It spent a few years on Illinois, and then the rest in Arizona. I assume its been either in a garage or covered since you are right...the paint still shines.

Enjoying it so far, although the gas mileage prevents me from taking it out for a spin as often as I'd like. Fortunately it won't be a daily driver.

I'm a Toyota/Lexus guy and its a perfect example of the quality/reliability of Lexus/Toyota. Yes, there are faster, more luxurious, more technological, more fuel efficient, better handling cars out there...but nothing tops a quality/reliable vehicle.

I'd say you got a good deal based on the pics. Looks to be in nice shape. You won't win any fuel efficiency awards, but I'm sure you knew that before purchasing it. On the bright side, at least it doesn't "require" premium fuel like the LX..!

Congrats!

Nice pics!

I'd get rid of the K&N air filter and put a stock filter in there!
