    Advise or thoughts 4.2 purchase...

    hi folks
    Am in need of advise / thoughts on potential purchase of a manual 4.2 6cyl turbo Patrol ST with 315000km
    Am heading out tomorrow morning to have a look and plan on getting it.
    Have had a search and read on previous posts Just wonde3red if anyone cared to share thoughts on a vehicle that is basically 15 years old with 315000km on it.

    Have had a chat with the vendor. Says its completely stock, not had rebuild but has regular maintenance history. I will check the log.
    No mods at all. AM a bit concerned with the K's on it wondering if its due for a re build. should it be blowing any smoke at that age and if so is it a concern. Vendor recons its never towed anything bigger than a box trailer to the tip. Rarely if ever been in 4wd. Would that be an issue.

    Redbook indicates low teens but its on for around 20K. I understand this is only a guide.

    This will be my first Patrol , bearing in mind I can get something around 2008 for similar $$$ and as am probably the final owner of this vehicle am wondering just what should I offer and what am i up for regarding upcoming repairs. any advise or thoughts appreciated.

    cheers
    Dan
