Default would anyone trade their 5speed is300 for a 5 speed 95 sc300?

Wondering if anyone would do what the title states, I will give cash on my end . My sc300 is a 95 completely stock! with the exception of a full 97+ conversion, even tailights. It is Reny red and about to be resprayed for a fresh paint. the interior is seriously 9/10 looks almost new with the exception of the driver seat getting unstiched on the bottom part where you sit down, as of right now its just like 3 inches that is unsewn. If no one is interested then can you please provide me with an amount that this car can go for?

you will probably just get biased answer if you ask on any is/sc forum.

^He says plus cash on his end to make a fair trade.... I wouldn't trade my SC either for an IS or I would have bought an IS in the first place if I really wanted to. I guess just personal preference.

If the decision was mine, I would keep the SC. So rare to see nice and clean SC's around.

To me, each car has its own unique appeal to it, so its definitely by personal preference. But if I were you, I would keep the SC because like Initial G stated early, it is rare to find a nice and clean SC nowadays. I've been seeing a lot of messed up SC's out there with like dents and dings and torn up interiors. But yea, if you are planning to sell the car in about a month or so... I'm looking for an 5 speed SC300 to buy once I save enough money lol

Assuming your description is accurate and the car is clean and free of problems, that is an extremely rare package (I looked for a '97 5-speed for years to no avail; yours is close enough given the conversion work you did). I would be tempted but I like my IS300 too much. They are both excellent cars and IMO amongst the best Lexus had to offer in its history. Take good pics and you should be able to get a good return on it through a sale. Good luck with it.
