Since you're in Dallas, it's going to be hard to get out what you have in it. Especially since Snap performance is rolling out 1JZ twin turbo SC's like the one on craigslist (as we speak) for $5500. I think it depends on your market...More SC's=lower price, Less SC's=higher price because they are rare, for instance here in San Antonio,tx or Corpus Christi,tx. I would hold on to it.

I was told that Snap performance is no more, the two guys went their separate ways...

...I bought my '97 from David, in fact.

Thanks for the input guys.. I have no prob. taking off the rims. (hids.. I could care less.) KBB is around 4700 for my car in its condition. Im thinking of asking around $4500. Auto trader has 1 SC300 in a 100 mile radius (98 I think) and the asking price is 10k.

I hear people mentioning the economy.. Right now poor credit is pretty common so people would be more inclined to buy used right??

BTW.. Forgot to add the mileage. Post edited.

its tough with the economy..i paid just over $4k for my 1 owner 92 with 73k miles and all maintenance done, but that was over a year ago..and KBB is full of crap..I would put it atleast $5500 as is right now in the pic, and go with the best offer..

good looking car by the way.

I'd really just keep it, your not going to get much... SC is a nice car but you gta admit its not for everyone...
not everyone thinks they wna drive a 92 car even though its probably one of the best that was ever built to last forever

Sell the Works separately, and you will come out on top I would imagine.

I'm selling mine as well bro, $3000 obo, and not many people have jumped on it, good luck with your sell, and I guess royal jade green is a very popular color.
