Interested in buying, so many curbstoners out there I'm hoping it's legit.
Most of all, given the mods, is it worth 6k on a 200k motor.. and the suggestion that a new/used motor costs $500 raises an eyebrow?
Any input would help, thanks.

Interior:

This SC300 has perfect wheel fitment and very clean lines from the Auto Couture kit. The ride is smooth on the straights and tight in the turns. The interior feels very sporty with the TT Supra seats and IS300 steering wheel. Engine is unmodified for reliability although if you know about the 2JZ-GE engine it is very long lived, 300k mi is not unheard of. The car has been meticulously maintained and I have all records of parts and service. If you ever do need a replacement engine, they are widely available for only $500 with 30k miles or less. This car is also perfect for a TT Supra 2JZ-GTE or 1JZ-GTE from Soarer.
Reason for selling is that I am moving to Big Bear, SC is too low for rough roads, I am getting a Subaru.
Only negatives with car is small crack on lower area of front bumper, small paint chip on one rim, and radio was recently stolen so car will not come with radio. Power steering has very slow leak, cheap to fix, i just dont have the cash "

Clean from what I can tell. Might be worth the money but just slightly high on price. Especially since it's not one of the 3,883 5-speed cars nor is it even the more desirable black interior cars.
$500 30k mile motors? Please point me in their direction. I'll take 2.
You CAN get a motor for $500 but its not going to be near 30k miles.

My point exactly.
Listing all parts in detail assumes that the seller knows what he's talking about and then all the sudden, 500$ for an engine..
