Default Is this an ok deal? WHAT'S THIS CAR WORTH? 98

Hey guys, I am a new member to this forum.
I have been searching for a 98+ SC300 for a long time and found this one vehicle at a local used car dealership. It is 1998 model, blk on tan and has 66,000 miles on it.
The price which the seller is asking for is $15,995. Do you guys think that this is fairly priced? Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks

****** his arm off. Sounds like a fine deal and 98's are low production.

I would go for it. But . If you can get the dealer to lower the pirce some $$$ .. that would be better..

I got my 96 SC300 with the exact same miles for $10,000, but the 98's are rare so you should haggle it a bit lower and then buy her.

Thanks for your replies.
KBB gave $16000-17000 in value and Edmunds gave $14,600.

If you have the time, go to a Lexus dealership service dept. & ask them to pull the service history on that car. Also, make sure you pay the $20 (or whatever) & get the CarFax.

But yes, haggle for a good price
