Buying a Prado...

Hi Guys,
My wife and I are looking at getting a Prado sometime in the near future.
Have around $25k to spend, and have had a look at redbook valuations regarding year & km's, but thought I'd ask here on the forum about how many k's a Prado is good for?
I'm trying to decide whether to get a newer one with a few more km's on the clock or a slightly older one with less kms?
Also any tips on what to look for when buying one second hand would be great..
Thanks in advance for your help...
Cheers.

Looking at a petrol V6 with a manual transmission....
Given a good service history how many kms is too many?
We're aiming to get about 5 years out of one and will probably drive 100,000 kms over that time....

just look in the some good dealership..sometimes you can get a good bargain an 03-04 model with 70,000k..will be around 30t..pls dont forget to ask about their extended warranty it really helps
