SILVER Star
Trading my 2014 GX460 with 96k for a 2013 LX570 with 108k (asking $35k). No rust, looks really clean, interior is one of the best I've looked at around this price point. My question is one that I haven't really found after searching here, which is what sort of repairs am I in for? I turn all my own wrenches, so I'm not super worried about it needing things but I'd rather go in prepared. Having read through the Lexus service records, it's also one of the least "issue laden" LX's I've seen. Seems like all of them have a bunch of nitpicky type repairs, but this one has many service entries but very few issues reported.
So what that means is none of the standard "high mileage" repairs have been done. I had to do the radiator on my GX, what's the MTTF on the LX radiator? And the GX has this problem with the valley plate, does the LX suffer that sort of thing? I know the 5.7 has a timing chain so that shouldn't be an issue any time soon, but is the water pump due to fail on me? What other bigger time/ticket repairs are on the horizon if I'm sitting at 110k?
I was hoping to find a thread that identified these common repairs or maybe an expected repair schedule, but I didn't find much. If there is already a discussion on this stuff, I'm happy to kill this thread & read those who have gone before me, just show me a link! Thanks!!
