Exactly my thoughts. 67k miles, 1 owner, dealer maintained, southern car (no salt!), <$50k. Factory crossbars are a plus. Cabernet interior, luxury package, etc. It checked more boxes than any other one I could find.

That was my thought, too. As far as I can tell, it was filled, but they may have pounded it out 1st. I made the deposit yesterday! Hopefully it ships quickly. I'm going to be sad to see my 4Runner leave the driveway without me, that's for sure.

They filled and repainted.

Wow, you guys are good! And fast! Thank you! Any idea what work the composite one would need to be removed for? Front shocks? Those were replaced. Wondering why it might be missing. The one furthest front I'd guess was not replaced during an oil change. All work has been done at a Lexus dealership.

Oh interesting. Now I see. Thanks for pointing that out! Besides the one that should cover the oil filter housing, are any others missing? I'm new to this platform, if this were a 4Runner I'd know what I'm looking at lol.

I got some more info. The previous owner backed into a mailbox. The repair looks pretty good from what I can tell. I also have some images from underneath. Any red flags that I should know about? It's a southern car - we don't get cars that look like this in Ohio!

Mostly concerned about long-term viability of a body filler repair. I think the storage compartment is right behind this spot, too. As far as I can tell, no trim is being removed for the repair. I have some images of the repair in process and it looks like everything is being left in place.

Hi all, I'm currently in the market for an LX and found one that checks all the boxes except for this damage on the lower left section of the tailgate. I'd prefer the panel be replaced and not repaired. I'd be interested to hear the forum's thoughts on this.
