Hello forum members and nice to be here!

Looking at possibly purchasing a 2013 TL with just under 100k , 8/10 both inside and out, new timing belt, a fender bender no real issue accident and otherwise seemingly clean for $7.5k. Private seller, the guy just bought a new car and I believe him when he says that’s the only reason he’s selling. I’ve been in his shoes. Obnoxiously low trade in offer from a lexus dealer.

What does anyone think.

thank you one and all!

Sounds good depending on.... SH-AWD or FWD? Also trim level.... base, tech or advance?

It’s FWD and has the Tech pkg.

I live in the south and have zero need for AWD.

Sounds like a good deal. If it truly had only a bender fender then go for it.

I wouldn't let go off my clean 2013 FWD Tech with 90K miles for anything less than 10k.

I've seen cars advertised as having only "fender benders" that, when you check the actual accident history, was like $29k in damage.

I have a 2013 Tech and that seems like a good price. If its a one owner car provided they have the service records is a huge plus. I'd find out when the timing belt was done and who did it. A reputable shop or dealer will warranty their work. Having a mechanic check it out is also a good idea. I have 112,000 on mine and I'm very happy with it. Good luck !
