Default 1992 sc 400 engine

I was looking At buying one of these but the engine has over 200k. Is it worth it to still get. How long will it last? Thanks for any help.

MY sc400 is going on 300,000 miles well almost 299,xxx... I'll be taking a picture of it when it rolls over that, then 2jzgte that one afterward. Motor is running strong still. Eats about quart of oil every 5k miles. Other then that it's a champ, original motor, chassis, never been wrecked either...

There are lower mileage examples out there to be found. Any 92-94 sc400 motor should be a direct drop in and even the 95 engine will most likely be okay. The 1uz can go well over 300,000 miles with proper care but I still don't think I'd buy one with 200,000 already on it. Check the classifieds here and even ebay, they practically give the things away.
