Default 09 es350 $20,995 advise

Hi All,
Found this ES350 at one of my local dealer the car only have 29,982 miles with Nav, start button, park assistance etc..
Due to the age this car just about to expire power train warranty (6 years/70,000 miles) is there something I should worry based on the age ? I know it's low mileage but likes everybody said parts do wear out and deteriorate.
The only thing I disliked is the factory navigation that incorporate with other functions likes control AC.. if this thing go bad very expensive to fix.
Again thank you so much in advance and any input is greatly appreciated.

Well, you can always get an extended warranty if you feel paranoid about things like the navigation or powertrain failing.
My only word of caution would be to check the AC drain, check the tire age, and verify nothing is dry-rotting. Those AC evap drains can get clogged if they're infrequently used and since the drain water will follow the path of least resistance, it can end up in the cabin.

Though the mileage is nice I would still pass. Many of the ES's can be had in the mid/upper 10's these days.
If you get an average car (not crashed, maintenance done) the chances of things going wrong or breaking are small. Maybe things like window motors/coming off track or a water pump.
The ES is a pretty good car. Id save your money and just get a higher mileage.
Anyways, most people go by mileage instead of time on oil changes/maintenance on low mile cars. Things like tires are dry rotted, brake fluid has never been changed etc.
