Is this trade fair?
I have a 1994 gs300 with a 140XXXmiles. Here it is on craigslist:
http://sandiego.craigslist.org/car/334565581.html
everything is in great running condition except for no cup holder, rear window regulator doesn't work..fully stock loaded with body kit, brand new paint window visors.
I am thinking about trading it for this sc300 with 175XXXmiles, 1993 plus his gadgets and gizmos..on top of that he is giving me $1200 and I get to keep my 20" rims.
http://sandiego.craigslist.org/car/334565581.html
the problem with his car is alignment, antennae dont work, about $300 of body damage, interior is not at its best of shape(faded wood panels,dirty seats, loose driver panel, etc), ac is not cold, timing belt might need to be changed. I am afraid there might be more things but he seems like a nice guy. Other than that everything looks and sounds good.
What do you guys think??

Alignment = $100, antenna = $40 for an MDX one, $300 body damage, $800 reupholstered interior parts, AC freon regen $100, timing belt = $1000, possible 100k service = $500.
If you do it right, the trade in will be a relatively good deal.

You will be getting an older car(by 1 year), Higher miles(35,000), needs body work and new interior, broken A/C and $1200. I say don't do it but think about and let us know what you do.

From what you've said you'll need to put work into that car, I dont think it's a good trade off with an extra 1200. As far as I can tell, SCs are really expensive to maintain and fix. And let's face the facts, you're going to trade for a car that you'll need to fix, spend more time and money, is that what you really want? Okay... if so do it.
