2020 LEXUS IS 300 F Sport

The auction records list the vehicle as having a salvage certificate with “VANDALISM” identified as the primary damage. However, Stage 1 reports that the provided photographs do not confirm vandalism as the primary damage. They visibly show all four wheel and tire assemblies missing, but the cause cannot be determined from the photographs. The salvage-certificate status also cannot be confirmed from the exterior and interior photographs. All four wheel and tire assemblies are absent: the left-front, left-rear, right-front, and right-rear positions. The brake rotors and hubs are exposed at each location. This is severe damage that will require wheel and tire replacement, followed by inspection of the hubs, brakes, suspension, steering, wheel studs, and related components before the vehicle can be operated safely. The right lower rear bumper has a detached black lower bumper or valance piece hanging near the exhaust outlet. The left lower rear bumper has several dark linear scuff and abrasion marks. Inside the vehicle, the steering-wheel rim shows minor surface peeling, cracking, and worn texture. The VIN decodes as a 2020 Lexus IS 300 F Sport sedan, built in Japan by Toyota Motor Corporation at the Tahara plant. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, and 4x2 drivetrain. The decoded factory wheel size is 18 inches front and rear. The vehicle is also listed with standard safety equipment including ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, curtain and front-row airbags, forward-collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. A complete mechanical and structural inspection is recommended, as the provided findings do not establish the condition of these systems or the underlying cause of the missing wheels.
