193K
auto
Pearl white
Tan leather interior.
Interior is one of the better i have seen for the mileage no rips. just a few minor cracks that could i keep a close eye on.
has 2 sets of tires (Blizzak snow tires and Michelin all seasons)
new rear brake pads and rotors (4K miles)
front pads and rotors done about 12K ago
new serp belt and tensioner (2K miles)
timing belt and water pump were done at 120K miles
new radiator (less then 500 miles)
K&N drop in filter.

this is my girlfriends car she loves the car but she puts on about 3,500 miles a month on the car and the car runs 93 so it's starting to get expensive for her driving so much.

here's a quick pic i can get more tomarrow if you'd like.

If you don't mind paying for premium and possibly more higher maintenance costs, then go for it.

cost to own will be higher, gas will be higher. however the 2jzge is a GREAT motor and is as reliable if taken care of as the 5sfe. not to mention its has tons of potential and lots of style.

yeah i'm getting 2gs on top of the car for mine. Will be throwing in my system and hids. Something for the summer until i finance a car.

LOL!.. i wouldn't do it- just because you already have a project car. And this will easily become another. And when he said.. " any interest in trading your camry for a 1996 Lexus SC300 adding cash on your end though. ($2000) " ..that means YOUR CAR + $2000 for his 190K lexus.

+1.

[bigbird]

some clearificatio would be good, i take that to mean he wants to offer his lex + cash. if he wants 2 grand AND your camry...then no.

To tell you the truth I think he is just trying to get rid of that car. The whole premium gas costing more money is complete bs in my opinion. The extra 3$ each fillup isnt enough to warrant getting rid of a car.

Personally I would keep the cam since u know its in good shape and has alot of life left in it. Buying a maybe 3rd or 4th hand 93 with 190k is to risky IMO.

The cams worth at least 4 grand and if you have to throw in 2grand then hes nuts. Now if he throws in 2 grand it might be reasonable.

Like everyone else said if hes giving you $2000 It MAY be worth it. Almost 200k sounds like a lot of miles to me. Plus who knows what may be wrong with it. It could have a slipping trans or maybe never have had regular maint. It is a tempting offer if hes giving you $2000 tho.

He says "adding cash on your end though" implying you are to pay the 2G's.

Not worth it. Too high mileage, plus like someone else said, you have no idea what is wrong with it. There's always something wrong.

That's stereotyping. Not all cars with high mileage have something wrong with them

Yeah thats a 60K differance. Thats a LOT in my book.

[92Squiggy]

Why do people assume their 16+ year with 150k+ miles Lexus' are worth so much?

...anyways I wouldnt do it.

[ONE_to_HATE]

i wouldn't do it.
