Comments on Exterior:

IT SHALL BE NOTED THAT UPON ARRIVAL THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN SITTING, A LOT OF SURFACE RUST HAD DEVELOPED ON ALL BRAKE ROTORS & VEHICLES BATTERY WAS DEAD. VEHICLE WAS JUMP STARTED BY SELLER & STARTED PROMPTLY. FURTHER DIAGNOSIS OF VEHICLES BATTERY & CHARGING SYSTEM WOULD BE A RECOMMENDATION. VISUALLY THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN REPAINTED (NOT A SHADE OF LEXUS SILVER THIS INSPECTOR HAD EVER SEEN BEFORE) AT SOME POINT IN THE DISTANT PAST. PAINT WAS FOUND TO BE DULL IN APPEARANCE WITH SMALL SECTIONS OF OXIDATION FORMING. THERE WERE NUMEROUS SCRATCHES & CHIPS OBSERVED ALL OVER VEHICLE TOO MANY TO DETAIL. WHAT WAS OBVIOUS & STOOD OUT WERE SCRATCHES TO RT/FRONT, RT/REAR, RT/DOORS, REAR, L/FRONT, L/REAR, L/DOORS, BOTH FRONT & REAR BUMPERS & BODY SIDE TRIM. MOST SCRATCHES WERE LESS THAN 2 INCHES IN LENGTH. NOTABLE CHIPS WERE OBSERVED TOO RT/FRONT, RT/DOORS INCLUDING EDGES, L/FRONT, L/REAR, L/DOORS INCLUDING EDGES, HOOD, BOTH FRONT & REAR BUMPERS & BODY SIDE TRIM. MOST CHIPS WERE LESS THAN 1 INCH IN DIAMETER & LESS THAN 1/16 OF AN INCH IN DEPTH. MINOR “ROCK TYPE” CHIPS WERE NOTED TO FRONT WINDSHIELD. ALL GLASS CHIPS WERE LESS THAN 1/32 OF AN INCH IN DIAMETER. 4 OBVIOUS & NOTICEABLE DENTS WERE OBSERVED & LOCATED TO RT/FRONT, RT/REAR, L/REAR & R/S BODY TRIM. ALL DENTS WERE LESS THAN 1 INCH IN DIAMETER & ½ OF AN INCH IN DEPTH. THE VEHICLE IS IN NEED OF WIPER BLADE REPLACEMENT. OVERALL THE BODY WAS FOUND TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION WITH EXCEPTION OF FLAWS NOTED. OVERALL PAINT WAS FOUND TO BE IN FAIR CONDITION, A GOOD POLISHING & DETAILING WOULD GO A LONG WAY IN THE OVERALL APPEARANCE OF THIS VEHICLE. *** ITEMS MARKED “NOT REPORTED” ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO THIS VEHICLE*** *** SPECIAL REQUEST COMMENTS CAN BE FOUND IN THE ADDITIONAL INSPECTION POINTS SECTION OF THIS REPORT***.

Comments on Road Test:

UNDERHOOD FLUIDS COULD NOT BE CHECKED DUE TO HOOD SUPPORT LIFTS ARE WORN-OUT & HOOD WILL NOT STAY UP WITHOUT THEM. AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO FIND SOMETHING AT THE INSPECTION SITE TO PROP UP THE HOOD BUT NOTHING WAS FOUND THAT WOULD WORK. REPLACEMENT OF HOOD SUPPORTS WOULD BE A RECOMMENDATION. AFTER BATTERY WAS BOOSTED & VEHICLE WAS LEFT RUNNING FOR AWHILE VEHICLE STARTED PROPERLY & WITHOUT HESITATION. ENGINE IDLE WAS FOUND TO BE SMOOTH & STABLE. NO UNUSUAL ENGINE NOISES HEARD AT START-UP OR DURING IDLE PROCESS. ACCELERATION WAS SMOOTH, CRISP & VERY RESPONSIVE WITH NO LAG OR STUMBLE NOTED. POWER/PERFORMANCE WAS GOOD & ON PAR WITH OTHER VEHICLES OF THIS TYPE. BRAKING WAS QUIET, SMOOTH & PREDICTABLE WITH NO PULL/DRIFT OR PEDAL PULSATION. BRAKE PEDAL WAS FIRM & OF THE CORRECT HEIGHT. SUSPENSION WAS SMOOTH & QUIET WITH NO BODY ROLL/SWAY OR EXCESSIVE BOUNCING. DURING ROAD TEST A LOW GRUMBLE/GROWLING NOISE COULD BE HEARD COMING FROM THE FRONT OF VEHICLE THAT INCREASED IN REVOLUTIONS IN CONJUNCTION WITH VEHICLE SPEED. THIS NOISE IS CONSISTENT WITH A FRONT WHEEL BEARING THAT MAY BEGINNING TO FAIL. FURTHER DIAGNOSIS IS RECOMMENDED. STEERING WAS SMOOTH & QUIET ALONG WITH BEING FREE OF ANY BINDING OR TIGHT SPOTS.
