Should I buy this 5 speed '97 SC300?
It has 295k miles.
The car is completely stock except for the mufflers. Comes with sales documents and paperwork from the original owner. Everything on the car works but the AC.
Seller is asking $4400 or best offer but I think i could get it for under $3k.
How well made were these SC300's?
Interior looks decent and comfy i might add.
>TWO-HUNDRED-NINETY-FIVE THOUSAND MILES
A car like that has had at least 900,000 rompings. You really wanna buy a car that's been beat on for 295k miles?
if i could get it for less than $3k i dont mind.
its only going to be a winter car.

Original owner is good but that's a fuckton of miles.
Just admit it you have dreams of a 2jz drift missile but don't have the funds or the ability.
If there is a safe bet "300k mile car" it's a one owner Lexus SC or LS
Just be ready to repair stuff that just degrades from age.
While i wouldnt recommend it as a winter daily it is a good car
That interior is very clean
Look up anything with a 2jz and youll find the lexus gs300 and such to have miles around that the engine is strong theres a reason people boost them to infinity and beyond
As long as that engine bay looks as good as the interior id say go for it but set asid some money for a couple repairs it is old and has some miles to her
Of course well never hear from you again so it really doesnt matter past this thread
what is snow tires
i never said its a one owner. its had 3 owners
if i buy it youll hear from me of course but if i don't then yeah of course.
Walk away 500k km milage is insane.
300K is 50k beyond what I'd consdier to be impressively but prohibitively high miles. It may well be a well-maintained car with lots of life left in it but asking 4400 for it is way too high.. I'd spend 2k tops on it.
Have you looked at hte undercarriage?
