Looking to buy my first S80 - Good deal?
So a Lexus dealer near me has a 2004 S80 2.5T AWD with 18k original miles
MINT condition. Evidently the car was used by a repeat customer's wife, for putting around town and doing errands. The car was traded in for a new lexus RX SUV. Looking to pick this up due to the mileage...Anything I should be weary about? They are asking 14k for it. I was thinking that pretty high even for the mileage... Thoughts?

Well, NADA said $11,200 is top retail with the low miles. That would be my top offer. I'm not a fan of low mileage cars, mainly because you don't have enough service history.
You can always pull the oil drain plug and inspect for sludge. But if you find the same car with 60,000 miles on it you can likely get it for about $8,000 or less and it should be just as nice. Your call, nice car.
