Should i buy a 1992 SC300 for $1000
The offer seems to good to be true but this kid is going off to collage and doest want to take his car and is pretty desperate to sell. He was asking 2000 and i went and looked at it but didnt buy it. He texted me today saying he would take $1000.
1992 Sc300
110k miles
Clean title
lots of maint. records
red
Automatic
Grey interior pretty much all leather is shot. both front and rear seats.
door handles are busted x2
power steering leak
coolant loss( uknown reason but no overheating)
paint is in decent condition
guages work
AC works
AC screen is half dead
I dont need a car really. but 1000 seems like to good of an offer. or am i thinking this car is worth more than it is.

I would doubt the mileage validity if the interior is shot. 110 is low mileage for an SC. Should look good at 110. Take it to a mechanic for a once over. Try $500-750.

still 20+ years of sitting in the sun with no tinted windows will do that in California.

"I don't need a car, really..." is not a good starting point on a car like this as described.
Takes a lot of TLC and money to get our cars to good stature so my advice is not to get involved with this one unless you are committed to bring it to the level you expect.
We will support you either way

Deep pockets, good job, mechanical knowledge, lots of time & patience,tools. If you have all of these then buy it & build it well & you'll have a very good car that is fun to drive & unique.

$1000 sounds like a good deal. Only thing that scares me is the coolant loss issue, could be a bad headgasket. Headgaskets are fairly easy(if time consuming) on the 2JZ, but then you have to worry about other issues like the head being warped, etc.
