lol they want too much money for the age and mileage etc usually. I mean i have seen many 93-98 turbs in the $50,000 range! which yea, the car may be worth it, but for the same money you can get an almost new Z06 or an NSX-t or even a used ferrari f355.

The car seems to be in perfect shape. No signs of wear anywear on the car, clean shiny paint, no dings. Leather looks its age but no cracks or even wear spots. Maintenance is one thing, having to replace major components every month and wondering if i'll make it to work or not is another.

Service history-the Toyota dealership who is selling is has maintained it since it was new, it has had every service and oil change up to date since it was new in late 92. The guy who owned it is 63 now and traded it in for a brand new car because he couldnt get in and out anymore. But he was a doctor and from what i hear kept it in perfect condition and never raced it etc etc.

No, i dont read the forum much never been here in fact. I know these blocks are iron-clad i was mainly questioning it from a reliability stand point but i think you're right on all ponts.

I'm depending on it to be a reliable daily driver for the next year to two years and i plan in that time to start upgrading things, leading up to more power. When i get my new car, a Chevy Volt, this car can stay in the garage and get some heavy mods. But you never know, i may be perfectly happy with 400hp. I just enjoy the car for the car, i dont actually NEED 800hp, its just fun to build cars you know? I think i will get a propper suspension set up, some nice rims like BBS LM's or something like that, get an engine re-map, upgrade the down pipe, inter cooler, exhaust, a few other smaller things, and still daily drive it.

Oh and another thing, the car is entirely 100% certified bone factroy stock, no mods ever whatsoever! Thats basically why i want it, it was bought new and has had one owner and he is an older doctor who kept the car up to service. Check it out; looks great!!
