Default Buying a 01 GS300. HELP NEEDED

I Am Thinking About Buying A 01 Gs300 Withi 137k. I Am Buying For $9500. Is That A Fair Price? What Common Problems Should I Look For?

What Problems Will I Experience In The Future?

How Does Reliablity Of The Gs300 Compare To A Ls400?

My Ls400 Has 250k. Will A Gs300 Go To 250k With No Problems Too?

What Is The Most Costly Repair A Gs300 Owner Has Dont On Their Car?

I bought my GS300 new in 2000 and it's about to roll over 130k miles. The most I've spent on unexpected expenses in more than 7 years is 1) the door lock actuator and 2) the ball joints. Other than that, I've not had any major expenses. But I should also point out that I've had every scheduled maintenance completed on time. The company that does my maintenance pointed out other GS300's they work on that have up to 400k miles on 'em....I'm gonna try to break that record.
