Somebody sure got taken on that one.
That poster is from BC - therefore its a Canadian car (All options, SC400 only). Due to our exchange rates at the time, they were quite expensive here. I have a Canadian used car guidebook and its lists the new MSRP in 1996 as $82000 CAD.

I don't have the original sticker on my 93 SC300, but I did find the paperwork from when the second owner bought it in 1996 for $31,500 used. It came with gold package a nd had a car phone too according to the records. The car phone was taken out by the dealership though.

I didn't get the Nakamichi stereo, Traction Control, or heated seats though. It does show the gold package was an extra $1,000.

Sticker price is one thing.....but in reality no one rarely pays sticker price. So many discounts and sales etc.

For this one above being 42k I would imagine the person paying anywhere from 37-39k

I doubt that. Looking at the model year and considering it was the first year of a brand new design, I highly doubt it was discounted much, if at all.

This is true. My 92 SC4 was stickered at $42K and the sales receipt shows they paid $38,500. My 95 has no paperwork so no clue on selling price.

My 98 SC3 was $46,950....no options except the 6 disc changer and "premium" radio which is pioneer and the spoiler.

That was very expensive for even 98.

BMW M3 was cheaper if you wanted performance while Cadillac Eldorado/Lincoln Mark 8 were about the same for a V8.

These cars were really not marketed to people under 40-50 years old because they would be unable to afford...duh. The typical buyer went to the dealer for everything and did not modify them at all. After a few years it was time to trade in. But I think the drug dealers also liked these cars new.

And the carfax showed no lien on the first title, which means the person who bought it new paid cash...
that means the original owner was a drug dealer hahah
