Default Good Deal? Let me know what you think!

Okay so let me start off with a little background info. One I am very new to the site and i found it while looking into SCs before I purchased mine a few weeks ago. Now I would like some input from this community on what you think of my 400 and if it was a good deal. I personally think it was a deal I will never see come again and couldn't pass up.

1993 SC400
White
148,637 miles
Only $3,000





Leathers a little worn out, but hey it's a old car. I'll get some seat covers and leather treatment!





Way more pictures will be up later on the interior and all that good stuff.

Seems like a good low starting price. Bone stock? How does it drive? How is the body?

I think it was a good deal I paid 3900 for my sc300 and its a yr older with more miles. Yours looks very clean! Whats that white strip on the front bumper above the fog?

Yes it's bone stock, for now at least. haha. It's runs beautiful. And that stripe is on every corner of the car. They are boss bumper guards. I hate them, bought the car with them, I'm just scared if I try and take them off I might have issues with paint/adhesive ect . . .

The inter. is better than my 97 I would say you got a good deal if it runs and shifts fine.

Yeah I think its a good deal if you plan on keeping it for a long time. Low miles, nice exterior and interior. Are those bumper things parking sensors? Before you start adding mods do maintenance. Welcome to CL

Advice on removing those guards.

Heat with hair dryer or heat gun, and start to remove with dental floss or light tackle fishing line.

Agree, just paid $5k for a '97 SC300 with similar mileage. The leather looks fine IMO, other users have posted much worse pics of their interior for about the same price range.

Welcome!

Definitely a good deal, especially given the condition. Interior isn't too bad, seen worse...not a fan of the bumper guards tho.
