Should You Buy 2002 Sc430 With High Miles On The Clock?

[Zdeno]

Hello everybody,

I would like to ask if anyone has an experience with high miles on sc430. I have a chance to buy 2002 sc430 with 180K miles for $10K. It is one owner and timming belt was done on 140K. It hase all service documentation. Car needs new left front speaker and front brakes.

I am little affraid of high miles but I used to own 1995 LS400 in the last and it has been great car for me.

Does the car needs a lot when 11 years old and almost 200K on the clock???

Thanks a lot!

I just bought a 2003 for $ 12,000 with 119,000 miles and I love it! These are great cars, but make sure to check out CarFax and Autocheck before buying - a lot of sellers try to sell cars with rebuilt titles. If you can get a VIN # you can call any Lexus dealer and they can give you the service information, and if the carfax is fine then you should consider it.
