Hi im looking at getting a toyota cressida, got a decent job now need a decent car to match it 
now to the pics
Engine pics
Body
Interior
Ive spend the better part of the morning searching through the forums and basically its a solid engine but a few HG problems. Which has been replaced in the top
Now for the qds
I know it shares the same eng with the supra of the same age, my question is has anyone worked on any of these engines and know any of there quirks?
This engine has had some major work on it, ie it had poor compression due to the head and also burnt valves. What could cause this?, but it has had 2k worth of work (have spoken to the mechanic and have seen receipt) The head has been replaced and pressure tested and valves replaced and engine has been totally checked out by mechanic i trust. Theres no compression problems, and idles/runs like a dream. BUT it has done 280k k's with the work being done at 275k.
Ive looked at a few otheres and theyve all got different things wrong, ones eng sounds so sick and the others the interior is fubared. This one has the best of both worlds, but the eng has doen a lot of ks and this recent work has me a little worried.
Oh and the cost is $5k down from 5990, its from a dealer  but the car is in perfect nick.
basically what should i be looking for to see if theres any residual damage from the old head and burnt valves?
