A SC300 in 1994 was the same as a SC430 retail? I don't think so?

i have the window sticker from the 2nd sc300 i bought it was a 1995 renaissance (SP?) red coupe, its sticker said something almost 50K it was 49,XXX so not as much as the sc430 but still quite a hefty price tag. i still love the car so much this is my 4th lexus, and 3rd sc300 i am on right now, they are just the my most favorite of cars....

i bet thats more money in today's terms than what a sc430 would cost.

like i said before :P

I know alot of guys that want to pick up a old SC since its a Lexus and they can show off for the girls. Trouble is they want to spend 4-5k and then they cant find one!! I always remind them, the SC was/is the top of line Lexus model and has always commanded a 45-50k+ price of admission.

To this day I see 93's going for 11-12k, now THAT is resale value

I just found out via www.cars.com. that a 1994 sc300 commanded about 38,000. While the GS commanded about 41,000. The sc400 was an extraordinary 50,500. wow.....

um.. thats not a resale value..
check out the toyota supra..
when they were first introduce, they were roughly 50k
now they still can be sold for 30k with decent mileages..
now THAT is resale value

Performance from a 32-valve, 4.0-liter, aluminum V8 is huge. Initial acceleration projects the car ahead of anything except six-figure machinery at stoplights, and always with an intimidating growl.

The coupe's mid-range power is made quicker still by the electronically controlled automatic transmission (Lexus has ordained that hand-foot purists will have to do without a five-speed manual) and almost imperceptible shifting. All of which makes high-speed freeway maneuvering a matter of seeing a space and then filling it.

The speed-assisted steering remains faithful in feel throughout the speed range despite a momentary heaviness when transitioning quickly from left to right. The brakes would stop a grizzly bear falling out of a tree. The suspension (ably assisted by Goodyear Eagles on those almost-beautiful, 16-inch wheels) is tighter than the LS400 and firm enough for driving by the seat of the pants without jarring any of their contents.

mine was right at 45k. I have the original sticker if you want a pic of it
