Pre-purchase checklist
- Match the VIN on the dash, door jamb and title — they must be identical.
- Cold-start the engine; listen for knocks and check for blue or white exhaust smoke.
- Test-drive through all gears at low and highway speed — no slipping, shudder or pulling.
- Confirm every warning light clears at startup (none should stay on).
- Check fluids — oil, coolant, transmission — for level, color and leaks.
- Look underneath for rust, fresh undercoating or signs of collision repair.
- Always get an independent pre-purchase inspection from a trusted mechanic.

SERVICE BRAKES
The brake pads installed by Lexus squeak as if they need to be replaced. According to the Lexus dealer there is a service bulletin, and the fix is to replace the bad pads. I was told the brakes are fine and that the squeaking doesn't mean anything.
