Default Who wants to stop by Sewell Lexus in Dallas for me?

I am requesting someone in Dallas to stop by Sewell lexus and take a look at an ES330 I am interested in purchasing. It currently has body damage, and I was hoping someone could snap some more detailed pictures and give it a quick look over. Thanks!

Cool

Why not get one of the sales guy's or the manager at the dealership to take pics & sent them to you?

What are the details on the ES 330?

The salesman has told me that he is too busy to take pics.

That's ridiculous for a salesman to say. I've got a weekend full of commitments, but I can't refuse a CL brother in need. Do you have a stock number, etc. to help me find it on the lot?

You are the Man!!!!! Its actually on Ebay, The Auction is over tomorrow at around 4pm CST. Stock# 282553a. When I last talked to Sewell, i believe he said the car is at their storage facility? not sure where that is in relation to there lot. As i said before, There is current body damage, I just want to make sure there is no damage to the Engine Cradle, LF Drive AXle, or anything not obvious in their pictures. They have already replaced the LF strut, Control arm, Inner Tie rod, ball joint.

Out of sheer curiosity . . what do you plan on doing with it? Is it worth fixing up?

Oh yes, Its definately worth fixing. As long is there is no unforeseen damage, thats why I want someone to go over it with a fine tooth comb for me.

you would have to really inspect it , i would think, to uncover those kinds of details.

secondly, i think it looks like a dune buggy. did anyone else come up with that too? haha

good luck jsm1284!

It's actually in good shape (just saw it on e-bay). Wonder if that price is flexible? No bids yet.
