1994 SC300 5 speed

I bid higher than I wanted, but I've been searching for a while and I want to drive a car before paying for it. I'm going to pick it up soon...I hope it's everything I wanted and advertised. Pray for me that it all works out so I can become a fellow sc300 owner!

Silly wabbit! Tricks are for kids!
j/k

Nice find.
After months of nothing, you found an awesome deal, and it's semi-local.
Aren't you glad you didn't pick up that Automatic. You would have regreted the day you bought it.
Hope it's in better condition than you expected (which is like impossible).

Cheers,
~Alan

Wow, looks to be in very good condition. The leather is extremely well kept considering the mileage. I wish mine was like that. Is it me or does the tachometer needle look like its been wrapped around in red tape?

Hope everything works out for you man~ Was just looking at those pictures and I noticed the same thing on the tach needle - look a lot thicker than the other needles

Don't worry though - OLT can take care of that for you.

Peace,
Jonny

Inspection finished and it turns out that the car has some issues, one of the most concerning being that the left front bumber and driver side door have been replaced since the vin numbers aren't there and the inspector could tell from the overall appearance . If you folks are interested I'll post a copy of the inspection report here...some feedback and opinions would be nice .

Yeah, definitely post up the report. We'll give you all the feedback you need. Still looks to be a decent deal. Not great, but fair.

Hey man,

It is very hard these days to find a car that hasn't had some type of body repair. As long as the damage was fixed correctly and there was no frame damage then it shouldn't be too big of a deal.

It seems everytime I buy a car these days it has bee damaged somewhere. Par for the course with a 10+ year old car.

Post up the report though,

Jonny
