He does have the White one though right? With the Stupidly low miles it has and the $14,000 worth of Turbo and Tuning done to it, I'm sure it's valued higher than $35... I could be wrong

EDIT: Ok, it is the Black one... wow, why did he get rid of it? : (

Are we talking about the same one? I'm refering to the newest one he compeleted.. the NA-T

What you think your car is worth and what you actually can get for it are usually too totally different things... Example: I think with all my mods and restoration my car is worth close to 20k, but if I tried to sell it I would probably be lucky to get 10k for it...

Yeah, I'm with you on that. I might add that there is no economic justification for anything I've done with this beautiful machine but I am real happy with it. What's the going rate, like 50% of your mods and upgrades or some harsh figure.

Could I actually get $16000 for a 450++whp 2jzgte T61 propelled v-8 killer rowdy *** SC that can leave some major league cars in it wake? I don't know, I don't care and I don't plan on answering that question anytime soon. It's not for sale until I can come up with something else nicer for under $30k that will walk on it and that could be a long time coming. Particularly in light of another untapped 100 hp available, this SC is in rarified air. It is one of my all time favorite cars and has been endowed with the coveted engine of its MKIV Supra blood relative.

I don't street race, the car sees track time. What I like most about it is that no one, and I mean no one, ever expects it. They expect a Z06 vette, M3, certain Audi's to eat them. When an SC3 has the potential to take on those cars its a shocker.

ScCoupe - Your SC seems awesome...Hangs with the Z06 sheeeeaaat...I don't think I would be racing you anytime soon...Good work, good car...

I would give you $16,000 for a 450whp SC like that...That may just be a good deal at 16k....

KBB is so inaccurate.. back when I had my old Talon TSi, I sold it for over 5 times what KBB said it was worth. With newer cars, and various other cars, it's the complete opposite, as some people noticed. There really isn't a good way to judge what your car is worth anymore, other than what comparable cars have sold for.

My car is a bit taken appart for now, but when it's put back together with some new toys, I'd say somewhere in the 11-14k range. (Aiming for 450-500whp daily drivable) It should have some one of a kind (on an SC), yet very desired, mods that will bring up the value a bit.

Did any of you know that most Major dealerships use KBB to quote a trade in but uses NADA to mark their retail prices.

NADA gives a higher Retail price and KBB gives a lower trade in value.
