Default Need help with purchase of 95 LS

I'm in the market for a new to me Lexus. I use to own a '90 LS400 and loved it. Well I just ran across a guy whose selling a 1995 LS with 220,000 miles. He's asking $4500 for it. It's a one owner and has all the service records from a local Lexus dealer. Both interior and exterior are in good shape and there are no leaks or odd sounds while running. Do you all think that it's a good idea to buy one with so many miles. Although it's in excellent shape now will I be in for a pain with that many miles on it? what's your opinion?

If you could, i would def suggest buying something with less miles, like half the miles of that one. But that might set you back close to $6-7K.

However, if you were to choose between a first gen with less miles, or the second gen with higher miles, i would take the second gen def.

(Edit: First gen 90-94, second gen 95-00)

For that many miles you should offer $3,000 or wait for something better.
