People regularly think this car is new. It isn't — but it's been cared for as if it were. I came to this car deliberately. After years of constant, expensive repairs across multiple BMWs in my family, I did something different: I bought the Consumer Reports special issue that surveyed independent mechanics nationwide on reliability by budget. Everything pointed to Lexus. I found this ideal option at Lexus of Valencia — Certified Pre-Owned, inspected to Lexus's own standards before I touched the keys. It was the only one I could find in Tungsten Pearl, a special-order platinum-toned metallic. I've owned it from 60,000 miles. On how it's been driven: I'm a graduate of four multi-day performance driving schools at tracks including Laguna Seca and Road Atlanta. What those programs actually teach is smoothness — gentle inputs, anticipating ahead, easy on the brakes. I've driven this car the same way its entire life with me. It has been garaged every day of my ownership. Maintenance was handled for years at Lexus of Valencia, then rotated intentionally through the best-reviewed independent shops in the area. Oil changes done religiously at correct intervals. A portion of maintenance records were lost when a water heater burst and flooded a storage area. Full disclosure: no accidents, no frame damage, no flood damage, never smoked in, no warning lights, no mechanical issues. Clean California title in hand. Both original keys and all factory manuals included. Minor wear consistent with age and LA-area use: light curb rash on wheels, small stone chips, light marks on trunk lid flat section from bike transport (touchup paint applied). Interior is clean — no rips, tears, or stains. Smog certificate provided. Cash or verified cashier's check / bank wire only. Available in Westlake Village, CA.
