  1. Sounds like a good deal to me. I think as long as you have your mechanic check it out first, you should be fine. At that price, how can you lose? Even if you only drive it for a few years, I think it would be well worth it -- whether you end up selling it later or not. The problem is that almost everyone judges these cars the same way they do with other cars. They don't realize that 200K or 300K miles on a Lexus LS is nothing. These cars will go virtually forever if maintained properly. I bought my 95 LS400 a year and a half ago -- it had 153,000 miles on it. Before that, I had test-driven one with 345,000 miles on it. I told the owner that was a lot of miles -- she said the mechanic at the dealership told her she was "just getting it broken in." Then she told me her best friend had one with 450,000 miles on it. Then I drove to a nearby city to check out more of them. I went to one of the Lexus dealers there -- the salesman told me they didn't have anything in my price range. I mentioned the high mileage on the other LS's I had looked at. He basically said they would just keep on going, then pointed to an older LS out in the parking lot that one of his coworkers owned. He told me it had 635,000 miles on it. Anyway, I'm convinced that 200,000 or 300,000 miles on these cars is actually pretty low mileage.
