Default Looking to buy a 97 sc300..need sum help

aiight..i'm looking into buying an sc, and i've been looking at alot of them and so far i've found one in my price range and one i really like, so i was wonering if yall can help me out here.

tha car i found is a 97 sc300 blk exterior and cream interior its clean as hell both in and out, but the problem is that tha mileage on it is way too high.
now for $4,950 with 240,000 mile on it...is it worth getting???

Bear in mind you can sell the 97+ up kit for about $1200+, so if you end up with a bad motor or anything, you can still get a portion of what you paid back just with the kit alone...

If it is mechanically sound start the bidding at about 75% of the asking price and go from there... I personally wouldn't drop more than $3800-3900 on it.
