That is pretty cheap for an 05 IMO. Craigslist link's aren't allowed though...you could cut/paste ad on CL...O_o

That does seem pretty cheap, especially considering the mileage. It does, however, look pretty clean. I would read all the stickies to learn about what to look at before purchasing an SC. Then after reading that, take note and go look at this one and test drive it to see if there are any problems. I'm wondering if it is that cheap because we are approaching winter?

Copy the whole ad ON craigslist, and post it here. Not the link. That's a really good price!

Thanks for the insight,i thought it was priced a bit low,i'm gonna schedule with the owner to check it out and see,i guess i should expect a couple surprises for the price he's asking.but yea it is clean and has decent mileage.
i read through the stickies so i have a good idea what to focus on,i don't think it's selling that cheap because of winter,i would think that owners of these cars know what there're worth.. and this is underpriced based on the book value.

Not bad, but you might want to check out this SC430 as well: http://bit.ly/RsUDYV and there's an ad on Cars.com, see this link:http://bit.ly/WI4BSY

Good luck!
