Input on sc300 5 speed please

As some of you already know, owning any version of the 2jz motor can be quite costly to build up. So I was wondering if anyone in here knows how reliable they are in stock condition. I had an sc300 4 years ago, before I was even into cars, and crashed it. Now there is a 92 five speed near me and I want to pick it up. Only problem is it almost has 150 thou on the odometer. It's at a dealer and has one of their crap limited warrenties. Interior is flawless and the body is as well. But I just don't know if the miles are too high.

Toyota quality is always good. It will probably last for another 50K before any kind of tranny ware or engine ware begin to show up. You might have to change the clutch though. That might be the only major maintanance you'll have to do.

Take it for a test drive and see how the clutch is.
