Default Getting an es300 tomorrow, (Just Keeping my GS family Informed.)

Sooo i found a 2000 es300 with 122k miles for 7k out the door at the lexus dealer. The car itself is in immaculate and i mean immaculate condition. The lady that bought it with 20k miles was a doctor and the car has about 15k in recepits from the same dealer she bought it and the same dealer im getting it from. The timing belt was done 5 years ago at 65k miles. The car drove perfect at 85 mph i even removed my hands from the wheel and it went straight for a mile. The brakes arent brand new and the tires have about 60 percent left but the car is in such amazing condition. One bad thing i did notice is that the car was a little rough for about the first 2-4 minutes that i started it, and the idle was a little high, any suggestions on this? Thank you and do you guys have any suggestions on the price? Im really excited about picking this one up, hopefully this little ruff run on the first couple minutes of the cold start turn out to be something serious.

by the way here is a link to the pics

Awesome, never been a fan of the ES series for some reason but a doctor owned car is always better than the average

Sometimes the idle sensor could be sticky or something with the MAF. I don't think it's a big deal, I had an rx--7 and m3 that did for years and it was never anything to write home about, I never even got it fixed either
