It has 121,000 on it. I bought it for 9,000. Next I need to do a timing belt. How many miles does yours have?

I bought my 2005 GS430 in March with 68,700miles on it for 14k out the door. Do you know the service history of your Lexus? If not you can go online to MyLexus and punch in your Vin to acquire your service history or just go to the stealership and ask them to print it out for you. I had no service history on the timing belt so I had it change out first chance I got. Timing belt every 90k or 75 months which ever comes first.

badblackgs,

Thank you for showing this pictures. What better evidence is this. I would try to do the same later today after clean my car, but it's raining here every day. But you did it for me. The only difference in my car with yours is that I have 235/30/20 on front.

Also, I do not want to have any controversy here in this forum. But I have noticed that many member not believe what is said here. It is my humble opinion.
