KBB market blue book value has always been stingy if you are a consumer, and always been inflated if you are a dealer or bargain hunter, but always been right for the market as a whole no matter who you are.
Two years ago an Sc400 with 200k on it would book around $4500.00 in excellent shape on www.KBB.com and the number stayed that way for a year or so, and that's about where I would see the numbers on the car lots.
I had just checked some figures for some of my other cars and punched in a 200k miles 1992 SC400 with no options checked and came back with $6,000.00. While this number is too high for an enthusiast forum on the internet, the real world has these clean '92's on the lot for exactly this price range (5k to 6k).
I checked and the black book prices are up as well. It appears as though this old dog might still have a little fight left.
Prices go up, because of a significant spikes in demand...My theory? Douche bag noobs from the 240SX tuning scene are ditching/trading their S13/S14's for bigger,badder and cheaper rides, And the Lexus SC is unfortunately part of that list of cars...so yeah.
idk i head 20 years is a classic and 30 years is an atinque (thanks pawn stars,lol)...so a 92 should almost be a classic car and by 2022 it should be an antique!!!
The thing is, has anyone bought one for 6 grand yet? Ive seen 4 sc400's on craigslist for the past three months that are selling for 5 grand. All excellent condition.
