Car buying advice! 92 es300 5SPEED

[CamBOT]

Hi!

I wanted to swap out my auto v6 Camry for a 5 speed gear box. But the associated costs are too high to justify swap. Since I love the gen 3 model years i found a 92 es 300 --- 5 speeeed!

But there are issues. Apparently the car is in good condition. Only thing that bothers me is the 320 k km the car has (200 k miles)

If the car is in good condition and i end up paying 1500 - 2000 cad is it worth my time to buy this car. I know these cars are super rare.

I know that i can get an engine swapped into place for cheap, so thats not an issue. And I dont mind the 3vz, even if i get another jdm spec 3vz.

opinions please! will post pictures soon when i go to see it!

do it...swap everything from the es into your camry and do a front end conversion

do it. if you decide to swap it into the camry you'll be saving a ton of weight and gain some speed MPG's things of that nature

sounds pretty good. same as teh camry but nicer and looks a little better...imo. weight shouldnt be to much of a concern since the tranny weighs alot less then the auto anyways.
