Quick Summary: Has anyone in Denver or Albuquerque looked at this vehicle? Excellent service history, but it says "Transmission Replaced" at 70k miles over two years ago. Vehicle is offered with 74k miles
**
I've been watching this 2014 LX570 on CarMax and it has become available after being "reserved" a few times. It was recently shipped to Denver, CO from Albuquerque, NM and not purchased.
Low mileage (74k) one owner car from Texas with good service records. Up to 66k miles the service was done by Lexus dealers. After that, service was noted, but is vague on who performed the service.
There is one red flag. At 70k, it says "Transmission Serviced" and "Transmission Replaced." This was at the same time that the steering, cooling, brakes, electrical were all serviced. The records do not indicate who did this work. The vehicle was offered for sale over two years later with few additional miles.
Is there any way to tell if the transmission was actually replaced, or perhaps it was a typo and meant transmission fluid replaced (since all of the other fluids were also replaced at that time. I've poured over the records and there were no indications of transmission problems. I know they are rare, but you'd think it would start acting up gradually. I have the service records from lexus.com/my-lexus and the Experian report from CarMax.
Most importantly, did any Mud members look at this vehicle. I'd love to know. DM me if you like. I have a 2010 LX with 220k miles and am looking for an odometer reset.
