The color looks more like graphite grey pearl or sunset mist pearl to me.

The little Lexus preformed great on my first ski trip for this year.

I’m up to 21,800 miles now…lol, this car is so comfortable and have noticed riding around in other people’s cars how rough they are. I averaged 21 mpg on a 700 mile road trip, cruising 70 mph, climbing up to 9000 ft… made it home on ¾ of a tank (350mi), not bad I say. I never got a chance to test it in the snow because there wasn’t any on the roads, maybe next year.

Taking that long trip was the best thing for that car, given that it was driven short distances most of its life.
If it were mine, I'd do one more oil change right after the trip to clean it all out. Enjoy. Great find.

thanks I was thinking of doing that, the trans filter had been changed because it was not original, and all the other fluids where really clean, I just changed everything so I would know what's up with car. I also put new michelin tires on it mtx 2 ,235/70/16 which made a huge difference in the way it handles.
