Default Looking to buy low mileage 2008 GX470

Would like advice on what to look for, problems to avoid in buying an '08 470 w/ 55k miles. 'sweet spot' for the start of mod/major repair expenses? not from a Lexus dealer, but an independent (not an individual either).
Clean, nice, only don't want to overlook something that you would suggest I look for. Plan to buy extended warr.
of course. Any idea what that should cost? $2k-3k ?
THANKS, EAS

No offense, but use the search feature and the stickies. That question is asked a million times, and there’s a ton of info on what to look for.

55K? Barely broken in. These cares are pretty solid. Get a pre purchase inspection.

I won't waste money on an extended warranty. I have 175K miles on my 2005 GX and spent less than $1,500 on un-scheduled repairs for the past 12+ years.
