Default Who would buy?

I have an 1997 SC300 (auto trans.) which I would like to sell.
The only proble is it has a rebuild title.
What do you think is $17500 too much or little.
It has 29000 miles.It has a front bomex aero bumper + cold air intaje + I'll give the buyer 4 brand new 17 inch wheels with 2 new
245/45/R17 tires never used + 4 eibach lowering springs (still in the box) + 4 tokico high performance shocks (same still in the box)
+ two high performance stainless steel mufflers (still in the box).

so I would like to know what you guys think.

Hell dude, I'll take the bomex bumper, springs, and shocks off your hand for you. How much you want? And what color is the bumper? I think you can sell the car without that modifications for at least 17,500.

I'm selling it because I would like to get something with stick shift
and something with a lot of power.
I wanted to get a supra tt but but they are still kind of expensive.
(1993 tt - $18000 + 70k or 80k).

This is going to sound like stupid idea but I was thinking to get
any of those 3000gt vr4 5spd(90+93) or 6spd(94 and up).
They are cheap to upgrade ($2k - 425hp).

Or maybe I'll just keep my sc300 and convert it into 5spd(cheaper than 6spd) and save some money and buy turbo kit.

So, what do you guys think ??



And sorry man , but I'm not selling that bomex aero bump.

I don't know about the suspension yet.
If I decide to keep the car I'll install them.
So , I still don't know.

Don't buy a ****subishi. VR4s used to be my favorite cars. I was really close to buying a couple of them, well one VR4 and one TT Stealth, but they are garbage. Every one I see needs a new tranny. Those cars are infamous for eating transmissions like crazy.

I've just test drove a 3000gt vr4.
It was pretty quick.When I was going like 40 inside it felt so noisey I couldn't even hear the dealer what he was saying.
When I relased the cluch (I didn't drop it) I've heart some shot under rear susspension (probably u-joints).When I hit brakes whole steering wheel was shakeing.The dealer was asking
$13900 for this car and he didn't wanna go down from that price.
Anyway I just played with him and maybe if he goes down to like $8 than I buy it ,but they are really not that good cars than I thought.

Lexus is still lexus what do you say ?
I think I just keep my 300sc and save some money for a turbocharger.
