This one has a few miles on it... but looks to be well maintained.. Im gonna be buying this one for my girl... My question is, the seller is telling me it has a newer lower mileage motor in it.. Is there any way for me to tell this? I mean it all looks factory to me.. Just wanna make sure he is not blowing smoke up my ***.. thanks in advance

 

check the vin number off the "newer" motor since its differ from the one on the car itself and see whatsup!!

 

Thanks for the quick response.. I have never had to look for a vin.. where is it located?

 

y dont you just give her your GS3 ....

 

Ha!.. Man, im probably just gonna keep mine and get the g35 in febuary.. this one im lookin at is a pehnominal price .. just never dealt with a car with a swapped motor before.

 

Help please.

 

I don't know where the VIN is but for a reasonable fee I'm sure a Lexus dealer could look over the car for you before you buy. Also check carfax and ask for any receipts for the work done to the car.
I'd rather spend $100 to find out I don't want to buy a car than suffer through buyer remorse after buying problems.

isn't it always on the front windshield bottom right corner? i've always thought it would be there.. if youre looking from the outside on the driver's side.. it's not on the glass but on a plate.. or.. open your driver's door.. at the bottom right.. black tag.. and the driver's door itself.. bottom left... just look at your registration papers.. shouldn't be on there? these are all places that i've found mine..

He's looking for the VIN on the motor, not the chassis.
