I wouldn't do it. That's a lot of miles anyway you look at it.
Keep looking for something without +20K miles on the odo per year.
You'll find another single owner, full records GX out there.
If the budget is tight, would you consider an older but lower mileage GX? Smaller RX or Toyota's 4Runner? Maybe a Sequioia?

The belt was done. also flush of all fluids. In michigan they go by fast too. The body is in mint condition. I figure it'll do 200k. Then I'll keep as a winter only truck. So i don't use my M3.. The wife will use it till 165k then the rest is just 4 months of the year. I've made a deal for 17500. I just hope it'll give me no problems for the next 35k miles..Do you think I can get 10k for it three years from now and with about 165k miles on it?

Also the person replaced the timing belt and the water pump. 1900 dollars worth of work wow.. No wonder you guys said the water pump and the timing belt is important.. Also the front brakes are 6mm and the back 8mm. How long would that take to replace?

Hey I have a 2003 GX470 w/180K on it...my dad bought it right when it came out, never maintained it like he should have (never saw the lexus dealer after he bought it, but would do the necessary oil changes, tires, and other things as needed) and essentially drove it pretty hard for its whole life. He gave it to me (im a junior in college) when he got his new car which was at about 160k miles and i have had it since. The thing runs like a beast, looks essentially brand new, shows very little wear in the car besides some wrinkles in the front drivers seat leather, and that I had to ghetto mute the two front subwoofers (mark lev. system) because I blew them both out...I love my music loud. There are almost no rattles, and besides a few dents the thing is just in great condition. It will run until 200k easy. Also, to give you an idea, we have a 2001 Toyota Land Cruiser with 235k on it which is the same deal. These Japanese vehicles just hold up incredible. I wouldnt hesitate for a second to buy a 135k GX.
