i had nothing to do today so i went on kbb and checked the value of my sc400. for private party in excellent condition they quoted my car to be $7800. last time i checked kbb about a little more than a year ago it was only at $6000 or so but pretty sure it wasnt in the $7000 range. why is our car prices going up? is it due to demand.

It is entirely possible the SC's (moreso 5 speed 300's than anything) are increasing in value a tiny amount. The Supra saw a steep and rapid jump in it's price tag with the turbo craze, and the little brother just may be due for some commission also.

Most people dont know that the SC300 chassis is related to the Supras and that the engines and many suspension parts can be swapped. When they do know, their eyes light up ![EEK!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/eek1.gif)
Yea, I hope that too many people will try to buy our SCs so that the "prestige" of being a Lexus owner remains.
Today my coworker followed me out and saw me car and she was shocked. She said that she cant believe that I own a Lexus sports car

I love it when people think that my car is an '03, and when I tell them its a '99 they're shocked. Even better is when you drive around in a Lexus, you're driving in a car that currently costs less than a used Civic or even a new Civic, but looks like its worth multiples more!

I noticed that KBB used to list my car as $3750 for a 92 5spd with 150k on it private party, and now its $5125. $7335 for dealerships.
Thats definately an improvement over what it used to be. YAY!
