I have only found 2 97+ SC300s and SC400s in junkyards here. Both were in the same yard at the same time and got sold about a week after I found them. If you know a yard with some 96+s plus I would love to know where they are.

But still u saved money and overall worth it.

Going rate is 100-150 per taillight here, ZGagnon got a fair deal.

I'd say $200 isn't too bad of a deal... except yours came with a dead spider. I hate spiders! They would've had to pay me $200 to take that spider.

tails here in texas at a junkyard are about $30.00 just saying i feel thats high i would have bought new for that price. funny thing both my window regulators crapped out. i went junkyard hopping and they want $100.00 and up for 14 to 15 year old regulators. im like dude these are just as old as the ones that are broke in my car. they might last a year if im really lucky. so now i have to go pay the $250.00 a piece at the dealer for new ones. ouch. apparently taillights in texas cheaper then most but window regulators they wanna rape you. either way every damn part on this car is expensive as hell. gee i cant wait to replace my headlights. frigging $500.00 for headlights on a 15 year old car. i love my sc but hate lexus.

$30?? really what the hell that's what my lunches cost sometimes in NY.. I guess window regulators are more important when you need a functional window in that Texas heat
