Default Is 175K a lot of miles for a 97 ES300 and are these rare options, Trac cont, Adj Susp

I was wondering if 175K is a lot of miles for a 97 ES300 and are these rare options on that car:

Trac Control
Adjustable Suspension

I am going to be selling my brothers ES300 and want to get an idea how much to list it for, we are in San Jose Ca. Any thoughts?

I think the adjustable suspension is rare, but Im a gen 2 guy. I think the traction control is pretty common. 175K isnt really a lot IF the car was taken care of. If it was beaten on and suffering from lack of maintenance syndrome than forget it.

the adjustable suspension is very rare, but i don't think it will make the price much higher then any other 97 es with those miles because its expensive as hell to fix, but i think with those miles, you could get about 5-7 grand for it i think

Decent maintenance records or lack of would dictate my paying price at that mileage. I would say 5-6000 tops with records or 4-5000 without. List it at 6500 in Cali

Thanks, My brother has records for it from John at Exact motorsports, the locals around here know who he is. I was going to say around the $6k range, He would be happy to get that for it.

The adj suspension still works. When you replace those struts, anyone know how expensive each strut is?

The traction control isn't too common if I remember correctly as well. Only northeast cars would have it for the most part. I'm glad mine has it.

I have a 98 AZ car and mine has traction control but non-adjustable suspension. I'd be hesitant about buying a car with that high of miles, but i'm sure if it's mechanically sound you should be able to unload it without any problems. Good luck with the sale.
