As long as the previous owners did not abuse the car, it will be more reliable than your current car. My first car I revved it to redline all the time even on cold starts.... the next owner the dealer sold it to must have headaches over engine problems. The car looked absolutely flawless and show room condition too. My brother did the same for his mini cooper.

Dang! that is cheap! 1/3 the price of the car when it was new!

Get inspection done by Lexus dealership...cost about $150...they will tell u every little thing that's wrong with car in the inspection report.

Then ask seller to fix these problems or deduct from price before u buy.

Make sure title is clean and not salvage title.

Good Luck

There's a lot wrong with that posting; first, it appears to either have a flat black wrap or flat black paint job on it. Second, according to Lexus.com...that car is original black Onyx :

BLACK ONYX
