Been searching for a 120 for awhile. Just found a one owner '04, 176k miles, and the maintenance record shows the timing belt replacement at 140k. Should this be a concern?

Been searching for a LC for awhile. Over the course of a year I've had a LX470 and two GX470s slip out of my fingers. If anyone has any leads or vehicles they're going to be putting up for sale, please reach out to me. Thanks.

So I'm just about certain about getting a GX in my area. Lexus quoted me $1625 for the 180k maintanence which is timing belt,water pump, filters, balancing, and rotation. Should anything else be done? Also, premium or regular. It's the VVti which I've heard people use regular with no problems.

So I'm back in the market for a LC, and my neighbor is selling her '04 GX470. I test drove it today, and the air suspension is dead. I'm pricing out what needs to be repaired if I buy this vehicle, so any cheap and good kits are appreciated. I'm not looking for a crazy lift either, maybe...

Anyone here have or know of any builds? I've been looking at these as alternatives to a J120 or J100, and want to know if the reliability is just as good as those. It would be used primarily for overlanding, not rock climbing.

Precisely

A 4th Gen 4Runner is something I really want, but I kid you not a GX in my area with the same mileage is cheaper than the SR5. I was seriously going to purchase a GX before this, but I hate that barn door so ******* much.

Nope

Hey I think everyone is learning something here. Most of all that I made a poor decision.

I've always asked them how I could sign, and I never was told or thought of that. I'll be sure to think of that in the coming months.

All read "short credit history" when I've been paying bills for ~5 years. Been told at dealers I've never had a "big amount" to pay off, most I paid off was my limit of $1500 on a card. Reading everyone's replies just made me realize I should buy in cash.

Yes I have a near 800, all the banks and CUs near me told me I needed a cosigner. I'm going to assume b/c of my age I'm a huge liability to them. Also I make more than enough from retail to pay for all my expenses and a car payment right now while saving more than 50% of my checks. Also I do...

You gave me some great ideas. After all, he didn't want to sell me a J120 at his dealership because I pointed out it needed work before I bought it. Maybe I should visit that again and tell him to give me the shop so I can fix it lol
