Default 90 K service

Would really depend on the service records. Another thread here details a similar car purchase. That poster needed to spend a lot of money on their very low mileage car. They found themselves wishing they had bought a car with more miles on it. To each his own.

It is not good for a car to just sit. They need exercise. If we do the math that 60K car likely did less than 5 K per year.

Congrats on the purchases guys and welcome to the club. Pictures, when it's not raining, of your new ride would be welcome!
And... you're pretty much spoiled. Forgot to tell you that's what happens.

Hey sorry but what are these 15 preferences you needed to set at the Toyota dealer? Does that include things like turning the auto telescopic wheel off everytime you turn on the car?

Now that's a sweet ride. Give us some deets! How many miles, how much did you get it for, how's the condition? Do you need to do the tbelt or any servicing/maintenance? Is everything working properly?

This is a 2004 black on black ML with 149xxx miles, clean title, 3rd owner. I got it for 7500. LexusDrivers shows 90k maint done at 130k with regular oil changes. Interior is a solid 9 out of 10, telescoping works all the time and smoothly so far. Exterior I would rate 7.5 out of 10. light swirl marks on whole car with 1 tiny ding I can spot. planning on doing correction and paintless dent removal around April when weather here is a little nicer. Will take more pics of Interior, couldnt earlier because of the rain.
