pictures would help here and what you are looking to get opinions on. On this site we all like the Lexus, but if you want more than that about your specific car, then you're going to have to provide more details...

Thanks!

My primary car is a Jaguar, and for the winters, a 2014 Yukon Denali. So this is just for the sake of having it, because I wanted one when I was younger. It is in very good shape, Inside and out.
1) It's a texas car, so there are no heated seats.
2) The paint is in pretty good condition, but I wonder how to bring our the original gloss and remove some water marks.
3) The branks, (while new) rumble when slowing down from a high speed.
4) There is a check engine light on, I will post what it says after I read it.

But, I think it looks great....

She looks nice. As with any used car, check it over for missed maintenance and needed repairs. If it was serviced at Lexus you can put the VIN number in on their site and it will show up. Timing belt should have been done once at least with that many klicks on it. Yes, check the code and use the site search feature to learn more about it. I did not buy as young as Billy, but, like you, wanted one when they first came out. And now, there are a most excellent value for the discriminating buyer. Enjoy the ride.

OH, and another quick question. The extorior paint is Dark green, with that grey trim along the bottom.
I have looked far and wide trying to find some touch up paint for it.
Anyone know what it is?
Thanks~
