If it has the notorious 3.0L V6, which I believe was used in the 3Gen 2006 models before being replaced by the 3.5L, the 3.0L was noted for sludge/gel/failure issues if the oil and filter weren't changed religiously. If regular oil changes can't be documented or proved, I'd avoid it.

Judging from the maint records, all maint work was performed by a certified Lexus dealership, so it seems pretty decent on that end. It doesn't show anything not done by the dealership, so I have no clue if it was done every 3000 miles.
