Hello am sorry for bringing this here but I m confused don’t know what to do

I needed a gs350 so I approached a seller in Benin
The man gave me Lexus car that has gs350 on the back I paid a mechanic to check d car
The mechanic checked and said everything is ok aside the power steering that get stiffs

My problem

I tried fixing I had to take the car for diagnosis

The computer read that d car is gs300 not 350 and the manufacturing date is 2003 not 2008

The dealer lied that the car is accident free but it was detected that the had been involved in an accident already

I just got this car not even up to a week just 4 days
I messaged the seller he read but did not reply

What do I do pls advice

I don’t want to follow my mind because if I do I might end up paying hospital bills for everyone In that car stand pls help

The best thing to do is follow your mind.

read well

I paid a mechanic to help me cross check the car

And mind u there is no big difference between gs 250 300 and 350. Gs is different from ES

Oh no, there's a big difference.

For example, GS 300 is 1997-2004 model while GS 350 is 2006-2011

Just post the car picture or find a google picture of the car and post here.

Diagnosed by another kazeem, or someone has the computer of a GS in there..

OP you just paid for tuition on knowing what to ask before you buy a car course, hope you pass the exam or you will carry over to the next session.

To anyone out there, if you don't know about cars and you want to buy one.

take several pic of outside inside and engine of the car. Post it here and ask questions, you will get free advice from those that know.
Take picture of Vin from the door and windshield and post it too for a free autocheck from those that can

Oh even the receipt carried GS300 and you happily signed the receipt and drove away with the car? Just enjoy your ride. There is nothing you can do legally. As far as the law is concerned, you paid for a GS300 and that was what you got. Enjoy.

There is one last resort, that is if the receipt carries the VIN no.

Op, just pay for VIN check

You are confused. You deserve a hot slap first.

You posted a picture of an IS and say it's a GS.
Whoch system will show you that an IS is now a GS, its either that system is mad or you don't even know what you are saying.

You don't know abiut cars, you paid a wack mechanic who doesn't even know jack about cars to chevk a vehicle for you, and you paid and discovered few days later that the sterring is stiff....

Drive that car back to the dealer and sort it.

Next time, spend 20k or 50k for a professional to carry a due diligence on any car you intend to buy next.

Hope it was stolen too cos that Benin is a very terrible city... Most stolen cars from the East are usually dumped there...

Good luck to your IS magic car tuned GS
