Welcome to Club Lexus!

What's the history on the transmission? $7200 is a little high, IMO.

Do a search and you will find plenty of valuable information to help you decide whether you should buy it or not.

The timing "belt" was replaced at 90K and the transmission fluid was flushed/replaced at 110K.

That is my apprehension...the cost. However, it's a one owner car that is in immaculate condition. What other issues will I run into if decide to buy it.
