Setup an account on the Lexus Drivers and input your VIN. It will show any service done at a dealer. It's very interesting and helpful info.

^ I'd say it was a great deal. Around here used cars in that price range are in very high demand. Almost everything is neglected, wrecked junk at that price. I assume this is a Washington state car its whole life, so the underbody is super clean with no rust at all, correct??

I think the seller has just forgotten to remove the ad. He can't sell it again without a title and a car.

I can't wait to start driving it but I won't until the timing belt gets changed. It would be just my luck that it breaks with me driving it right before I get it in to be fixed,

The Carfax said the car started in California and then moved to Washington. I didn't check the underside.

Good idea on the Lexus website to set up the car to see service history, Who knows, maybe the timing belt was done. Per Carfax though, it hadn't.

Thanks.

before you dump money on that tbelt job, check that lexus web site, it may have been done!

Hello again, what is more likely to cause a clunk when going over harsh spots in road? A worn strut or bad bushing in a strut rod.

Meanwhile $2700 later.....new timing belt, serpentine belt, water pump, power steering pump, driver side lower ball joint, thermostat and air filter, front wheel bearing and new hub.

Also pulled a shallow fender dent with a harbor freight 4.5" suction cup and and cleaned a bunch of gray latex pain from rocker panels with laquer thinner.
