Auto or Manual? Would probably sell for more if you had all OEM body parts. Nice interior.

I think I've seen your SC on Craigslist... You located in San Diego? Anyways, I'm always on Craigslist looking for good deal on parts, and I noticed that here in Cali it takes about 4-6 months to sell SC's, and some have even been on Craigslist for more than a year... Unless you have a black on black with low miles, or really really cheap original 5 speed, those go out in 2-3months... Our cars are already known for being a money pit, wether you buy them in good condition or bad, sooner or later they all end up with the same problems that can drive any noob crazy. If I'm not mistaken you've been trying to sell yours for a little more than a couple of months already right?

never been up for sale since i owned it. i'm in nor cal, near sf

getting 15 mpg at today's gas rate might be the the reason why they are not selling well.

Looks clean, this is what KBB has for the price range in MD Zip Code.

It's a hard sell for a v-8 that requires premium given current gas prices which does effect the price drastically so there is a super slim market right now and it's far from a hot seller.

V8 Lexus vehicles just take the right buyer at the right time willing to spend the asking price. I will be patient.

Maybe 4-5k. It appears to be very clean and it has low milage compared to an average 95. Good luck on your sale man. I would just keep her!!!

Agreed! I have often thought about selling mine but I just keep plugging away with attention to even the most minor detail so sort of a resto mod if you will.
I love mine to death and as soon as I do the swap to the gte the fuel mileage while hwy driving will be much better!

Wow, you've driven the car 1,000 miles in the last 3+ years and still can't find a buyer?

It has been just sitting in the driveway for the past 3 years. Just recently got it re registered and insured so I can try to sell it now. Had it listed it at 5k but lowered it down to 4.5k to see if that will help. With the price of gas being lower thought it might help.
