Outer Limits 4x4 Board

G'Day all, my mate is in the league to buy a secondhand Landcruiser from the mid nighties and has a couple questions such as what kilometre range is to many? what is ideal for a second handy one he was looking at a 95 model turbo but it had done just over 400 000 this seems a little steep for me but i not sure what is considered to many for a landcruiser?

To a certain extent i dont think the kmhs are a huge issue, have a closer look at the condition and more important its service history.
We looked at a hilux the other week for a mate genuine 185kmhs had by the looks a pretty hard life which the car reflected more like it had done 400 plus, yet seen plenty of cruisers that looked and run like they hadnt done much over a couple of hundred kmhs only to be told 400plus,
sure check it out good if the ks are up, but if its been well maintained and serviced theres no reason why it wont do a heap more ks,
