Nice color combination,I really like the blue/saddle interior.That is tan interior,isnt it? You dont see many blue ones on the road either.I live across the river from you in Pa.I see alot of black ones(wich I have) and sand colored ones here.2002 should be a good year for you,most of the gremlins have been worked out with trans. etc. Good luck! let us know how you like it.

Love the exterior, the wood trim is a bit excessive but I'm sure it'll grow on you. If not you can always remove and paint or something.

I just looked at your pics again. There is a lot more wood trim on yours than on my 2001. Is all that stuff stock OE?

No, stock was maybe half of what you see there. Areas around radio (none actually on radio) not including the AC vent, steering wheel, power window arm rest, and rear arm rest.

The vents did not have wood.

Personally... too much for me and color doesn't match well with original.

Still,a very nice vehicle.I would certainly take it.Especially for 18,000.Thats a very good price.I paid 16,500 for my 2001 w/77,000 miles last year.The more I look at the pictures,the more I like it that way.

so I drove it home...everything was good, just got on brand new tires/rotors/brakepads and an oil change....

and within 30miles, shortly crossing over 64,000 on the ODO, got a CHECK (engine) and VSC lights on the dash.....PERFECT

luckily I work at Lexus and will get the code read this week, I hope its nothing major...
