Buying Gs300 Sport - What Do I Look For

[ainsml]

Hi,

I have done a search on what to look for when buying and it only comes up with mark 1 and i think that t reg to w reg are mark 2, i may be wrong.

I have not really looked into them a great deal apart from knowing that they are very reliable what with being toyota.

Well what i want to know is i will be looking at around the w reg 75000 mile mark i have never bought cars with this sort of milage before as i tend to go for low milage cars 15,000 - 30,000 miles. is milage a problem on these cars and whats ready to go on cars at 70 + sort of milage. when are cambelts due etc.

Is there a guide i can read that will tell me what to look for?

any relevant help would be really great as i would like to know as much as possible.

Thanks in advance

Matt

excellent, any opinions on the 75k bit or should i just not ask!!!

[ColinBarber]

75k is fine. Just check ball joints etc. for wear as they can go from 60k upwards. Cambelt is due @ 100k miles.

[ainsml]

what is that the first cambelt at 100k or is the first one at 50k?

also did the sport come with sat nav or is that just the se.

Thanks for your help.

[ColinBarber]

cambelt depends on age. 1998 models have a 9k mile service schedule and a 63k cambelt change. 1999+ have a 10k mile service schedule and 100k cambelt change.

Nav is an option on both the SE and sport

cheers, also one last question what is the difference between spec on the sports and se models.

Many Thanks really been helpful.
