I didn't think it looks to beat up? The bumpers need to be repainted, but this is typical of cars in NY/NJ from parallel parking and tight lots. I didn't notice any damage to the actual body, I would ask for more pics of the supposed beautiful interior before you make the trip out to look at it.

Oh and 115k all 'highway miles'... Gotta love it, every used car I ever see for sale has only been driven exclusively on the highway, and they usually had top dollar synthetic oil changes every 500 miles too!

Doesn't look too bad, if I was closer, I would check it out for you but it's over an hour North of me.

I wouldn't complain much for what he is asking. After all it is a gs430. Heck, back when I bought mine This would have been around 25k with a few less miles. That was back in 07 though

I think it looks pretty good, I wouldnt give them more then 7k... but its an easy fix, front and rear bumper... I would see if they will split the Lexus Inspection fees and have it checked out.

Look at the gap between the hood and bumper between both lights, also check the front bumper, the paint luster is noticeably different than the rest of the car. Obviously it will never perfectly match, because of the 2 different surfaces, but there is a huge varience there.

i saw this back in early Nov, when i was looking for one too. I would carfax the car if you're planning to make a trip out to see it in person if you're some distance away.

The driver side door doesn't look smooth on the bottom corner, maybe my eyes?? f & r bumpers ... 2 center caps r missing (minor things)... But most of all is maintenance.
