The car drives and runs, but it does have a few problems as discussed below. This car has served me well, and I’ve finally decided to move to something else. I am disclosing everything to the best of my ability. Be advised this car is being sold as-is. This car will need some repairs, but Lexus engines are known to have a lot of life in them. Many parts have been replaced recently (shown below). I have the CARFAX records available (in addition to eBay’s Experian Autocheck).
