Default Purchase of a 2008 LS460

I'm in the process of purchasing a 2008 LS460. It has 120,000 klm or 70,000 miles. Is there anything I need to pay particular attention to. I have done a short test drive. No initial issues. The brakes felt very aggressive but that could just the difference. I'm going back today, they are going to put the car on a hoist so I can look for any rust. No code lights. This is from a smaller dealership, not Lexus.

Beside things common to all cars, take a pry bar and check front suspension for excessive wear. There's a FAQ at the top of page that should help. Also, records of maintenance. Low mileage but older model could be a great find or a neglected money pit.
