    I've seen other gold Corollas and Prizms with some panels faded to silver...

    Also, does your OBD1 scanner work on both the LC and the '94 Corolla?

    Actually, now that I'm looking closer at the pics it would appear that car was originally silver, and that both bumpers and the right front fender are from a gold/beige car...

    Yeah my TOYOBD1 works on most 90s Toyotas and actually most 80s ones too but they have less useful info on the databus.

    I also saw this potential diamond in the rough today while exploring the backlots at the Thompson dealerships...

    1998 Lexus LS400 that appears to have been sitting for about five years and has been brought to the Lexus dealer for the purpose of bringing it back to life (note the flat tires and the inspection sticker that expired in December 2019). Aside from being in need of a major detailing, the car appears to be in decent shape and should be easy to get back on the road...

    ES350 is a nice car, big thing is check for the timing cover and headgasket leaks. We're starting to see all the 2GRs start to develop leaks from everywhere.

    I'd also suggest finding one without nav. Factory nav is that era is just awful.

    This one does not have the factory nav. It also does not have a backup camera. How hard would it be to install a double-DIN head unit in one of these?

    Go down the rabbit hole here.

    I install double din on all my vehicles that dont come with it factory.

    I'd strongly recommend it and a back up camera if keeping the vehicle long term. They are massive upgrades to have.

    Yes, but a lot of Lexus vehicles are virtually impossible to install double-DIN in. My truck was very easy to put in a double-DIN...

    Oh there’s kits you buy, it replaces the entire center unit. Sometimes even the hvac controls get modified to allow for the headunit to get installed. It’s a pain but a top tier mod for me.

    We had an Estima Hybrid come in today. I didnt bother taking pics, they are pretty vanilla to me, but now I regret not sharing it.

    It was imported, likely getting an inspection for registration. I believe estima and previa are the same though.

    If I see it tomorrow ill take a pic.
