Was hoping for advice from a few of the experts. Just jumped on a deal trading my Porsche Boxter on a 2001 ls 430. Has no maint papers, no owners manual, and 133k....paint is in excellent shape, leather also. Carfax indicates previous owner had car for 01-14. Looks like he had his maint done at place other than dealer. What would be the best way to get a handle on previous maint, ie timing belt, (dont think it is a chain belt)
Driving impressions coming from Porsche are that thisis a heavy car, has plenty of power, possibly hard on brakes and lots of sensors for all the extras...How would you recommend getting myself up to speed , possibly take to Lexus dealer for pre purchase inspection? Is there a way to ck the timing belt without taking it all apart? Can I replace the battery without keeping trickle charge on computer....If anyone knows of a pre purchase inspection topic on the site? Thanks in advance Jmes in San Diego
