Default HELP 300h used car buyer

Hi, I am about to go and have a look at one 300h, never owned or drove a Lexus before.
What should I look for when observing, test driving the car????

Seller mentioned new paint job for the rear bumper and rear right side, because of the "parking accident", well it is a good price so it does not worry me if it was only scratched...

It is :
IS300h, executive
2013
75000km on the clock
1 owner

THANKS !!!!!!!!

Make sure the paint matches.. When certain parts are damaged the easy route is to paint the part, a good automotive paint shop will usually blend the new paint in with the old.

Everything you would normally check when buying a car.. make sure no shakes or wobbles when driving.. steering wheel straight, car not pulling to one side or the other, brakes feel good and not pulsating or shaking.
