New car Es 350 unknown service history

[EvanD]

Just picked up this es350. The service history is unknown and it only has 20k on it. Smells new even. What preventative measures should I take ??

Oil change if it hasn’t been done yet. Otherwise run it as is. Not much else you can do other than an ATF fluid change but that most likely won’t need it with such low miles.

What year? I like to keep the brake fluid fresh in my vehicles, I usually don't go past 3 years.

What year. And go ahead and check the dip stick for both oil level and color with a white paper towel.

Dittos on the year. Change the oil so you know what is in the sump. Check all your fluids. Get underneath and look for anything out of the ordinary.

Nice find! Anti-freeze and thermostat is cheap insurance against corrosion and inefficient fuel consumption due to a lazy or stuck open thermostat. PCV valve also, OEM Toyota/Lexus works best. Check the air filter. The one in my bought used 13 year old 34,000 mile Scion was original from the factory.

Take the car to a Lexus dealer and the vin# will tell you everything you need to know from the day it was put into service.

Just picked up this es350.

^ How does one “ pick up “ an expensive late model low mileage luxury car without asking about the service history in this day and time?

Check or replace the cabin filter!

It shares a platform with the Camry - solid car which won’t ask for much.

aside from what’s already mentioned, drive it and enjoy. Perhaps splurge on a decent wax product and apply that while it’s easy to clean.

You can create an account at the Lexus website using your car's VIN. Will give you any history on the car that Lexus has since its purchase.

Looks like a 2015 to me. Super low miles for its age. Low enough that bad maintenance practice wouldn't have caused any irreparable damage. I'd do an oil change and a coolant drain and fill. Other than that, it's probably fine.

Not impossible, but difficult to do too much damage maintenance wise to a car with 20k on the clock.
