Default Got a deal on a 97sc 300, wat ya think?

I've been lookin for a car for couple of weeks now. so i came across this 97 sc300 for $3990 today... came checked it out.. its in decent condition, but need some work...pulled it down to $3500, they wouldnt sell it for $3500 since they had it at $4500 a couple days ago.....so the final negotiation price is $3800...
214k on odometer, but they put a new motor in which is about 100k now(have paperwork). 18" rims, has couple of scratches in the left quarter panel. check engine light is on, which shows that it need an 02 sensor. runs and drives pretty good. WAT YOU GUYS THINK? here are couple of picsss from the phone!!!

its so awesome to see people picking up so many SCs these days. It's like every day there's at least 2-3 people with new pick ups on an old but great car.

nice sc there.

i say go for it, as long as you checked and know for sure that the CEL is a O2 sensor and not some knocking.

Thats a freaking steal, even with a new (used) motor. Good pick up for the money. How about some good interior shots? Welcome to CL!

If it's a 5spd, yes. If not, then I would have to say not really.

yeah right, good luck getting '97 5spd for that low, even w 400k, owners rather keep it then let it go for that cheap
