Question Need Advice..Should I trade my 98 SC400 for a 95 5spd SC300 [With PICS]

Hey wasup guys. I've been trying to sell my 98 sc400 with 146k for about a year now and nobody has really offered anything for it, but people wanting to trade their 240's or ecplises for it. The reason I am selling my sc400 is because i want a sc300 so I can turbo. Now I just bought another red 97 sc300 w/166k last month that i love. That car could really use a repaint, but drives perfect. So today i saw a reanaisance red 95 sc300 5spd at 120k with black interior for sale. Now I'm starting to think should I trade my 98 sc400 for it? I really wanted a 5spd and was looking for one all summer, but couldn't find one. My 98 sc400 has a light dent on the driver's side door, needs new brakes and rotors, has a srt intake w/ chip combination, navigation, and a sound system. Now what do you guys think is better, if I'm doing a NA-T. The trade is my 98 sc400 with everything in it plus my TT wheels which the tires are no good and a 97 rear bumper. Also what do I do now with the 97 sc300...do I sell it or keep it as a daily? How much money should I ask on top of his car? He is willing to pay 1300, should I ask for more? He does have g35 wheels with brand new tires, should I ask him to include them in the deal?

These are recent pics or my car:








This is the 95 SC300:

that's gotta be the ugliest kit I've seen... trade for the 5-speed and start again man lol

Honestly, you're getting a killer deal for him to even add money on top. His is a lower mileage 5-speed black interior clean sc with OBD I, you have big dent, poor fitment kit with higher mileage.

I'd take his in a heartbeat!

i have to agree with clear p-----that kit is one of the worst ive seen------it belongs on a honda forsure---no offense intended-----This is a tough call-----im not sure what i would do in your situation----the big thing for me is the 95 has lower mileage and a 5 speed-------your 98 looks like it needs some work and has higher mileage------might be a good idea to trade.

Good luck mayne

you definitely need to trade IMMEDIATELY! and he's willing to put 1300 on top?? he's got a clean black interior 5spd and you have a not so clean (no offense) car with higher mileage. I would even take trade+g35 wheels and call it a day bro.
