I purchased this beautiful Lexus in February 2018 in Santa Barbara, CA and it has been my very reliable daily driver since then until now - I have fallen on hard times financially and as painful as it is, it no longer makes sense to keep this full size luxury car, this is why I’m selling it. I have full service records, clean title and two factory keys. I am the SECOND owner.

Factory alternator replaced early this month.

All four struts and rear sway bars (original) were replaced July 2021 at Engels Repair on Vashon. 

Wheels rotated and balanced at West Seattle Les Schwab at 161K Miles in February.

VVTi sensor (driver side) and battery replaced December 2020

Fuel filter and rear diff fluid changed October 2020.

Power steering pump replaced October 2019.

Timing belt and water pump replaced February 2018 at 140K miles.

Iridium spark plugs last changed October 2015 at 126K miles. (original owner)

Vehicle runs fantastic with all these new parts, averaging 26 MPG highway, 18 city. requires premium gas.

Some minor things:

• Heated seats do not work

• Shift lock override switch is missing the cover

• Most of the screws and bolts holding plastic panel underneath the engine bay have stripped due to repeated removal from oil changes - currently held on in the front by wires, so it’s sagging a bit.

• Scrape on front passenger side bumper from being hit in a parking lot.

• Rear passenger tail light works, but the lens is cracked. I have the replacement but have not gotten around to installing it.

And just the usual 22 year old car dents and scrapes, but overall in fantastic shape.
