I'll give a quick assessment of everything. \r\n\r\nExterior 7/10: It does have some scuffs and scratches, I point them out in the gallery. We opted to not do any paint work on this car. It's likely going to be someone's driver, and they may not even care about some wear. \r\n\r\nInterior 9/10 Interior cleaned up very nicely. Minimal wear on surfaces (especially armrests and bolsters as Lexus are known to do), everything works like it should. No dash/steering wheel cracks, etc. \r\n\r\nDrivetrain: 10/10 - everything runs and drives like it should. Engine pulls strong, transmission shifts smooth. The Carfax notes comprehensive servicing at Toyota, and it shows. \r\n\r\nA few small details I really enjoyed about this car: \r\n- exceptionally quiet on the highway. Set the AC and the heated seat, and it's like riding on a cloud. \r\n- Great \"touch points\" - your elbows rest on soft, plush leather and the steering wheel is one of my favorite of all time. Your hands rest comfortably in the grooves. \r\n- Good headlights for the year. Drove it at night and was impressed with the output. \r\n- 30MPG highway. \r\n\r\nWhat does it need? Stereo sounds good but its ready for a Bluetooth upgrade. GROM makes a kit, TOYOU3, that is plug and play. \r\n\r\nAs we head into the final day, don't hesitate to ask any questions.", "likes": 2, "timestamp": 1745432163, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 17449028, "authorName": "gstiff", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/gstiff/", "bidAmount": 5500, "content": "USD $5,500 bid placed by gstiff", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1745452549, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 17450824, "authorName": "timo1731", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/timo1731/", "bidAmount": 5600, "content": "USD $5,600 bid placed by timo1731", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1745496595, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 17451030, "authorName": "Csvs", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/csvs/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Hello, Is there anything that doesn't work as it should on thr car?\r\nAny fluid leaks of any kind?\r\nDoes the A/C blow ice cold?\r\nDo you know if the head gaskets were ever replaced?\r\nThank you", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1745499352, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 17451067, "authorName": "Willyo22", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/willyo22/", "bidAmount": 5700, "content": "USD $5,700 bid placed by Willyo22", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1745499624, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 17451761, "authorName": "lifetime4170 (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/lifetime4170/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@Csvs - \r\n\r\nHello, Is there anything that doesn\u2019t work as it should on thr car?
