Mechanical parts aren't so hard to get for the Soarer but glass, panels and trim watchout. Took two weeks to get 2nd hand side glass for my brother's and yet a power window regulator took 4hrs to get o.O The parts aren't "hard" to get, they just take a long time and cost a fair bit. Things to watch out for 1. Odometer, the digital is easily diddled with most common as has been said is to remove the 100,000's digit, and has been said, look for signs of bigger kms (interior wear is a good sign) while looking we came across one that said 11,000kms but even the guy selling said it was probably 111,000kms (looked like it too) 2. For the UZZ30 and JZZ30 there's not really a lot of specific things to look for, just general 3. For the UZZ31, the TV and satellite navigation will not work in australia. The tv can be changed to work here but its pricey. 4. The electromultivision screen (an touch screen option) has a habit of dieing and can be fixed but is expensive. and if that doesn't work you can't control A/C, ventilation or audio. 5. For the UZZ32 with Active suspension and yaw control, check that it works and that the hydropnumatic cylinders aren't leaking. And that the 4ws system is okay. 6. Turbo models, check for hooned out engines, turbos etc, as they are very expensive to fix/replace. 7. The v8's usually are trouble free just check general things and a full fluid change is a good idea, only use Toyota fluid in the transmission as problems arise with Dexron substitutes (including Dexron III) Usually you can find pristine examples in stock standard form with about 30,000-50,000kms on them Here's the 48,000km UZZ30 my brother got for $20,000 [Updated on: Sun, 12 January 2003 01:06] [Report message to a moderator]
