Im also asking 2300 OBO for the Truck

Look at the car's history to see if it was treated well.

1) go to drivers.lexus.com and enter the VIN to see maintenance history done at dealerships
2) carfax or similar to see if any major accidents

Also drive the car and note anything that seems unusual.

im talking value wise. Is it a good trade i built my truck i know what im looking for when test driving a vehicle im looking for value of car vs what im asking for my truck and what is common things i should look for with these cars that usually have problems sorry im asking $2300

Donti

Donti

lower balljoints are about $70/each though so go double check.

biggest cons are air suspension and overall suspension bushing condition.

if you do labor yourself these cars arent horrible (mostly) in parts

well make sure it has air if it is "fully loaded" b/c everyone these days says they'res is fully loaded when its not, easiest way to tell is get a pic of the shifter console, should have 3 buttons to the left of the shifter instead of two
