Default Restoration

I own a 1992 SC300. It has 135,000 miles and is in good mechanical condition as I have kept all maintenance and repairs current.

I have been considering replacing this fine automobile with something newer, but when I look at the cost of doing so, I wonder if restoring this car makes sense.

There are enough body dings and dents to require body work and painting. Several of the accessories need repair or replacing.

I'm not a mechanic so I will need to find someone who can do this for me.

How can I find someone reputable and hopefully near the north part of Florida to explore the feasibility and cost of doing this?

Thanks for any help you guys might offer.

Tommy

Welcome to ClubLexus

It all depends on what kind of condition that car is in to determine if its worth restoring and can flip it for a profit, i think we need more detail info and pics to make a better judgement. Also what are you looking/thinking of getting for her before and after restoring if you decide to do so.
