Uncle looking to buy 295k miles 2000 LC -- too high miles?

[Eicca]

Single owner, very comprehensive service history, all work done by the dealer. Rack and pinion replaced with factory parts. Timing belt done at 250k. Not a single issue with the engine or tranny. CV boots not leaking, nor is anything else. No body damage whatsoever. All highway miles. Charcoal exterior, tan interior. Leather is in ok shape. The thing is pristine otherwise. Owner asking $7k for it. I would say its a good buy, it is a Land Cruiser after all. Just checking in for his sake.

If I was buying a 2nd 100 for say my wife or something I'd go for it at that price and description.
I just bought a 2000 with 196k miles for $9800 with service records since 20k miles and 2nd owner. Leather in great shape and pretty perfect for 14 yrs old exterior and interior. If by your signature you already have those and its another vehicle for project possibly or just driving around I'd still say go for it.

All work done at dealer can be a not so good thing.

If nothing is leaking on it and it's current on maintenance, I'd say that's in the ballpark. It be a great buy at $6k.

"All highway miles" always cracks me up.

Kinda funny that half the threads about dealers are how bad they are and people will never trust therm but when people want to buy cars they want a stack of dealer invoices to prove how well the truck was maintained

He ended up going with a different Cruiser. Get this... 2000, black, brand new tires, 103k miles for $9.5k. The family selling it had babied the crap out of it but a friend told them there was no market for them so they posted it super low. He's done a test drive already and is buying it tonight.

I just picked one up with 294K miles but for 3K. aside from ahc going out last week, maintenance meticulous, no body damage and beautiful interior (except driver seat rip)..

lx is my daily driver and the lc100 is the trail beast. hope someone else picks up the high mileage lc that was passed on.. on the other side of things, great score on the low mileage one.

Very humorous. Half the people here are cheap (myself included) and want to buy a 100 that a non-cheap person owned and took care of.

The overwhelming majority of dealers have great resources and can easily take care of their "screw ups." But it's usually the "oil change" only people that come along with their weird vehicles and problems that lead to customer perceived dealer screw ups. So..... Don't be a infrequent dealer customer that complains about dealers. You sound unintelligent.

Yep, that's a deal.
