Hi everyone, I'm new to this and looking at purchasing a truck for long trips/off road. I have found an ad on craigslist for an LX470 in the Bay Area of California which interests me. I haven't taken a look at it in person yet as the high mileage is making me wonder whether it's worth the time. If someone can address the average life span of these trucks or advise on whether the high mileage is of concern that would be great. My main purpose would be for trips to LA from the Bay Area, as well as gradually building an off road rig.
I've copied the ad description below:
2002 LX470

I am selling excellent condition 2002 Lexus LX470 4D automatic Wagon/ Sport Utility 4x4. It's 8 cylinder 4.7L engine, very strong and fast. It runs perfect with no mechanical problem. The engine is functioning properly and has no issues. The transmission shifts very smoothly This would be a great commuter car for family. Lexus LX model is very reliable car.
