How much are the 5speed SC300's in your area.
If you bought one recently how much did you pay for it?

Thanks
Ken

Hello all; im new the the forum. I am a transplant from the 240sx crowd. I just picked up my SC300 5 sp. last week. I got mine for 8800. It is a Diamond Pearl 93 with 95000 miles on it. Nearly perfect condition. I am in Atlanta. I flew to Myrtle Beach (on HOOTERS AIR...recommend to anyone) to buy the car.

WHat!? they have 96's with cloth interiors!?
I thought cloth was only available on 92's with leather being an option.
Thought leather was standard on 93+ cars, same for sunroofs on 94+ cars

Right now I was thinking off selling my 94 black 5speed with 60,800 miles for 13.5k,
is that too high???
I had seen the dealer sell one with more miles last summer for 19k ! ouch!

Man, the resale value seemed to really take a dip this past year.....

I bet that if u sold your car to the dealership, they would turn right around and sell it for about $17-19 grand. That the price people are willing to pay when they get a car from a dealership....it creates a sense of security (or at least it did w/ me and my parents when we got my SC)

Theres no doubt in my mind that both werent standard. You have no idea how hard it was to find a 5speed without a sunroof. The cloth was just a coincidence. But I guess that makes the car more special! I wonder if the weight saved from the sunroof is significant at all to performance?

I got my 93 pearl white with 86k miles, 5 speed, for $9,500.

Then I spent $10k+ in mods the next day (literally)

93 Green on tan leather 5spd with 100K miles on her all for $6500. Did a compression check on the engine, dry with cold engine 228-230 on all six. Wet test revealed well into 300 on the gauge. So engine seems to never have had any detonation, which is good because turbo is going on as soon as SP finish making my SP tubular header. Car looks good inside and out with minor over the years rock knicks.

LexMojo, Did you buy that car from Pugmire up on 41 close to Marietta? If so, i also looked at that car. I actually saw that car at Silver Dollar several days after i looked at it.
