Default Is this a good deal?

Well I have been looking for a 2000+ SC300 and found one that's pretty intresting to me. Just wondering if people can give any advice on what they think about the car. Thanks.

That's almost as perfect as they get. Gorgeous. I'd do it in a heart-beat. Price isint to shabby as it is either, taking into consideration u can probably negotiate a little..

I thought only vvti SC400's came with 5spd automatics? The SC300's should all have 4spd autos.

Considering I have a 98 SC300, I'm pretty sure it has a 4spd auto.

I WAS WRONG.... after i searched i found out YOU ARE CORRECT which is why i edited my post..... hey i learned something today as i also was under the impression the 5-speed auto came in the I6 in 98+ just like the one in the GS/IS300.

I just clicked on the link and the car still comes up for sale. Perhaps the dealer has just forgotten to remove it from the site.

You really have to have a passion for an SC to pay that much ... even a 2000. I haven't seen an SC for sale at that price point (even with low miles) for close to that in over a year.

Hey, maybe it's still available ... good luck.
