I´d go with the black one. Only 2k miles more in a 2 years difference is something nice about previous owner/s.

Default Really low milage SC400's

I found these two really low milage SC400's on ebay. Too much for my budget, but someone on here might be interested.

This one has 17K original Miles!!! WOW!

Not that it matters but i dont understand this thread? i definitely CAN understand paying well for a collectors car, a car in good shape, or a car with low miles; but if if this car will be modded or driven often, what is the point of the search, also this is not a collectors car unless its one of the 120? Would it not be better just to make a reasonable offer for a well built car (i know a LOT of tastefully modded owners who would sell for anywhere NEAR those prices listed above) or get a the best condition sc300 for the most reasonable price and spend the additional money restoring it? You'd come out with a car in the same shape but with a lot more money left over.

I'm just wondering on the logic.

Both are really nice. I think they are very fair market value. The mileage on each would be like buying a Lex that has just been broken in. I don't think you would regret getting either one.

Dam i was thinking about selling my sc300 for 15k, for that price i can buy a older sc and do a full 2jzgte swap with super low miles on the motor and should still have some left over

Hopefully the op was gunning for the black one as I ended up buying the white 2000 SC400. Haggled the price down to a more reasonable 12.5k.

Took a crappy phone pic..

Unfortunately, the dealer would laugh at you all the way out the door here. Low mileage 98+ SC's in white command a premium here in Cali, and they get sold real quick from what I experienced. I have been watching for them, for years. East coast cars usually sell for at least 4-5k less from what I have seen, but they all tend to have rust and more paint/interior wear due to the harsh weather that we don't see here in Cali. If I could've done $10k otd, that would've been stellar.

Very true, SC's in California usually have asking prices much higher than in other states.
