Default is it a good deal?

first i live in the middle east
and we don't have the SC400 here


there is one exported from the US with 148k miles in it

it needs a paint job and some work though

he wants 4800 US$ for it

and that's a pic of it


is it a good deal?

KBB gives me 5500 for a car like that with slight exterior damage. So, given that your region does not have this specific car, I'd say its a good deal. As long as you have no issues finding parts.

Most Supra parts will be (suspension) and LS (motor).

I think you answered your own question by saying they don't sell the car there....

that looks exactly like my car but mine is in much better condition and much less miles :P

like the others said, exterior is easy to fix because its just painting and money. check the condition of the interior, especially the leather on the chairs because interior can be costly to replace.

if you have a source for replacement mechanical parts then it would be worth considering..... because costs for parts can be expensive if theres no available source.

here are some websites we use in america to check car used valves. www.kbb.com or www.edmunds.com

why don't u import your own? does it cost a lot?
