Well I thought I would go 300,000 on my 04, but at 160K I threw in the towel when a one owner 30,000 mile blizzard pearl with gray interior came on the market, serviced and detailed every 3000 miles by Lexus. The owner even got talked into TB cleaning and fuel injector cleaning, all new filters, brake flush. I took only 7K for mine but this was too good to pass up. I should be good for the next 10 years at least.

congrats man. I felt similar with my 4runner that had 260k on it when the Black 09 with 27k came available last year. Too good a deal to let go.

Oh good, I don't feel so bad now, I was having buyers remorse on the way to pick it up. Plus, the first owner was a smoker, I spent all last night cleaning the interior, seats, vacuum everything, headliners, new mats, sprayed HVAC system. Almost back to that leather smell.

Nice find! Now you'll have some modding to do to keep you busy a while. Congrats!

Spent all day cleaning it, bought it from a wholesaler so the deal was as is. Had to fix center cup holder today. Previous owner must have spilled a big gulp down there, gummed up e works, put cord on glove box, replaced a few push pins on the engine Tupperware, took my chrome exhaust extension off my old truck, cleaned it up and installed. Just spending time getting the smell of smoke out. Clean clean clean and let it sit with windows open. Making progress.
