GLWS. I think the right person comes along will give you that for it. You must be patient and be willing to sit on it if possible. For a quick sale, maybe 3500

At least the sc300 is leather, rides nice, and has toyota reliability / reputation, and not to mention it's a 2JZ platform with a strong bottom end and alot of potential.

Ask for 5k firm, it will get it to the right buyer especially if the interior has been 100% redone.
Um, have you seen the people who have been buying these cars?

Honestly, just the new owner group of these cars are causing a large detriment to resale value. Just in the last few years, the influx of people buying the cars like they were a 240SX has caused values to plummet.

You might get more money if you sell it locally to some random guy. The value has dropped on the pre-95's quite a bit unless it's extremely clean.

Ironic too because most of the 240sx's that are asking 6-10k are in horrible condition.

Oh the good 'ol "what's my car worth" threads... I love them so.... Honestly, regardless of what's done to it, what color combo, what wheels it's got and what K your HID's are.... These cars pretty much go from $2500-$4500, a bit more for 97, little more for 98, and even more for 99-00..... I know garbage cars go for that on craigslist, autotrader, etc. but oddly, the used car market is over-inflated due to the economy (on average people are keeping their cars longer) and cash for clunkers, so we are left with pretty much everything used is in the same price range.... A 98 S10 which sold new for about $15K is around the same price as a '97 SC which sold new for about $50K, it makes no sense but it is what it is. Around my area at least. Seriously though, people on here need to start hitting the search button for the whole "what's my car worth" thing, as there seems to be a new thread of this everyday. Really, we only need 2 per month, one for 300's, one for 400's, these are getting old quick.

I'd say it's worth close to that in my area. I see you're from the NE, though. I'm sure there are a lot more options available there. I live in a rural area near St. Louis, MO, and these cars are rare around here. Toss it up on ebay or cars.com for your asking price, you might be surprised.

I paid 4k for mine with less miles, no mods AT ALL and all maintenance done. In general, most mods, unless they are big, dont add value. Most people dont care about rims or exhaust.
