Default Buying a 2004 ES330 @ 237K miles

Price is $1500
Body is still in immaculate condition.
Is it worth buying this ES? Owner is a mechanic (this is what making me think twice - why is he selling it)

Common issues to look forward to on this model especially this age, if I decided to pull the trigger?

Any comment is highly appreciated!

My 2 cents- If it drives & handles well, with no weird noises coming from anywhere (inside car or under hood), buttons & switches work, no rust, and fluids & timing belt changed/maintained well (records?) I would think:"Wow, it's only 1,500 friggin' bucks"! What else can you get in this price range?!? If you can drive it for 3+ more years, it's a bargain, imho.

I'm sure it's maintained very since the owner owns a car repair shop. I'll take a 2nd look again tomorrow (been ignoring it for I got the IS as my daily), Will probably switch to this old fart and drive it the whole summer!

Thanks Brownd3max!
