Default 1992 black SC 400 tan interior low mileage

I have just joined this forum and have had this car for 21 years. It is in mint condition with low mileage (62,000 miles). Will this be a collector's car eventually? Should I keep it? Thanks. I am the original owner of this car and obtained it August 1991 when it first came out. Thanks

welcome to CL. we dont see any original owners and you've kept it for this long, so might as well keep it for 21 more

Do you have any pictures of it?

As far as it becoming a collector's car one day... who knows. Probably not.

Not trying to be pessimistic, but the prices over the last several years have REALLY dropped on these cars. Clean, low mileage examples are selling under 5-6k all day long. As long as people are willing to sell their cars that cheap, that's all they'll be worth on the market. The only real way to raise the market value for these cars is for owners to jack up the prices and not sell below a certain point. Potential buyers who really want an SC will be forced to pay the higher asking price. In turn, it will raise the value of both your car and mine. The MKIV Supra is a great example of this.

I would say that you keep it. It's nice to be the original owner.

For a time this happened to the S13 and S14's as well.

i wouldnt sell it. this car will last u forever and if u do sell it now it wont be for a life changing amount. is it really worth getting rid of a car for 5k-7k when u have had it for so long. i understand the supra guys selling theres, they are getting good money back for them. i say store it and take it out every once in a while as like a weekend car till its worth some more money or drive it daily till it dies in another 20 years. gl

post pics i wanna see this bad boy
