Sounds like a good deal for the following reasons:

1. He has taken care of his car, oils changes, ball joints changed , tie rods.
probably waxed and polished nice, garaged etc. 9 out of 10people don't really take care of their cars or appreciate them like us CL members.

2. If he had the timing belt and water punp changed at the 90-100K point, you should look into seriousy buying this car. This will save you $850-$900 and it will go for another 90K miles.

3. High Miles don't bother me a much since now a days everybody drives far for work and visiting family ect.

good luck.

I agree with you on 1 and 3, but I do not believe the timing belt service has been done. I just looked up the service history at lexus and it is not on there nor does it have the sticker on the timing cover. In the for sale ad it states that he had it checked out and it looked new, but ive gone through several threads where people get their belts done and they look brand new as well.

Is $850-$900 with parts and labor? or just parts?

The whole service is usually around $1k.
Or just drop me a PM when you pick it up and my guy will do it for much less.
