if you were to sell it, id see fair pricing as 12-14k as your car is FRUCKEN BEAUTIFUL!!!
not to mention that a black 97 5spd is like every sc owners dream.
If you were to sell it with the turbo kit it might take a while longer to find the right buyer, but if you sell it NA it would most likely sell much quicker.
Either way man DONT SELL IT!!!

Wow, letting it go already!!? I'm just starting to enjoy my car and the turbo kit you sold to me.
Anyway, if you really have your eyes on a IS350, then go for it. Chicks dig four doors because they're roomy and best of all, there's more space in the back for a baby car seat!!

Yeah I vote $15-17k. Nice, tasteful, and mean at the same time. I paid $15k for my 97 5-spd, but it had $$$$ put into looks - yours has the go-fast goodies. Good lookin car - my compliments

awesome car, don't get me wrong, but seriously, How can you consider that interior mint? The seats look beat up, the carpet is dirty as well as the floor mats? The center console shows some dirt smudges... as well as the plastic carpet trim on the side... my old 93 seats look better than that...
Someone please care to enlighten me? Im not bashing you at all, Im just curious to where you get your definition of MINT from?

i think his interior looks mint, the seats are a bit rough but everything else looks real clean.
but seriously dirty floor mats? who cares? my car doesn't even have floor mats!
nice car man, good luck on the sale, i wouldn't sell it for under 12k
i like how you changed the wood to a glossy non-textured black

im not being an a$$. HIs console is clean, shift boot, e brake, etc. but im just saying that the interior includes his seats, floor mats, etc etc. Even the headliner is part of it. If I were shopping for a car and someone said the car is MINT inside and out, it better be that, MINT. Everything should be near perfect.
maybe im too picky.

That was after a weekend where I did some work to the car, and like an idiot, I sat inside with dirty pants and greasy hands.
But yea, I would definately say it's mint- or at least something really close to it.

I shampoo'd the carpet and cleaned the leather with LEXOL cleaner, then used LEXOL preservative. The crap around the console wiped off with windex.

Check the link for a few definations of "mint condition". You and I probably have the same definition

from webster himself...
Mint : "unused or appearing to be newly made and never used: a book in mint condition."
i hate it when people use the word to describe used cars, because any used car, particularly a 10 year old used car is anything but.
even "near mint" is quite a stretch... best to say "good condition", or "beautiful condition", etc... as these words are subject to opinion, and you can't be called a liar.
