for a 1994 land cruisers with that many ks ,shouldnt cost you an arm and a leg
the early 80 series landcruisers went through brake pads alot (again depending how you drive them)make sure ALL the brakes are fine
dont trust the car yard report,get an independant report done on the car could save you lotsa $$$ down the track,some reports are that thorough they can tell the thickness of the paint work
IMO id be buying a turbo diesel,especially if towing they walk all over the 4.5 petrol
timing belts usually get done every 100,000ks
good luck with purchase,they are a good 4x4

Getting the car checked by RACV on friday... Wont be doing any towing, so i guess the petrol will be fine..
