That is a rare one also. For me I know there were 910 made in 1993 do a search and it gives you the total 5 speeds made per year. I think 1997 was the lowest production for the 5 speed with only 120 made add red with black and you are talking a very rare car. For me I haven't scene a black with grey 5 speed ever but I am sure there out there. I think they 3883 made for the total production run in the 5 speed and I bet at least 65% had tan interior maybe more.

Also I would consider at least 900 of them wrecked,totaled or just parted out due to miles. So that leaves maybe 3000 of them out there. So that actually makes the 5 speed sc300 more rare then a Viper or NSX

hey nice car, did you buy it from a benz dealership? and by the way, your car is the cleanest 5 speed ive ever seen

rzuff

Actually I did buy it from a Benz dealer. Matter a fact a Autonation dealer Benz Dealer in Houston. It was a trade in for a new Mercedes pretty much bought it sight unscene with my Amex card they had 3 other people that wanted it. Paint is really glossy and had a paintless dent guy remove several dings a couple days ago.

Dude, man, I can't believe it. I've been waiting to see this thread...That **** was mine.

I drove all the way there the Sat before you picked it up, test drove it, told them I wanted it, and the f-ing scumbag salesguy said he'd hold the car and hide it so it wouldn't get sold, instead of taking my check, and look..you got it.

Did you manage to fix the airbag light, the noisy clutch problem and the non working side mirrors yet?

Other than that...the car is a beaut..

Beautiful car and a nice find.

Here are some recommendations I have.

1) Skip spraying the factory tails and go straight to a 97+ conversion.
2) IMO, I don't think there is a better spoiler for the SCs than the one that's on it.
3) A slight drop on some Tanabes would be perfect!

Sorry when I called that Tuesday they said it was still for sale told them I will take it and put the whole car on my Amex card and picked it up on Saturday. Airbag light was fixed when I stopped at my parents house in Albuquerque with the help of this forum. It just needed to be reset and hasn't come back. The noisy clutch noise has really gone down and isn't really that noticeable after driving 2500+ miles. Mirror Ecu on order which was a $35.00 fix . If it makes you feel better I did get a speeding ticket in Texas coming home the 1st I have had in 10+ years.Good luck on your search.

Not a fan of the 97+ tails + the added cost could be spent elsewhere
Yep Happy with the Sc400 spoiler I lucked out finding one in black right away.
I may do a Eibach drop since the car is my daily driver but we will see. New wheels are currently my top priorty

No, that doesn't make me feel better. Well.. maybe a little better

Interestingly enough, after all the crap the Mercedes dealer fed me. I did find a Sc300 5spd in Houston for $3900 last week, and I bought it.

Glad to hear it worked out for you.

Looks JUST like mine minus the front SC400 lip and the spoiled. I have no lip and a 1997+ spoiler.
