Default Just bought a 2000 platinum edition!

Hello all, I’ve posted here quite a few times before... I recently had a 1999 Ls400 with 330K miles, this past thanksgiving a tire, yes a tire fell out of the back of a truck I was behind and slide under my LS, since I don’t have the engine covers or anything I think you can guess what happened, my lower oil pan was caved in, destroying that and the upper oil pan, while cracking the 1UZFE’a engine. All that. From a tire. So I had recently been searching for a replacement and just so happen to find a 2000 platinum edition with a new paint job (5 months old) and 174K miles. Only 1 problem the Lexus dealer found was a bad bank 1 and 2 sensor, but I purchased the car for 2,200 dollars anyway. Here are the pics, enjoy! Hopefully the pictures upload!

I know, but I’m just saying maybe things could have been a bit different if it was on, who knows
