How long do these babies go for?

Hello!
I've been planning on importing an L300 for the past little while and am waiting for a good one to pop up on the auction blocks. Ideally, I'm hoping to get one with <100k km's. However, one just popped up for sale in my area that looks great but has 175k km's.
If it has been decently maintained, how much work would I likely be putting into a more heavily used L300 to keep it running smoothly?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I'd say get the one with 175 on it because it will most likely be cheaper and if it is in fact well maintained could be less of a headache. Whether a vehicle is sitting still or being driven components are still getting worn out. If you're importing yourself then there is less of a cost issue than if you buy from a dealer but you also lose out on the warranty. There is a fair amount of work and money that needs to go into these vehicles once they arrive.
