Hey jg
The carfax is good, no accidents had 2 owners, both in Del ray beach Fl. The second owner is a friend of the owner of the dealership and the car was serviced there till now. I'm just concerned because the physical condition of the car isn't excellent. The general manager I spoke with said it had some paint chip marks on front and the seat leather has some wear. He said it probably an 8.5 -9 out of 10. It does have everyrhing I was looking for color and U/L pack. I realize the car is 8 years old so probably hard to find what I want a physical appearance rating of 10? What do you think?

That's a great car - I own a Premium/Nav 2013 ES 350 with (now) 130,000 miles.
What a beautiful ride.
I sell these vehicles for a living and have a suggestion:
If the stone chips on front bumper/hood are bothering you, ask for a repaint of the front bumper/hood. If they say "no", ask them to have it painted at their cost which you would pay.
Front bumper repaint cost for dealership is $300 - $500.
The car's color (obsidian) is easy to match
Good luck!

The bumper can always be painted. Told Him about the Black Obsidian easy to match paint also. The 58k on 13, and U/L are not easy to find at that price. My 13 U/L had 148k Zero problem miles.

Thanks for the reply NicestRide
So I went to look at the car today, 2.5 hr drive to the Dealer in Del Ray beach,Fl Negotiated the price down to $16,800. I couldn't believe how beautiful this car was and the condition was almost mint. It had 2 or 3 very small pin head size chips on hood and the black leather seats had some worn leather lines, but in very good condition. Im thinking some maufacturer obsidian touch up paint on the chips and 3000 wet sand when paint dries , then polish. The seats Jamie told me about some ways to dye them and some chemical guy stuff also.
I drove the car home it drives like you are on a cloud, smooth as silk. I was driving across alligator alley and looked down at the speedo it was at 100 mi an hour! I swear I thought I was goin 75 -80. This car has so many options I need to learn how to use half of them lol
