Default Is this car a clublex members car/anyone recognize this car!!

Found an 06 430 for sale at a dealership in Hollywood fl and wanted to know if this may have been a clublexus.com members car/someone here may recognize the car/know the owner so I can get some history and specifics on the car. I live about 4 hours from this car and just wanted to verify the Cars condition and any issues or problems it may have but haven't been able to make the trip to see the car in person. Already asked another clublex member if he could check it out but he has been busy w work and life and hasn't had the chance. Any and all info regarding this car would be greatly apprecaited.

What are they asking for it? I saw this one pop up close by to me if your interested in a 460. Personally I would want a stock one as who knows how it's been worked on.

Ibidu1....shady car dealers and people are all over including Orlando and Tampa lol. On a serious note, this is why I'm asking here to see if maybe someone knows the owner/builder of this car or the owner himself can speak on it. If anyone is willing to check out this car for me please let me know.

Personally I try to avoid car dealerships in areas that need a chain link fence haha. Did you try searching any records on the Lexus website? Won't give an idea into who modified the car, but might help seeing if it was serviced or not.

50% off the "clean title" cars from "buy owners" that are from Miami and Los Angeles are usually salvaged title

Look at the first picture, you can see the ground through the grille. Most likely the internal plastic inside the bumper are missing. I bet this car is a rebuilt title car that was slapped together

While it could be, thats a bit of a jump. Mine was missing for months and it was because it got ripped off by something in the highway.
