I've been seeing that car online also. I'm not going to buy though. It's local for me. Thought about going to look at it just for ****s and giggles. The way I see it, you don't get an SC400 for $1999 without some issues. Looks like a good deal though.
I'd check it out for ya if you wanted me too. I promise I'm not going to buy it. Lol.

Shoot me a PM if you'd like me to check it out.

I've been seeing this car online as well. I wouldn't buy it. It's been in an accident judging by the pictures alone. If you can get it for $1,500, go for it. If not, I'd spend more money and get a cleaner SC.

I'll try to go tomorrow after work. I'll get the number and call on it. I just spent a lot of $$$ replacing the LCA bushings on my car and I'm loving it even more, so no need to be buying another one, haha.

Do a formal check on the temp at full warm up, look at the oil, see if you can check
for head gasket leaks, review suspension components, etc. I was told the most expensive
car you will ever own is a cheap Mercedes...my second guess on this list a cheap Lexus.
Do your homework first before spending your hard earned saved money.
