LX470 for $10k

hi, I'm currently considering purchasing a 2000 LX470 with 170k miles....this will be my first LC...my wife is ill and doesn't have much time but she likes taking road trips so thot it would be a good idea to get one...

the car has had the timing belt and water pump replaced per seller....how much should I budget for any immediate repairs?

is $10k a reasonable deal for the car?

thank you

There's a lot to consider but 10k isn't a bad figure just generally speaking. How does the undercarriage look? Any rust?

Heater tees, IMO, are a good barometer for how thoroughly a car was maintained.

AHC serviced and working? Did you get a Carfax? Tires good, brakes recently re-done? Has it had a radiator yet? Battery? Windshield? Based on the years and somewhat on the miles, there's a LOT that could need to be done.
