Default is paying $8500 for 92 sc300 to much??

hey guys I am looking to buy a black 92 sc300 5spd with tan leather interior mint condition. The car has 106xxx miles.

The Original owner is a middle aged woman and has all maintenance records and all up to date service done.

Is paying $8500 too much??

or should i get a 92 black 5speed with 185xxx in not so mint condition instead for $2300??

or a 5 spd pearl white 97 sc300 for $8000 with 136xxx miles??

A bit much, but I've been looking for a 5spd in good condition for ages. I personally might pay it. But overall, yea too much..
I'd say $5-6K is about right.

if i get the one for 2300 id do a 1jz swap...if i get the 97 id probably just keep it the way it is and overhaul the suspension.
