Default Pictures of my SC400. Does it look ok?

My co-workers keep bagging on my car and it's like they're trying to convince me that it's a piece of ****. No matter what I tell them they say that it's only worth $1,000 because it's a 14 year old car with 150,000 miles on it and nobody would buy a car with 150,000 miles since thats when cars usually are almost to die. I really don't know what else to tell them but I keep taking the abuse about my car. It seems like it's all about the Year and Mileage of a vehicle. And when I tell them that this car can run past 200,000 miles, they don't believe me.


Taken from my Apple iPhone...







I just love the curves on this car. Maybe I'm just in love with it.

Need to clean the headlights a bit, I believe. and It needs to be waxed. Here's a pic of it after a nice wash.....

damn I'm in love just looking at this

yeah! And what if it is only worth $1,000, it's yours and if you like it, don't worry about what other people think or how much it's worth, it's priceless to you. I get some crap from guys I work with too. I sold my 06 G35 SC for my 99 SC400. In a parking lot full of low end BMW's and BMW "want2b's", my car definitely gets more attention; good and bad. At least they notice.

the car will last as long as u change the oil


My word of advice (for all car owners) is never worry about what the next guy/gal thinks. Jus do your thing

I'm soooo glad I didnt care what negative people had to say about my car when I first started building it

I totally agree.... there will always be haters no matter what kind of car you drive and that is something you have to learn to cope with. If it means anything, I think the car looks great!

Right now I have 262,000 on mine and it is going strong I pretty much am going to do a 1jz swap and be able to drive it for another 300,000 both the car and engine are built exceptionally well and offer a timeless design.

Now get to modding that baby!

Nice

Don't listen to others, i purchased my 97 with 220k, it's at 235k right now. I have not had any problems at all, no engine noise NOTHING. My coworker thought i was crazy buying a 97 with that many miles, lets just say his Dakota sees the mechanic once a month and his truck has 1/3 miles i have.

i get some crap for my 92, but only from people that don't know about the car. some people all they hear is a year, they don't know whats in it, and what that means, it like i was talking to a high school student in my shop one day about getting a 64 continental, they were like what why would you want a old car like that, why not get a 07 something, my reply was i don't want a new car, i want this car.

That car looks great. I have a 92 with high mileage and nobody bashes it after going for a ride in it.
