I just saw this car on craigslist and im very interested in it. How is the price? IS there anything that needs to be done around these miles? Is the engine interference or non interferece? I want this car badd.

Ok the car looks nice, make sure it has a clean car fax report, to check that there is no accidents, correct milage etc. The 2Jz is a interference engine, so it needs to have its timing belt changed, this is often done at the 90k service. Ask if the 90k service was done, if not lower the price, because the 90k service is over 1000 dollars. Only two other things, the six disc CD changer is a big problem it often gets jammed( like mine) so you need a new one or aftermarket. Also if you drive when it is snowing, winter tires are a must for a IS300. That's it, others might chime in, good luck.
