Hello!
I'm new here and this is my first post. I'm big into camping and recently got interested in light off roading/overlanding and moved to Colorado. I'd like to purchase a GX470 sometime within the next few weeks.. My questions to you experts here are, how old is too old as far as purchasing a used GX470? Is a 2008 model significantly better than a 2006 or 2004? I have a few options in my area, but just wanted to post here and see what kind of responses I can get.
The two options I think I've narrowed it down too are a 2006 model with 86k miles, and the other is a 2008 with 103k miles, both are around $15,000. My mind tells me to go with the 06 because it's cleaner, and has less miles, but I'm just hesitant to buy a 14 year old car. Thoughts? Neither option has had the timing belt and/or water pump replaced yet.
Please post any and all advice/suggestions/questions to ask the dealer. Any responses are appreciated!
