i wana get this what u tink?

hey guys,

my uncle is gonna bring down a 2000 toyota camry for me from the states and there is nothing wrong with the car is really good shape but the only prb is that it has 200k miles on it already...

im wondering if its worth it for me to get it and then later on drop a new motor with lower clicks in it?

im gettin it for a price....

ya, like punk says, there is more in a car to wear than just the engine, things you wouldn't normally think of replacing on a 4 year old car....

i agree too many things will go wrong, i have a friend with a 2001 Accord with 360,000 km... (live in the boonies and drive like 500 km to and from work everyday)

so much **** has gone wrong, even tho it's only almost 3 years old, alot of it is still under warranty but it's sitll a hassle you don't need...

but i mean just the shell of that car is worth more than what im paying for....
