What should I look for?

**lpugfan2004** · 08-02-2007, 06:40 PM

Going to look at a 2000 GT-S on Saturday 6spd 149,000 miles...

Any known specific 7th gen problems i should look for? Anything that could stand out to be a massive problem?

Thanks guys

Broken lift bolts is probably the most known problem.

Can't help you much on the GT-S, but did want to say that these cars are a heck of a lot of fun. My first Toyota, original owner of a 2k GT and truly the best car I have owned. 150 K KM (about 90k miles) and this car just feels broken in. I intend to run it another 7 years. Did I mention I still love how it drives and how it handles. Great economy, looks, and I love to drive it. There is nothing still on the market that can match it. Especially the GT-S. Only downer is the need for premium with todays fuel prices. Get a good one! Best to you in your search. Dave.
