Default 2003 LX470 common problems????

Hello Guys,
I'm in the market for an LX. I just got done paying off my GS so I have extra $$ to spend on a SUV. So far I've seen a mint condition white 2003 LX470 with 80k miles for $25k. I just wanted to ask you guys what are common issues that I should be concern about when buying this SUV. I would appreciate all your responses. Thanks!

older LX don't tend to see any problems, before buying one...make sure the spare tire winch ain't seized up.

1998 model and 176k miles - no issued, scheduled maintenance. 2006 model and 50k miles so far - only had to replace the rain sensor pack through warranty.
