Hey guys. I'm 98% ready to buy my 2003 GX. It has 177k miles. Maintenance records are pretty up to date and the timing belt was done at 94k miles. Its almost about time for the next one so I'll make sure I cover all my bases when it comes to that one. I'm not as experienced so I decide it to take it to nearest Lexus dealership for a pre-purchase inspection. Here is what they told me:
I'm not concerned about the brake flush, tires and alignment since I planned on doing those anyway. Valve cover gaskets I can do whenever the new timing belt kit and water pump go in. Rack and pinion felt fine when I drove the GX for almost 2 hours so I don't think it needs immediate attention. CV Boot Kit I think like everything else it is overpriced but I guess doesn't concern me as much as the Rear Main Seal. That will be my main concern since I know its a lot or work to replace those. Thoughts??
TIA
