Default Found Super Rare 1997 RSP sc300 on local CL.

The car is not mine, and I do not know the owner. I have not seen the car. I just stumbled on this and thought I would share. There were only 15 or 16 rsp/black sc300s make in 1997 iirc. So this could be one of the rarest SCs.

Anyways:

"some paint is spidering since before I bought the car." That's not good for someone looking for an original condition RSP. Nice find though.

"No rust car was never driven in winter"

dude has the vehicle pictures posted in snow lulz.

Either way if they're asking $7k, then someone can probably get it for $5.5k if you haggle a lot. If the "spider cracking" is on the front or rear bumpers, you can get those resprayed. Replace the tires or get new wheels, swap a head unit and you'll have a nice looking car.

Very very rare color combo, I had to look for 2 years before I found my current 97 rsp/black car and it would for sure sell for 7k as I have seen beater rsp/black ones sell for more on supra forums.

The car is mine, I didn't post it on the forums because I really dislike the forum drama and I'm pretty busy with work and project cars. The car was pulled out for pics in the parking lot, those are my 2 40x40 units in the backround. The car was never driven out on the roads in the winter since I have owned it, I have Subarus to daily drive in the winter. I wouldn't mind if someone would someone wanted to test drive it on a clear day. I have 2 rsp/black 1997 SC300s, I'm only selling one.

That thing has way too many miles to be bought as an investment. Nice color combo though.

It also is priced quite fair imo plus miles are not that high for the year really.
The rare factor has far more to do with the price than the miles and looking at the pics I would say it is in more than fair shape for the age.
