I picked up a 2003 GUIII ST-L 3L auto with 245,000kms for well under $20k. This was with a good service history, recently serviced auto and a new alternator.

I'd keep looking until you find something with a decent service history or lower kms.

I picked up my 2001 Patrol. 230,000km Auto. Perfect condition and a ton of extras, i mean alot. Drives like a new one
i payed 20k for mine, but the car was perfect and had everything i wanted really. Dont have to spend anything on it.
