HQuakers Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I am thinking about purchasing an SC300, but the my only concern is that is has 250k miles on the stock 2jzge engine. The tranny was replaced w/an auto supra tranny, so I'm not worried about that. I figure in about 20 or 30k miles, I am going to replace the internals, as well as anything else that might be done. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernsc300 Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 check for oil leaks, burning oil, and go get a compression test. if all is good then buy it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HQuakers Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 Well, the only problem is...the car is 5000 miles away...im on the east coast and he is on the west coast... Here is the car: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...2480193229&rd=1 Opinions? I think it is a great starter SC. I mean, it's either that or an Acura Legend coupe...I can't decide...

alexR Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 you cant find an SC thats better than that for 10 grand? You could get one with under a hundred thousand miles on it that would last forever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HQuakers Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 I could find one for less than that...but I like everything about this one...nice $5k paintjob, bomex kit, suspension (eibach & tokiko), roll cage, new tranny...I mean, do you know of anyone that is selling thier SC resembling this one?

HQuakers Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 SouthernSC300...it has the supra tranny...but the stock 2jzge engine (NOT the GTE)...also, it's either $7500 without the Volks, or $9000 with the volks. He reduced the price for me. wantasc400: Send me an e-mail...HQuakers@aol.com. I am interested to hear more about this car. Is it yours? As long as there are minor things wrong, I'd be willing to take it...I mean, I can fix anything minor myself as long as I can get the parts. I really need a car that's gonna have a good exterior...interior I can fix myself w/some people I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantasc400 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 man...i dont know about you but ive not seen cars go for much longer after 250,000 miles...infact ive not even seen that many...also we all know a car driven by a granpa and an enthusiast is completely different. The car i saw...is completely stock. there was a brand new paint job a few k miles ago. its the pearly white so its hard to match. the car is completely driveable and the timing belt was recently changed. the person has all the records and it was driven by somebody 50+. the work you would need is the side view mirror adjusting thing..memory seats...a little work on the cd changer...and probably have the car washed on the inside..the drivers side seat is pretty rough too..i can mail you a few pics i took..where on the east coast are you ?? I kno this is not the place to post this...BUT...i am selling my C280 mercedes. MINT. LOOKS BRAND NEW...ALL SERVICE RECORDS..124K MILES...90%HIGHWAY...MP3 P[LAYER WITH BOSE...BLACK ON GREY. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU KNOW ANY ONE INTRESTED. fahadgaffar1@yahoo.com Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southernsc300 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 where does it say it has a 2jzge in it? all i see is the statement " The car runs very strong. Great as is or perfect for a complete supra swap" i dunno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great as is or perfect for a complete supra swap" i dunno Well, I have been talking to the owner for quite some time now, and he confirmed it has the GE engine in it. What he means by a "complete supra swap" is that it already has the supra tranny in, just needs the supra engine. wantaSC: delaware isn't too bad of a hike. When you get out of work, drop me an e-mail with some pix. I am at work now, but I can roam freely... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
