Help wanted to buy an old 4X4 please? Over 153,000 miles???

Hi Everyone....Im now living over on the East Coast of USA and really need some advice.

We are looking to purchase a 4Wheel Drive again...Hardly any landcruisers over here...We looked at the F150 truck but too expensive...anyway...Ive discovered that the LEXUS 470 is exactly the same as the Prado Grande??? It has a V8 Engine liters: 4.7. Inside is just identical to the Prado Grande...except the front bucket seat 6 can esky fridge aint there...typical

We are considering a vehicle and it has done 153,000 Miles. It is a 2003 model...little bit of rust as its been pulling a boat and the bloke before obviously tilted the back end into the drink a bit too often maybe?

Guys....Your Thoughts on this vehicle...what should we be looking for? what should we expect will go wrong with it....Any ideas?

Price we have bet them down to is $9k....

also....Ive told the husband (yank) that we can use toyota parts on the lexus...*we can cant we*???

Missing AUstralia....and we will be back one day...

Oh forgot to ask....we are expecting to tow a VERY LARGE POP UP dual axle 4695 lbs dry weight...(2,129 kg)

cheers lyndal
