So firstly hi everyone :-) first post here after lurking as a guest for a month.

Recently the floorboard gave away on my old car and so I did some research and decided to have a look at buying a soarer :-). Was first exposed to them when my brother (who is a member here) bought one and fell in love with them.

Being a P-plater in vic i'm restricted to the 3.0L SC300. The JZZ31 I believe? Not too knowledgable with the JZZ terms

Now I have found three soarers on carsales which suite me and my price range. One is quite meh. the other looks like it has been in good condition with 140,000kms (approximating here).

The third however is what caught my eye.
http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/toyota-soarer-1996-11851747?base=1216&vertical=Car&Range= Price:Min,Max~1&Page=2&eapi=2&sort=Price&cr=29&__N=1246%201247%201252%201282%201216&silo=Stock&find= soarer%7CCarAll

It's a 1996 Soarer SC300
RWC and Compliance
70,500 KMS
18inch Alloys

Hasn't got a large amount of details which I picked up on first and also I have been told the digital odometer can be altered and was referred to the following article as a source: http://www.carsguide.com.au/news-and-reviews/buyers-guide/toyota_gt_soarer_lexus_sc300_sc400_1991_20 00_buyers_guide

Brother is on a holiday at the moment, and isn't back for another 10 days so I'm waiting for him to return so I can check it out. But I thought I'd briefly and vaguely get some assistance in things to check or whether it is too good to be true. Because the low KMS and 9800 ONO would be great.

In the images the car looks great. few small scratches in the first picture which i'm fine with for now, interior looks sweet. But is there anyway I can know or be reasonably confident that the owner hasn't altered the odometer if that's even possible, or whether there's something that I can look out for which might cause me to avoid buying it
