this should be the 1FZ engine right? highly reliable but in terms of fuel efficiency , this does around 4-7 depending on how heavy your foot is.. my friend used to own a fully loaded Cygnus back in the day.. super comfortable ride.. in your case..since it has 250k on the clock you might need to expect a full engine overhaul but if the previous owner has done the services on time with genuine parts you can easily do another 50-100k .. you might need to do the running repairs, replace the shockies etc.. cannot say much about the service cost as my friend sold it in 2016 im sure it wasn't that expensive..

Specific reason to go for a petrol version??
Besides v8, 4.7 fuel economy

My uncle got a 100 series diesel one.
1 HD T engine, V6.
4.35 on the clock, still runs great, without engine repair yet.

Requires 14 litres of oil per time, V6 engine block longer compared to V8.
