I've got my eye on a 2004 LX470 with 108k miles. 1 owner all service records. Problem is service seems to have completely stopped right at like 87k miles. So I have no idea what went on from 87k till 108k. Still titled to the same owner but for whatever reason no records.
My concern is the truck is about 700 miles from me. I will actually be in that area for business next week and can have a PPI done at local Toyota (no lexus dealer anywhere near this city).
I have to assume it has original timing belt. You guys think it's a huge risk to drive it 700 miles with questionable timing belt? Is there a way to get a peek at the TB without being vary invasive? The PPI the toyota dealer does is free but he said they put it on a lift and check everything out (fluids, look for leaks, will test AHC etc...). Wondering if they could visually asses the TB then?
Or do I just suck it up and drive 700 miles and have it replaced when I get back home?
