Okay, i guess i can say this is my first thread, since i've joined in September 2009. And ever since then, i've been wanting an SC. I recently came upon a 1994 Garnet Pearl SC300, 5-speed, with 84,000 miles. The seller is asking 8k firm. To me, i find this as a pretty good deal, considering it's an original 5-speed, and very low mileage. The interior i'd put as a B+, with minor rips in the front two seats and one noticeably large rip on the driver's bolster. The rear seats are flawless. What do you guys think? Since i figured you all would be the most educated in decisions like these.
If you can get it down to $6,000, I'd say go for it. It also depends on rare SC's are in your area. SC's should be cheaper but if there are very few for sale within a decent vecinity, then they could ask almost anything.
Pass... expensive.. if it was a 97 5sp I would say thats doable. You can get one for 5k~ even with those low miles not worth it. Just wait for the right one.
I guess you should get it down to $5,000 judging by the other posts. I forgot that the 97's came with the 5-speed transmission. You might want to pass for now.
Alright, thanks guys. Yeah, SCs are hyper rare in my area, the only other one being a 1996 SC300 auto with 130k miles for $7k. Yeah, it's expensive, but i am trying to see how much a 5-speed swap would cost, and see if it justifies the price.
id either hold off(i did and saved at LEAST 1000 and got one in better condition then the others i was looking at) or drive out of town maybe even state..if it saves you 2-3K it'll definitely be worth the trip.
Yeah definitely a high asking price. I've seen a couple local vvti sc400s for sale in the 8500 price range. I'd say with the low miles and a 5 speed, 5k would be the most I'd pay.
Ehh...i'm not going to jump the gun on some car, but it sure has been a frustrating few months. I've gone to NC, WV, MD, and even PA to check out SCs with sub-par results. I guess the only reason why i asked you guys is because this is the only one that i've seen that's got a manual tranny, and is also a five minute's drive away.
5k? I know this sounds weird, but that sounds really low.
