does this look like suspicious service history? https://reports.carproof.com/main?id=9SBy+mnE3BFgmsttdK3p44cmqks+Pt1w
why would a car be taken in for service so frequently? i'm guessing failing electronics/sensors ?

Car went 15 k with no service

Red flag


There were only 2 instances of back 2 back service though which is probably just because the elderly woman who owned it heard a funny noise a few days after service. The random ft Myers service is probably a blown out tire, really bad stretch of road and construction right by there

Lol I was saying it went 15,000 with no service. But that is km and I dont lnow the conversion, generally you want an oil change every 3000 miles to 5000 miles depending on the car and oil you use

15k km is like just under 10k miles

If it's full synthetic, should have absolutely no problems.

On a 2016 lexus.... pretty sure you can go a full year 12k+miles without an oil change. I change the oil once a year on my BMW and do pretty much that..

Why has it been serviced so many times in the last couple months?

Looks like previous owner went a couple times to fix problems and said fuck it and sold it back? this is very recent, should just ask the dealership why the car was called in
