Riz1

Im looking to purchase a 2004 ls430 from Texas. I live in New York. Im a huge fan of this community and been around for awhile but have been just a lurker. Never owned a Lexus. This will be my first time purchasing a car out of state. Basically looking to fly then drive the car back to New York if it all fairs well. Anything that I should ask or watch out for? Im looking to have a PPI done, any reputable mechanics or places for it in the Houston Texas area? I would like to be safe rather than sorry. Would value your opinion, please help

Heres the Lexus service history of the car. Would like your thoughts and opinions on its history. It is a 1 owner. Thanks all

Here are couple pictures, as we all love some pics

Early '04s had transmissions replaced, so no cause for concern. It appears that the owner was pretty picky. What's the current mileage and what does Carfax/Autocheck show in the way of service since 2012? If the car lived in Houston, I'd be mildly concerned about possible Harvey flood damage. Is this a private or dealer sale?

Romanova

In Houston, try ClearChoice for your PPI. https://clearchoicetexas.com/

I'm in Houston, LMK if you need anything.

Riz1

dang that a big bummer, should I be concerned? Car has 49k miles

Riz1

pmed you, thanks for the reply

Riz1

will get in touch with you, thanks so much

Car is way overdue for a timing belt. Age is a factor as well as miles. In fact I would do T belt, tensioners, water pump, for sure.

Also change out ALL the fluids. Make it a part of the purchase to get all that done.

Looks like a heck of a nice car. Yes check for flood damage, that would be a nightmare on an LS. Any car really, but an LS would be one nightmare after another with flood damage.

Riz1

some great info here, worst case scenario is this going to cost me an arm and a leg for all the fixes?

Johnhav430

the one thing I zero in first and foremost is the color of the brake fluid--the resolution is not high enough to tell. Because if black, it tells me neglect, and it would seem the rest would follow.

the other thing if in person I would go right to the coolant level, as that seems to evaporate normally. Again, might not be the best thing if there is low coolant (mine had none that could be seen knock on wood didn't damage anything as it's been 28 mos.),

I really think driver door actuator, power mirror switch, driver seat cushion, these are almost sure things. Not that any seller is willing to fix them, but use to drop price no matter what the price is. Missing tool kit is 50/50, again just a tool to drop the price. The things I mention are needed even in well maintained cars. Oh yeah tilt telescope are almost sure to need attention...

jayclapp

No history since Dec 2012 at 39,999 miles. Sounds like the car was sold and the next owner avoided Lexus service. Sounds like it might be a seriously abused car. Did he/she do any maintenance/repair at all. I'd be very leary if that is all you know.

Ricklin

Not a big stretch of miles went by W/O it visiting Lexus, that would not bug me as long as the oil was changed. Clean brake fluid is something
to look for on used cars. Car guys are the ones who know about and change their brake fluid.

it says its a 1 owner vehicle as per carfax. This is after 40k mile service at Lexus. Seems like since then it has been taken J & T automotive in Houston. Maybe any locals here know of this shop?

great catch btw
