Default Buying a 98 GS400

Hello Everyone!

I am looking at a 98 GS400 with 154k miles on it. Timing belt service has been done. New tires and new brakes. A/C replaced earlier this year. Sounds like the starter is sticking some on crankup and I don't think the ball joints have been replaced. Are there any other common issues/major problems/maintenance items with these cars that I am over looking?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Ask if the water pump has been replaced.
