Default advice on buying a GS

well im going out to look at a GS4 and a GS3 today both are 98 the 4 has 112K and the 3 has 104. they're asking 16 for the 4 and 12 for the 3. i love the gs4 cuz i use to have a ls4 and just love the v8 power and grunt. is there any concern i should have buying a high mileage lexus. is there anything i should watch for and should i factor in the upcoming 120K mile tune up into the price. any comment would help me making my chioce for one of these cars. Its either these 2 or an is3.

Get a Carfax report, the maintenance records and have the vehicle inspect by Lexus Service. Hope both car had a 90K service done so the water pump and timing belt are replaced.

either one i will try to get a mechanci to check the car out before buying. the engine (v8 or i6) are both strong, the mileage isn't a problem. but the other stuff are what you wanna pay attention to
