This buy is not going to happen. In spite that the owner had maintenance records he did not have anything showing that he had the timing belt changed. I really tried to make this happen but I will move on. I am sure that I will be back to the forum when I find another ls 430 that captures my fancy.
Thank you all for your input.

When I see a neglected dirty interior, especial in a car that one would assume has been at least moderately been cleaned up for sale, rightly or wrongly I assume the mechanical systems have also been neglected. Hard pass for me, but everybody has different criteria and I could be totally wrong on the mechanicals.

Honestly I feel like 3800 is a great deal for it but you're right, if the timing belt wasn't done then it is just a ticking bomb. I may also be biased since here in CA, most of these go for more.

It was hard to pass up. I really liked the ride. I have looked at so many Lexus's that I am starting to get impatient. So i went to this forum for some guidance before I regret a purchase.
Thank you
