Just saw this over the weekend and know how many are looking for low mileage/clean examples. This is one for sure. No affiliation.

Well, the gas tank is only a little over half full. And the tool kit is missing the pen-light. Other than that, it looks pretty much perfect. Great year. Wow. I'm re-evaluating (downward) how much my '91 is worth.

Actually, those models with heated seats are hard to find here in TX. I've not seen too many. Most of them don't have it.

i imagine the last thing you'd want to do to a leather seat that's been left out in the texas sun is make it ever hotter lol... i'm just so used to seeing the extra buttons on the right side that to have them not be there seems almost weird

I can personally do without heated seats. I would like an older ls without heated seats or traction control

Here are the photos for anyone that missed it. It sure is a cream puff of a car... At $4500, I would have bought it immediately over here and done the timing belt myself.

Those aftermarket center caps would have to go though, or at least have OEM emblems installed.

My terminology may have been confusing. They appear to be OEM rims, which look great, but they have aftermarket center caps installed in the photos.

I have a few 95-97 aftermarket caps in my garage, and they all have this slightly different Lexus emblem on them. Attached is a picture of the one on the rear wheel of this 1999.

If you look at the front and rear wheels in the photos of the driver's side, you'll also notice the badges don't match. The front one is way too small, and the rear one is larger and the wrong style.

The cap on the rear left of the car matches the "F" style cap from ehubcap, who supplies aftermarket caps. Some look very convincing as OEM ones (image attached).

The rest of the hubcaps on this car look like this one, with a smaller emblem than OEM:

OEM has a much larger and rounder emblem, that looks like this:

The car also exhibits chrome badging on the body, but has gold badges on the wheels, which supports the idea that they are replacement caps.
