Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a 1990 Toyota MR2, the 2Ltr non-Turbo. It's completely stock and in immaculate condition. The only problem is it has 360,000km on it. The engine was rebuilt at 300,000 and it just had a full service. What things should I look for when test driving the car? or should I just avoid it all together?

The mileage is a concern as it's not only the engine that's done the mileage but the suspension, transmission, differential, etc. The engine might be in good condition but there is a potential for other major mechanical repairs in the near future - rust is another problem to look out for. A lower mileage vehicle is a better option.
