Does timing reference above mean the timing belt was replaced? Any other details on specific maintenance done since you’ve had it would be great... all 4 brakes and rotors....does brakes mean pads and or fluids in addition to rotors? Looks like a nice example.

For those that are interested. I inquired about the car in some detail. Owner provided some records from past services that were helpful and outlined a number of service visits and verified many of the things stated. However, more disclosure should have been given regarding the damage to the front bumper, which was described to me as a couple scrapes and paint chips. There seems to be a reason the two pictures in the listing that show the front end are lower in resolution than the others (for those who might have noticed and wondered). Those shown here do not show that there is considerably more cosmetic damage there. There was a reference in the service records from November of 2017 where the passenger front fog lamp and lens assembly were replaced, but the owner (original owner), did not want the other damage repaired. The records show they were basically just asked to try and re secure the bumper in place. The current owner noted the car was also listed on clublexus.com. I checked the listing and there are more detailed pictures of the damage to the front bumper there. This car has many strengths and has had many maintenance issues already taken care of. However, potential buyers should be aware of issues that are not listed here in the current listing.

Thank you for the post Phdpsy
please keep in mind that this is a 1998 and by no means I described the car as flawless condition and by no mean I try to hide any imperfections of the car.
there was a reference and carfax history stating there was a accident in 2007, to my knowledge of the son in law he told me the mother in law got into a fender bender cost some damages to the passenger fender, on the service history in 2007 there was a service about corner lights and front bumper repair, I was told by the son in law that it she did not bother fixing it so the car was in that state ever since.
here are some very detail pictures of paint damages and paint cracks





I have nothing to hide for this car, I would recommend potential buyer to come check out in person and test drive it
the car still drives news no strange noise or rattles, everything works as it should and it shouldn't need anything major for anther 100k miles
