Inspection is key. This one needs very very close hands on inspection. I do buy long distance and inspect long distance at times. But this one needs personal inspection by a 100 series specialist, not just some dealership. Find the guy like me or the Slee of MN. Pay to have this one gone over with a microscope.
Normally I just want a few pictures close. I'd fly out for close, than drive back (fun right). But with covid, I not be flying out. So now we've a too good to be true, very unusual history, mileage issue and very unusual time in history.
There was a Black Unicorn 06LC from HI, for sale about a year or so ago, in Denver w/~50K. I did look at it. It was a beauty. If carfax shows this sold in Denver, than this is it or the of it VIN. It had reg's in Hi and CA at same time. I surmised at the time, people had homes in both.
Ask seller for picture of VIN DS door plate, be text today. Also windshield shield DS VIN, PS frt wheel well VIN and PS engine head VIN. Get shots of undercarriage. If it's the one I saw, it is showroom fresh end to end. One of the best I'd seen. As good as
The Black Knight. I wanted this one so bad, but they (A local lot) ignored my offer, which was higher than this is priced.
This 06LC was removed from my account too, due to so many checking this one out. Unfortunately before I could study the history. I had just scanning. I saw some strange entiers. Where age is also a consideration with PM, and I do like seeing all fluids flushed, T-belt and PM stuff. I've not seen this much PM before and early mileage. Toyota does not recommend transmission flush, except extreme condition and ATF is not and age PM. So this would be a customer request, that is more annal than even I. But than to declined oil leak repair or did they subsequently take care of IDK. So supper PM, but allow and oil leak. Like speaking of two different vehicles owners. What would be leaking a such a low miles. A compression test? why would they do that. In fact I've never seen compress test on a Toyota or Lexus history report. Body mounts, I missed scanning, WTF?
I'm not saying this isn't a jewell. But it's just strange entries. Then combine that with repeated mileage descpences. I've seen two types of mileage discrepancy, in the hundreds of carfax and Toyota/Lexus histories I've studied.
I've seen two types of mileage discrepancy:
1) Is fraud.
2) Typos.
4 Typos in a row in short duration is just strange, very big RED FLAG. Typically I can look and number see what number(s) transposed wrong. Than very next entry comes back inline. But in this case it's all over the board. This is a headbanger.
The missing entry from early years, I have seen. But only when from outside the USA. LIke my Canadian 2000 LX470. I must call Canada Dealership to get the history. So If carfax gives Hawaii Dealership. I'd be on the phone. I'd also be calling the CA dealership. I'd try to find service manage in each city, that wrote this up. They'd remember such a low mile and and owner that had no care of cost. But yet would tuned down some basics.
Good luck!
