Just bought an LX470!

This was on facebook for a while and sounded pretty sketchy, body damage, looked like bumper was misaligned from an accident. I hope im wrong though. That is the best color at least.

Was this in NC by chance?

Yes sir

The water pump failure (?) sounds suspicious. I'd do a compression check asap and be looking for missing coolant. What happened to the serpentine belt?

The further I get into it the less I think it had an issue with the water pump. The fan bracket pulley locked up and threw off the serpentine belt. I'm thinking they mistook the fan pulley for the water pump, as it was full of coolant when I bought it.

Honestly not that bad, not a ton of body damage and bumper seems straight to me.

Get a scan gauge or Ultra Gauge so you can at least monitor engine temps when driving. Just be prepared to do a lot of work. Doesn't mean you will need to. Just be prepared. And doing the work yourself does save you money, but it still adds up.
