I have a '97 RSP SC300 with Two-Tone interior that just came out of paint, so the paint is 100% fresh and the car looks brand new.

My question is this: KBB has the car valued at $6900 in EXCELLENT condition, $6500 in good. Given the rarity of the RSP and having new paint, what would be a reasonable asking price for the car. I can grab some pics once it stops raining in Dallas.

Auto or Manual and how clean is the paintjob... aka how much orange peel is there and how well cut off are the lines?

Paint was done by Tommy at Complete Autobody in Arlington. Same place that Dusty from MVP gets his done. Better than factory paint job.

Auto with 107,000 on it. Also has TT Wheels on it

I think that be a good asking price. Or around there. As long as the interior is nice too

Well I personally think that is kinda low given the rarity of great condition RSPs with low mileage.

To me though I feel rare paint is the same are modifications to the car. It doesnt add value unless you find someone that values it.

Thats why you will see a lot of people put there car back to stock then sell it. Then part out any mods cause thats how you can make the most money.

I would think the overall condition of the car has far more to do with its value than just a new rsp paint job. That's just one aspect of many to consider.

Normally I would stray away from new paint. Only because I dont like anything thats not original. As another poster pointed out, at least mods you can part out and sell the car as original. Unfortunately you obviously cant do that to paint.
Having said that though, I'm sure there are lots of people out there who see new paint as a plus and would be willing to pay top dollar for it.

Btw, is this the RSP that had some serious clear coat failure on the roof and trunk a year or so ago? If so I was seriously considering purchasing it, but hated the idea of having to repaint it.

Ask 10K for the car, I think we all need to raise the value of our cars. The supra guys are doing it, why can we?

Since when are there so many RSP's in DFW? I have yet to see one.

Cause everyone loves a supra haha. The SC has to grow on you. Im not going to lie I use to think SCs were horribly ugly. I started looking started thinking now I am trying to find another SC as my next car.
