Will you please confirm the color? It says beige but the photos look more like silver. Thanks!
 
I inquired about this vehicle a while ago. The Carfax I received showed a mileage discrepancy. When I inquired about it, got radio silence.
 
That link for images was giving a 404 not found error for me.

Hello. Sorry for the delay in responding. I went to the AZ DMV and they said that the mileage discrepancy is due to that WA state (where I bought the car) does not need to report mileage on titles for vehicles over 10 years old. Thus the previous 2 WA state owners did this with the Lexus mileage. Arizona translates the “exempt” notation on the WA title for vehicle mileage to mean “mileage is not accurate” because they don’t have an “exempt” designation. However, the mileage is correct. You can read more about the WA stance on the Lexus mileage HERE.
