Default good price for a Celsior?

hey guys, came across this site and found a whack of wicked info! just wanna say thnx! helped me learn lots about these cars.

im looking into a celsior, it's landed, registered, safety inspected n all.

the price somewhat concerns me though,

- 98,xxxkm, Automatic
- 4.0L V8 DOHC 32V (1UZ-FE)
- After Market Coil Over Adjustable Sports Suspension
- Full Automatic A/C, Cruise Control
- It has been lowered
- Professionally reconditioned
(New Timing belt, Pullies and Water Pump, All new
fluid and filters)
- Safety Inspected and BC Registered
link for this car is, here
the car is 8800$ CDN, im going to be looking at it tomorrow.

what should i look for as common issues? I went to kbb.com and found a "excellent" LS 400 from a private sale is just shy of 7g US

any opinions? thanks!

premium isn't required but if you drive your car hard, its recommended. I drive hard so i put premium only. Besides, retarding the timing will lower gas mileage so there is no benefit. Only lower gas mileage and a slower car, that doen't run as smooth.

use the search to answer most of your questions. I'm sure they have all been answered.

ill need better milage, gas is predicted to go up, so i figure ill do typical intake and exhaust to help airflow,

my friend said it wouldnt be needed and i was agreeing, im not advancing the timing at all and i dont plan on driving it like i stole it since i need it to be reliable.

im just all about a comfy ride with my tunes pumped.
