Lexus auction sheet verification
Lexus is Toyota's luxury division, and its RX, NX and IS models sell at a premium overseas. With more money on the line, verifying the original auction sheet — grade, mileage and any repair history — is even more important than on a mainstream car.
Why verify a Lexus?
Premium prices attract premium-level misrepresentation — a rolled-back mileage on a Lexus is worth far more to a fraudster, which is exactly why the sheet matters.
Finding your Lexus chassis number
Lexus uses its own chassis codes, distinct from the Toyota equivalents, such as GYL25W (RX) or ASE30 (IS). Find the full number on the export certificate, under the bonnet, and on the door-jamb plate.
Lexus chassis codes by model
| Model | Chassis code(s) | Generation |
|---|---|---|
| RX | GYL25W · GYL26W | 2015–2022 · 2022+ |
| NX | AGZ10 · AAZH25 | 2014–2021 · 2021+ |
| IS | ASE30 · AVE30 | 2013+ |
| LS | VXFA50 | 2017+ |
| UX | MZAA10 · MZAH10 | 2018+ |
| CT | ZWA10 | 2011–2022 |
What to check on a Lexus
- Hybrids (RX450h, NX300h): confirm the hybrid generation code and check interior wear on chauffeur-used cars.
- Verify mileage carefully — high-value Lexus models are prime rollback targets.
- Inspect the damage map for repaint (W) marks; luxury buyers expect flawless panels, so repairs are often hidden.
- Confirm the exact Lexus code — it differs from the Toyota sibling.
