All good points, thanks for all of you chiming it. Having this car across the country is making this challenging. I'm always up for a fly and drive home but not on a 20 year old timing belt, and it's in need of tires as well. Date code 2012 but they look fine.

I have a white one for sale soon (buying an LC500) with 130K miles. I doubt you can find a cleaner one or more updated on service.
At 119K the following services were performed:
Timing belt, water pump, tensioner pulley, idler pulley
Front and rear brakes and rotors
Front lower control arms
Changed Transmission fluid, coolant system fluid and power steering fluid
Michelin Cross Climate II tires
Tinted all windows
Ceramic coating
At 122K miles
Rear differential service
Fuel Injection cleaning
New OEM windshield
Also added Grom V Line 2 with Apple Car Play

It will probably late September-early October before I am ready to sell.

Not to shark, found this in a search of my own. But I am interested! That would be great time frame for me as well, I will have a current vehicle sold by then. Not sure how this works, PM me? I’d love to see pics, this is exactly what I’m looking for.

Just saw a you tube with a guy who traveled intra state to buy a rough LS430 with 365,000 miles and is happy as a lark!

I drove 45 minutes for my LS430. One-owner, practically new with 24k miles. However, I don't know who was into this thing before me. There are a lot of missing/broken/incorrect fasteners, and I found wire nuts in the trunk. Just crap workmanship. I suspect this was from who ever installed the defunct Clifford alarm.

For such low miles there's a lot of corrections that need to be made. I'll be busy for the next 3-6 months.
