for $15,900 i would have to agree... thats a lot for a 92 with 100k.............. unelss, its in perfect showroom condition with a huge stack of records... then its not as bad.

if you only paid $5,900 out of pocket, then thats not too bad as long as its in great shape.

Well you did pay a bit more than "we" would being interweb savvy, but in RL you'd be surprised what people who don't do much interweb work will pay for a 92 SC. (local sales FTW)

Congrast on the new car. I bought my '92 with 100K on the clock too about 2.5 years ago.

I think you could have gotten a better deal to be honest with you. But you do have a great car.

I hope the maintainance has been done on it, including the common problems that occur with this car.

Yea looking back, I'd buy my car again for more money if I had to. I thought about trading it in for a new GS, but I can't do it.

You'll love the car!!!

It doesn't matter WHAT you spent out of pocket unless they are never going to ask for the remaining balance, and the price diff between the 300 auto and 400 auto is about $500. Nothing worth talking about.

Wait till you go and do some engine repairs or mods, I'm glad I got the SC300.
There's your big difference,

Here Is The Question I Payed 10,900..with A 5,000 Trade. My Question Did I Get Taken
If you only payed 10,900 with the trade, you might have done o.k. The dealership may have had a lot of room to play with trade in money with the SC.
