Yours is practically new, but keep an eye on it. There is no time table for failure though. Always inspect it according to service interval or sooner... it's in the manual or service sheet where it list things to check according to mileage milestone.

Get the receipts from her then. If she is losing her memory and doesn't know where she put it, you can obtain them from the lexus dealer.

I don't think so. He said the seller is 90 y.o. so I bet she put them on there

MINT. Perfect example of a textbook "barn find". Quite a surprise, however, i expect this to become somewhat more common as they become a decade old....

skiz, sorry bro i disagree completely. not to steal thread, just to offer counter points. double the mileage, probably halogen headlamps, -2 cylinders, and the owner of yours probably beat it a bit more than grandma, l tuned. sorry.

I believe your car has the dangerous double snipe defect. Best to sell it

I can take it off your hands for 10k
