNW.

I test drove it. I really like how they drive but this one was driven HARD and put away WET. It was in horrible condition and many of the electronic items didn't work. They said it was going to the auction this week. If this is the kind of vehicle that goes to auction I doubt I will ever buy one that has come from an auction!

Great information. I had not run across KSL but there are some interesting autos there. I have been focusing on the traditional - Craigslist, Autotrader, Car Gurus, Car Fax sites. I would welcome other sites to look for used GX's!!
