No!
It doesnt matter if it's a Lexus because that's an OLDDD car.
And the mileage is just wayy too much.
Car facts? No? Then no.
You can get a better car in better shape with that money.
In addition, you would like to ensure that the car you're purchasing will protect your son so you should go on Carmax.com or someplace where you now every little detail of the car. Hope that helps!

I guess it depends on what he plans to use the car for. I really don't see a problem if its his first car and he just needs something to get around (its not like he needs to drive it across the country). However, I seriously doubt a '94 Lexus with over 300k on the clock is worth $3,800, so find out what the KBB value is of the car before considering it. Also have a mechanic look at it to see if it will need any major repair.

I'm no expert but it sounds like a lot of money for that many kms plus at that mileage everything else is going to start going
