2003 land cruiser Prado GXL auto petrol (dual fuel) with 316,300 km
Or
2008 land cruiser Prado GXL auto diesel with 286,533 km

any help or advice would be amazing…..

Are these your only choices?
A quick search will show you the potential problems of a D4D with high k’s. You’d need a lot more info.
As for the petrol, most gas converted car owners are now searching for the original tank and associated pipe work. Think the days of cheap gas have long gone.
I’d keep looking for a tidy petrol 120 if that’s the model you prefer. They still command a high price though.

If you are looking at 120's My preference would be towards a petrol 4.0. Motors are good for 400k+ and even towing I get 16l/100k. Diesels have been known to have a few problems that without a good pre purchase inspection may not be evident. petrols are also more fun to drive. My 2004 which I bought new still gets up and goes. But its only done 160k kms.

Yes, keep looking for a 120 petrol (non-LPG).
