I asked the owner if there was any maintenance it needed (besides the upcomng timing belt service).
His response...
"The car is running good. Just drove it down from Iowa."

Boone, Iowa, its original home, is an easy 1-day round-trip. Probably good thing for me it's in Ft. Myers.

Not sure where you are in Nor Cal but there are plenty of good private Bay Area deals. Lots sold there originally. It's a "get the groceries" car in Silicon Valley. In Sac, it's harder to find something nice but they do show up if you're patient. Many gold/white/silver/black. It is harder to find something in Cypress, Briarwood, Flint Mica or Blue Onyx.
the seller sent me pictures of both of the bumper damages. Timing belt hasn't been done. It didn't bother me and I told him that. This car could have been long gone if he gave me the chance. But oh well.

While the LS is bulletproof, I always questions how much attention to detail and careful driving done when I car has a couple blights like this. Don't be smitten by a car is my philosophy. You do the bumpers, inspection timing belt drive or fly to get it the time involved etc. I would pass. Just me

Carfax's are compiled by the adjusters who pay out the insurance claims. The rear bumper damage is not what created the carfax if it has not been fixed or I am missing something. So there might be another accident the bumper rashs do not point to a real careful driver.

Parking lot bumper damage is often "bump-and-run" too, so if you call the Police when your car is parked in a hit n' run, it is reported. So you get dinged financially to fix it, AND the Carfax shows there was damage, but you weren't at fault. So, I wouldn't necessarily conclude from a disclosure on a CarFax alone that the car wasn't loved and taken care of.
