Default My first Lexus

Hey there everyone, just joined and am really happy with my first Lexus purchase. A 2007 ES 350 with one owner i knew and only 38,000 miles on it. I got it friday and have been all over it cleaning the headlights with a 3M kit (worked great). Buying oil and filters changing out the air filters….Wifes getting on me about spending money. Can't help it i love this car !!!

Extremely low mileage for a 14 year old car! I'd splurge on a full inspection to see if anything rubber rotted away or was eaten by rodents during the years of light use. Probably change all fluids as well, including transmission fluid checkup and possible change

ALso make sure the VVTi oil line TSB was addressed as this could be catastrophic. If you hear a "rattle" on start up that lasts a split second take it in immediate to work on this oil line.
