Looking at a 2004 LX470 with 102k. I have a 97 450 with 187K.
The 100 series is a one owner with all service done at a Lexus dealership. I pulled the service records myself off the VIN and mylexus.com.
All of the 5000 mile services were done at the dealership. At 100k they did the timing belt but not the idler or tensioner pulleys nor the water pump. A few more than usual wheel alignments but that started at 20,000 miles and some Lexus owners think its out of alignment and its really road crown.
It's a totally south eastern US vehicle with nary a spot of rust on underbody. Never towed with as there is no hitch, the rear spare looks original, and the pin connector has dust in it with sparkling clean connectors.
Needs new tires for sure. I checked the AHC and its good.....there is almost 11 mark differences between low and high on the reservoir. I hit 14 and 3 as the difference points. Fluid looks really clean there and the coolant is SLLC pink lemonade.
I've driven it almost 60 miles and its smooth, vibration free, does not pull, has good transmission shifts and the body and interior are nearly spot free with no road rash and few paint chips. Leather and electronics are all good.
I poked around on the CVs and found some grease buildup.
Here is a link to some pics I took today......mostly of the CVs.

Asking $26,950 which I know is high and out of bounds. Tell me what you think of CVs and market price.
Everything works from windows to radio to rear air.
It's been in two "minor" rear accidents according to carfax...one 6 years ago and the other 5 months ago. I've checked gaps and can find one out of place on top of hatch on right rear. The lower body gaps are good.
Help me out on the CVs and what you think.
