Default 2001 110k or 2003 140k?

2001 110k 3 owners, 2003 140k 1 owner ALL other things SAME.
Which one would you take?

If the one owner 2003 has all maintenance records, jump on that. Would be hesitant on the 3 owners unless the records have followed the car.

Timing belt changed? How about service history on lexus.com or other ?

And, to answer your specific question:
I'd flip a coin!

It means there was a check engine light, and it wasn't covered under warranty meaning the owner paid to have it fixed.

You're making me feel guilty, not having changed the timing, or any other belts, on my wife's '02 with 110K miles on it.

I need to do that before it gets hot.

Bought an 01 RX last year with 120,000 miles on it and did several "preventative" things, timing belt included
