Since you have already paid for the diagnosis, ask them what the exact fault code was. Post it here and maybe we can give you some insight.

Muffler sound is no issue, pipes are cheap and so is repair. Could even be something loose like a bolt.

Timing belt shouldnt be a concern, youre buying a used car, expect it. Although a useful tool for price negotiations.


and most importantly asking price is not selling price. Cash is king. Assuming total cost of repair is 2k then I wouldnt pay more than 6k for that car
your comment about cash is king is right on, I would have $6000 in hundred dollar bills, make an offer and be prepared to walk away if the seller wants more.

The part number is: 64302-24020 Left Hand Package Tray. The cheapest I found so far online was for $450 + S/H. However, I accidentally stumbled upon a site & it was going for around $275 a few days back. Can't find it anymore.

Thank you!

Is this what you need? Offer them $310. All they can do is say no. I can tell you I have purchased a few items from TLS and all of the parts were good and they always negotiated the price. Good luck!

Here is one I saw on eBay earlier today. It's $130 . They are a scrapyard and have a 100% positive feedback.

I haven't seen the part. Just going by what the dealer told me. And I hope they're right.

Anyway, thanks for the negotiation tip. I got it for $325 & will ship out tomorrow.

Arrgh! My Lexus Support Consultant gave me wrong part number over the phone, I came to know after I ordered 64302-24020, which is actually Package Tray Limiter Switch No. 2 (Bracket Sub-Assy, PA).

It's called "Package Tray Trim Link Left Hand Motor Assembly 85730-24030: Motor Assembly, Slide RO". TLS Auto does not have it & the lowest price I've seen online is around $270.
