Looking at buying a 2015 LX, 186k miles. Service records at Lexus dealer every 4-6k miles, no gaps. Impeccable service records.
$27k
I have not seen it in person but these are frame pics sent:

Borderline. Any suspension work will likely result in needing additional elbow grease and a few late nights. The price is a little on the higher side given the condition.
 
If you have to ask, it's too much.

You've asked the question so it's already a concern. Just pass and wait until you find a cleaner one. Future you will be very happy that present you waited.
 
Michigan truck?

Seen better and seen worse. LX so you don't have to worry about the seized/corroded KDSS valve. That said, you're probably going to have a good deal of stuck fasteners that require elbow grease.

Nothing structural and could be made significantly better with a wire wheel, some Rustoleum and some Fluid Film.

See if you can get some $$ off.

On the LX while you don't have to worry about the KDSS, rusted through AHC lines are a real concern.

Like others said, this is probably high on price, especially with the rust. If you live in rust country, negotiate down and treat it. If you don't, hard pass.
 
Good for a rust-belt truck, bad for anywhere else. If you're OK with AHC delete when the lines rust through, I wouldn't worry about it at all. If you're adamant on keeping AHC and plan to own this truck for the long haul, I'd look further south.
 
Thanks for input. They were not interested in any price change so I passed. Likely just go with a GX for now.
