Default What should i do?

There is a local guy selling a '92 Toyota Soarer 1JZ-GTE twin turbo with only 44,000 kilometers (27,500 miles). He's asking $7750 for it but im having a hard time selling my SC400 I really want this but im sure some of you have some cash to drop for this. Seller had it for $11k about 8 months ago or so. I think he might go down a little bit. Is there any problems getting it registered? He said he never got it registered in the states only in Canada so.....?

I would drop your price on yours, to help sell it in your area, then ask for a bottom dollar with cash in hand. I dont know about getting it registered.

those miles are extremely low------try not to let this one get away.

although im concerned a little bit about the condition of the engine bay------looks like its been through alot more than 27000 miles.

Although maybe it just needs a cleaning.

Keep your eyes and ears open for anything fishy.

Let it get away. Its a stock RHD Sc300. Whats so great about it, aside from the fanboyism?


Just buy an sc300 and 1j it, have the same results but be legal.

please define 'fanboyism' as ive never heard that term.

to me thats the whole beauty of it---stock---rhd with low mileage.

I am not into swapping engines as it is a risk everytime.

Why would u want to buy an sc300---buy a used engine with who knows how much real mileage on it--pay someone to swap it---when you could have the real thing right here?

I dont get it but to each his own.
