Summary:
The vehicle is in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, 32459. This is in the Florida panhandle between Pensacola and Panama City. I travel frequently between here and Atlanta so I am prepared to deliver the vehicle anywhere in between if buyer arranges a trailer.
I bought this LX on January 29, 2022, with 184,654 miles. Since then I have gone through just about the whole vehicle, documenting everything - see below. I liked it so much that I sold my other two cars and kept the LX as my sole vehicle for a while.
Current mileage is 196,505 and the vehicle is smooth, comfortable, quiet, and reliable. Cold A/C front and rear, shifts smooth, rides smooth, AHC operates, tires are good.
I've driven this all over Florida and would not hesitate to jump in the vehicle and dive cross country right now. I would also be comfortable driving this vehicle on a daily basis.
The Carfax I pulled when I bought it shows that has been in Florida and Alabama its whole life so no rust issues. Along with my own records, that Carfax, and the Lexus service records show thorough service and maintenance.
Other than the excellent records and condition, the unique thing about this vehicle is that it had a Toyota OEM winch retrofitted behind the factory bumper when I bought it. I've gotten many offers for the winch system. A google search to get you started: 38110-60280 Toyota - Google Search - https://www.google.com/search?q=38110-60280+Toyota
Along with the vehicle, the buyer will receive:

- 196,505 miles
- OEM winch
- new interior
- service records
- lots of backup parts
- Florida and Alabama its whole life so no rust issues
- AHC is good, new globes - not lifted
