Update:
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to share a quick update. While doing some research online, I came across a blog that suggested a few things to get when buying a car in the US:
1. Window sticker
2. Vehicle history
3. Service history
I managed to get all of them.
For the window sticker, searching for "Lexus window sticker by VIN" helped me find a very detailed one. For the vehicle history, Carfax was about $40, but I found a Carfax alternative for just $15, and I think it was the right choice.
I was also able to verify the vehicle's service history with the same tool.
To my surprise, I discovered that the car had been at an auction, repainted, and upgraded after a major accident. Just sharing this experience here in case it helps anyone.
Thanks!
Hello fellow car enthusiasts! I'm currently in the process of procuring a used 2015 Lexus GS 350 F Sport through an online platform. My main goal is to make a well-informed decision, and I'm turning to you for your invaluable expertise to help me navigate through crucial checks before finalizing the purchase.
One of the challenges I'm facing is that the transaction involves purchasing from a different state, which makes it impractical for me to conduct a personal inspection of the vehicle. Furthermore, I'm not familiar with the dealer, and as of now, there are no reviews available to gauge their service quality.
While I've been engaging in discussions with the dealer and gradually establishing trust, I'm being cautious not to make any assumptions and would greatly appreciate a second opinion regarding this purchase.
I kindly seek your suggestions and advice. If you require more details to better assist me, I'm more than willing to provide them.
I've included few images of the car below for your reference. I also possess several other photos depicting the vehicle from various angles. The dealer has reassured me that the car is in good working condition, devoid of any accident history, and runs smoothly.
Your input would be of immense value in bolstering my confidence as I move forward. I eagerly anticipate your insights and recommendations. Thank you sincerely for dedicating your time and extending your assistance!
