Default just bought an used 08 is 250.

I just bought my 08 lexus is 250 from a used car dealer. I was so excited. I asked to test drive but he said to come back tomorrow to charge battery. Instead of coming to test drive, I took the ccar straight ome after he had cleaned it up. Big Mistake. Ithink the rotors in the front are warpd or something cuz it shakes severly when I bake to a stop and shakes slightly when I accelerate under 40...then its smooth sailing above that. Theres also a rattling noise in some turns and bumps like something is loose in the wheels or the suspension. And of course I think I'm losing power at times due to carbon build up. And there a low rattle when I start it. I think I'm stuck with this car and if so pleaseoffer me some tips on how to fix some of these issues. e mail me please at noneed2brag@gmail.com
