Thanks for the reply, I am in the same boat as you, lost a couple trying to squeeze the best deal instead of knowing I had a good deal. They are both dealers. Thanks, we look forward to meeting some of you out on the trails. Too bad I am in Texas and there isn't much overlanding here.

Texas Is a huge state. Gotta be some good stuff out west. Near Marfa.
 
I ran into a 2011 LX with luxury package and 85k miles (clean car asking 34k) and 2013 LX base with 100k miles asking 35k (damage being reported).

Do I need to worry about Carfax reports stating that "Damage reported" but no accident reported? Dealer calls clean Carfax report with no accidents. Should I avoid any such cars? Lot of cars out there seem to be with front or rear damage reported but with no accidents being reported. PPI is one thing but should I avoid them altogether? Anyone had experience buying such vehicles?

Thanks

The local group meets once a month. I hit Big Bend a few times a year. Good luck on your search. I am "kinda" looking for a 200 but do not want to sell the one I have now :)

Great, we went to Big Bend a couple of years ago and said when we get our land cruiser we would head back.

I found a black and tan with 75K mi on it, otd price is 38.8K. I hope to pick it up on Sat.

Only sticking point is they are charging me $250 for etching vin on parts of the car and $500 for permplate, which I guess is a treatment for inside the car. I said I am not paying to protect leather on a 6 year old vehicle that is going to be used for overlanding! That is nuts. he is talking to his manager, might have to comprise but we will see.

When you say out the door - including taxes, doc, title fee's etc? If so it is surely is a steal. Best wishes
 
Should I pay for Dealer Retail price for the LX from a private seller? There was an accident on Carfax noted 10 yearsback and the seller brushes it off as Windshield being replaced . Service history is not there much in Carfax and the seller claims that he had it done at small no name shops but he assures me that everything was taken care. I am planning to get PPI done before proceeding. Is going to Lexus dealership a good idea or an independent mechanic is better? I am paying top dollar for a 10 year old 120k LX, and with an aggressive seller .. any advice?

I would not pay for retail price with accident record.

Unless yourself or friend know the independent mechanics, I would prefer Lexus dealership.

If you are not comfortable with the purchase, I would suggest you wait and look for another one. Patient is the key. Good luck 🍀

Seller sounds like an a$$hole. Move on. These are not rare.
 
Bought a new 2019 blue/terra without rear entertainment for 79k. I am loving it!
