Hi, I was looking to get a used car, saw a ES300 '93 ad for $7,000 OBO. It has done 125K miles, black, leather, manual, alpine 6 cd changer. This is my first car so I have no clue as to how to proceed.... Now for the q's.... 1. What is the normal life of the engine/transmission?? Is 125K little high?? 2. Any specific things I need to check before buying? 3. How do I find a mechanic near the sellers place to do a 150/300-point inspection.... Thanks in advance.... Fun! Anand
