I paid 3000 for a sc400 with 230,000 miles on it. No problems. Have been running about 500 miles a week since i got it. And perfect exterior. Plus navigation. I'd keep looking if i were you. Cost to fix it wont be worth it. offer $800 and no more if u dont want to wait for something else to come up. Otherwise walk. My 2 cents

Other than that it looks to be in good shape, aside from some body damage to the rear quarter panel (pic enclosed). Owner said he will take $2000 for it considering the mileage (200k) and damage.. is this a good price?

Thanks in advance for your feedback, I really hope this works out because the SC is such a sexy car and I have wanted one for as long as I can remember. Let me know what y'all think!

Lol, that's the car from Highlines. "I" told him he needed a fuel pump ECU. HE was unsure what the problem was.

I walked away from the car without a second glance after I followed the lead from craigslist to the dealer. That car is ASSED OUT. I couldn't find one thing on that car that didn't need work.

You have one heck of a project on your hands.

Like I said its gonna be a project for me, and it being in such rough shape will just motivate me more to work on it myself and learn all that I can. If it poops out on me then I learned my lesson, but either way I will have fun in the process. Right now I am just trying to figure out where to begin with it.
