New to LC- need the experts help! (1 Viewer)

[2miles2go]

As the title states, I’m looking to purchase my first LC. I came across this one but the service records seem to be lacking. For almost 200k in miles, I’d expect to see more. Would love feedback which will also help me going forward to answer my own questions.

Thanks in advance.

Plug the VIN into the Toyota Owners site and see what comes up there. It may have more detail on dealer services than Carfax shows.

Looks like oil changes every 8-10k miles. I only see one differential/transfer case service, I’m doing mine every 30k. It’s due for radiator flush again, but it’s probably due for a new radiator. No transmission service? I think the manual says the transmission fluid is “lifetime” which is ridiculous, but as a result lots of people don’t ever service the transmission.

12 year old 200k mile truck could last forever or have a major problem next week, it’s always a crap shoot. At least it’s a southern vehicle and you have service records at all, many don’t. I wouldn’t be too scared of the service history.

I have no clue on pricing.

As a price reference I paid 25k for an 09 about 6 months ago in NC but with 50k less miles and full service history.

according to Toyota “COOLING SYS CONCERN ~|~CUSTOMER STATES: "REPLACE RADIATOR AND THERMOSTAT" ~|~PRICE QUOTE PROVIDED ON RO# 961839 ~|~REPLACED RADIATOR AND THERMOSTAT AT CUSTOMER REQUEST” this was in 2023.

Thanks! According to the Toyota website radiator was replaced in 2023.
