Default 2003 GX470 buying advice

Hello,

I am in the market for a used GX. I would take a 470 or 460 depending on the deal. I have found a relatively low mileage GX470 with a ton of maintenance records. The vehicle had the belt and water pump done and its documented on the Carfax. Ill post a link in the post. My big questions are what are the deal breakers i should look out for. I know they can be higher mileage and that is not a problem if i have a good service record. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome, should probably ask this in the GX specific forum. Looks like they also did the wheel bearings, which was going to be my next thing to inspect given the age.

With anything like this, why not get a Pre Purchase inspection, usually under $200 from an independent shop, and then know exactly what kinds of things are lurking in the near to mid term?
