Buying this 2009 Lexus ES 350
Firstly, consider the deal is already done since I really liked the car.
Milage: 180,000 km
Variant with 2 sunroofs and screens behind both seats heads.
Super well maintained, drives like a cloud. No Noise.
I got the detailed inspection done at a place.
Note: they have to report absolutely everything, because if they dont then I can claim warranty, in case something goes wrong that they didn’t report.
Inspection report was mostly fine, verbally they told me its worth it.
Issues:
Blue Smoke from the exhaust when you rev to 2500rpm for a few seconds then full rev higher.
This is blue smoke is not continuous.
change Valve stem seals. Oil Rings.
Front engine cover leak.
Timing chain cover leak.
Steering axel rubber seal on passenger side (fix leak first, then rubber).
1 Engine mount broken.
No dripping leaks when car is parked. just visually oil buildup at a few spots when looked from under.
Inspection test drive was smooth at changing gears.
No accidents.
