desurea Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I'm thinking about buying my sisters 1992 SC300 Lexus for $4000.00. It has 197,000 miles on it ( a lot of freeway miles). She is the original owner and it has been fairly well maintained. I have a few questions: 1. Is this a good deal? 2. How long could I expect this car to run? Meaning with the mileage so high, is it going to be breaking down soon? 3. What are the problems with this car? Note: I don't expect to be going out of town often, I'll use it for daily driving around the town. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruznroadking Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Head gaskets are a common problem with high mileage inline sixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmalik00 Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 that is a ok price .... if you have an outlet at an auction you can beat that price for that amount of miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
