desihorn Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hello, I am looking at buying a 2007 Lexus RX with 27K miles on it. The pricing is not great but it's not too bad either but the carfax report shows that it has a single owner and that was a corporate lease. A google search tells me what that means and basically likens it to a rental. Does anyone have any thoughts on this ? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TA in KC Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 A close family member of mine "Larry" has driven leased company cars for the past 20+ years. Due to the large amount of driving he does, he typically gets new cars every 2 years/50,000 miles. Larry takes good care of his cars mechanically, following his company's instructions and doing all recommended maintenance to follow warranty standards. Cosmetically, I don't think he treats his company cars as well as the other vehicle he actually owns. How clean would you keep a vehicle you knew you would be getting rid of in 2 years or less? I imagine most people driving corporate lease/company cars treat theirs similar to the way Larry does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just paid at the dealer (Miami) for a 2008 with less than 5,000 miles $28K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up getting a different one from Orlando (black on black) with 24K miles for 26K. It seems like I may have overpaid by 500-1000 !! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Many Lexus and other premium vehicles are corporate lease vehicles. If it has maintenance records I wouldn't really worry about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
