Default What to look for when buying a used SC300/400

So I have a question for all you car experts out there. I dont know much about the Toyota/Lexus cars. I am in the market for an SC300. I was just wondering what everyones advice would be when looking for one of these cars? They all seem to have over 120K on average. Anything major known issues? What should I be looking for when test driving the car? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

Do us a favor and search "common issues" before posting please.

Reading that sticky thread up there won't hurt either.

ive read most of the stickys..didnt know what terms to use for search. Maybe there should be a sticky on common terms to use in order to help people like us instead of making us newbies feel like we are being a bother. We all gotta start somehwere...

there should be a sticker under the hood(near the passanger side headlight) that lets you know when the timing belt was replaced.


http://usedcartips.org/ has lots of good advise for buying any car.
