Help in Purchasing 2004 GX470?

It is a 2004 GX470, with 164k miles, asking $13,800. It is at a local garage now, on consignment, who maintained it after it went out of warranty. Is it a good deal?

Was used for a rich guys' daughter (their description) to drive from PA to NC for college.
(On an unrelated note, wow. I had a 1978 volvo station wagon with rusted through floorboards. In 1995.)
Anyway, I haven't driven it yet, and have searched here, and asked about timing belts, etc, which were changed at 110k. I don't know whether or not it has KDSS yet, when I drive I will look on the dash, but I am not sure what I am looking for exactly.
Here are some pics of interior, does this help me determine anything? On, and one of the door, which has the bottom plastic molding taped on with scotch-type packing tape...

It has levinson, Nav, Rear DVD (appears aftermarket)

IMHO over priced. It all depends on what you want it for. Figure what you want and need, look at what changes happened each year and then figure the price of that truck. I have seen a few '05 in that price range with between 105k and 110k miles in N. CA. Test drive as many as you can until you start to see and feel little differences. Dealer service history is big, key is 90k with timing belt, water pump, and seals changed. Not all 90k services have all of this done. Know the difference between a deal and value.
