If you have any questions just PM me. I'm very familiar with these cars.
When you check out the car make sure you do the following.
- check for water stain marks in the trunk. Usually if it's a bad convertible top, there will be water stains close to the C pillars. Lexus designed a little water catch area, but the fitment is very precise. Any accidents will cause it to misalign and you'll get water in the trunk when it rains.
- check the Mark Levinson speakers. They are known to delaminate and you'll hear this buzz from the base. Easy enough fix if it happens with a foam speaker kit, but its a lot of work to take apart everything.

- his navigation latch is closed. This usually means his navigation is not working. The optical drive for these old dvd based Navi weren't the greatest and the laser burns out really frequently. The newest map for download will be 2012 so even if the dvd nav works, it'll still be outdated.
- timing belt and water pump. Make sure those are done.
- you can stop the convertible hardtop halfway. Make sure you check all the hydraulics and the rubber seals. If anything makes loud noises or the rubber gaskets look white and faded, id be careful.
- headlights are all yellow so I think this guy parks it outdoors.
