High mileage GS450H - risks?

[Apoc101]

I’ve managed to agree £10k for the car. Hopefully is a sensible price for the age and mileage. Will keep a bit aside for any unforeseen costs

Well done. I guess it's all very well people suggesting a Lexus is good for 300k, 100k is 'just run in' etc. But sooner or later this theory needs to actually get put to the test and a higher mileage purchase made. 

Higher mileage cars at 150k plus are reasonably common on the US second hand market, even from more reputable dealers. It's not seen as such a big deal as it is here although they obviously do a far higher proportion of highway driving.
