Default How much would you pay for this 99 sc?

this is my first time posting and i'm curious about something...i'm going to look at this sc on wednesday. i'm not gonna post any link b/c i dont want to sway any responses. how much would you guys pay?

its a 99 black w/ tan leather sc300 auto. from the pics, the paint is immaculate and the interior looks pretty clean as well. bad part...174,000 miles. heres a clip of the ad:
------------------------------------------------------------
SC300 Vehicle includes: Power Door Locks, Power Windows, Dual Power Seats, AM/FM Stereo Radio, Cassette Player, Premium Sound System, Anti-lock Brakes, Dual Air Bags, Heated Seat(s), Cruise Control, Climate Control, and Keyless Entry.

Anti-Lock Brakes; Power Door Locks; Power Windows; Cassette Player; Radial Tires; Alloy Wheels; Tachometer; Cruise Control; Interval Wipers; Rear Defroster; Remote Trunk Lid; Console; Carpeting; Dual Sport Mirrors; Front Bucket Seats; Power Sunroof; Climate Control; Leather Upholstery; Keyless Entry; CD Player; Premium Sound System; AM-FM Stereo Radio; Rear Spoiler; Memory Seat(s); Heated Seat(s); Traction Control; Dual Air Bags; Dual Power Seats;





yes, theres other sc's out there...i'm just going to look, keep that in mind. however if its as nice as the dealer claims, it could be a fun project car. so anyway, what would u guys pay? also, what should i be looking for when i go to test drive it? thanks a bunch guys

Looks nice. Depending on how much I wanted it and how she looked and sounded, 8,500 and 12,500.

No biggie on the miles, can you check lexus maintainance records? Use the miles to knock down the price.

The mileage is high, but that's a $22,000 TO $24,000 car with 50k on it, so I wouldn't go near as low as $10k

I'd say $13 TO $14K

asking price is just shy of 10k

mileage really isnt an issue to me as it will be a project car. i'm more worried about the body being clean and the interior being in good condition. i plan on either a 1jz or na-t project towards the end of the year with the summer being set up for suspension, brakes, etc

If she's been well taken care of, she'll got another 174k easy. Pay more attention to the overall condition, how she sounds, etc..

the bluebook on my car was like 13,700 with 88k miles, i paid a little bit more than that since i couldnt find any nice late model sc's.. i personally think he should pay around 10-11.5k with that much mileage


edit: just saw the price was just shy of 10k.. go for it!

IF you get it in the 10k range then good deal bro...

BTW.... those appear to be non 94-96 rims i think? I thought 99 had 5 spoke chrome?? and ask about the floormats..
