What's my SC300 5-speed worth?

My customer who just wrecked his 97 factory 5spd got 8k. When I totaled my IS wagon, douche tried to offer me $5200 (sedan pricing). I found every wagon within 3 states of me and proved that it was a 11-14k car due to rarity/mileage which factors out to market value. Next thing you know, I got a 13k check.

This is very true. The "similar" cars they compare the SC to probably don't hold much in common with swapped examples. I wouldn't be surprised if it's compared to the Acura Legend Coupe (very good but not at all an SC) and even 90's era Buick Regals... which are truly unwanted trashmobiles today. I'd be more impressed if the BMW 840 were compared to the SC400 in such figures.

True, I went from a highly modded Legend coupe 6sp to my SC.. Was a very reliable and sound car, very similar to the options we have on the SC. Just had no aftermarket options so everything was one off made and custom, made for a very expensive build, yet still fairly slow car lol... Oh well.. Was fun..
^^ Bingo.

I would try to convince them and let you keep the car. WhO cares what the title says, thats irrelevant. Second option is comparable's, find three around same mileage for sale and fax them the ad, last option is hire an independent appraisal company.
