I would do all the usual visual checks on it e.g.:bodywork,wheels and interior.

You'll no doubt have a warranty with it.

As above, visual checks only should be sufficient. Dealer should take car of a proper PDI (Pre-delivery inspection) and if they do their job properly should have fixed anything that they found didn't work.

One of the car magazines - What Car I think - has a checklist for when buying a car. Might be worth printing this off and using as a checklist when you collect if you really feel you want to do some checks yourself.

Also, worth asking to see a copy of the PDI or other inspection that they have done. Ask what work has been carried out on the car before re-sale (to you). Ask if there are any faults with the car.

Ask to have a copy of the service print-out which will list all servicing work carried out on the car since new (assuming full Lexus service history) and any remedial work and any work done under any official recalls.

But. You're buying from a Lexus dealership. Should be fine. Assume you will have an approved used warranty anyway so you are covered. Worth asking to see a copy of the checks they have done before delivery to you though.

The Lexus approved used website lists the benefits of buying an approved used car. I'd be a little wary of buying a Lexus from a Lexus dealership that wasn't in the approved used scheme. Hopefully this doesn't apply in this case. Personally speaking I've never had a problem buying an approved used Lexus on the three occasions I've done so.

The one area where dealerships and garages are crap in my experience is setting the correct tyre pressures. I've always checked and set them correctly under the right conditions once I've got the car home.
