Looks pretty good to me. That's my color of choice even though it's a really common color. I just bought one a couple weeks ago and had to settle on a different color because it was maintained. I wish I could have found that one close by, I probably would have snatched it up.

I would verify the service history on Lexus' site just to make sure. If the timing belt was done by a Lexus dealer it will be listed on the Lexus site. You can also look for all the other things that might have been replaced and make sure the fluids have been done at some point. If all of that looks good and you can look it over to make sure there is no rust, I'm only saying that because it looks like it lived in the North East for a while, then I would probably ****** it up. I just paid $10,500 for an '05 with 111k and it needed some small work like replacing the both front door locks and a new set of tires. They were asking $12k which I think was worth it if all of the stuff had been fixed, which it is now. That being said, if it's truly as clean as they say it's worth the price they are asking. Of course you should always try to come down on the price but it seems fairly priced to me. Don't worry about the 109k miles, if it's been maintained fairly decent it's got at least another 100k to go.

Good luck and let us know if you get it.

Could be a sweet one, IF all his claims about condition are true.
It's a rare Custom Luxury package car, with Laser cruise, and no air suspension worries.
I expect some will quibble with the price. But try to find a better sub-$10k used car!
It's got another 150k to 200k miles left in it if that's your style..
It's all about the IF.
(I just travelled 1200 miles to visit a lying scumbag dealer who photoshopped the pictures to lure buyers in)
