Personally the 97 tails look amazing IMO, but on a red car it's just too much red and the 95's look better in that instance, and they don't really go well with a beige car either while the 95's offer great contrast while maintaining the lines. However I think the 97 tails look great on every other color.
Modded 97+ tails on MDSC's black SC

Holy cow. I got mine for $3.3K at 141K, which I thought was a steal :P
Mine also came with ghetto-licious chrome monstrosities, which I quickly swapped out for OEMs.

Welcome the The RR club. Car looks very familiar for some reason....
Mine came with 136k and cost me almost double that for a stock 5 spd but this was many years ago. very nice pickup especially with the miles!! So what size turbo is going on there

Thanks guys! I'm pretty darn happy about it..... nothing like sitting back with cash, patience and a bit of knowledge. Lesson learned. Thanks to those who helped me learn it!

I'm still impressed with your find. I'm personally looking for a 99-00 SC400 as my next car, must have black interior. Can be a fixer upper as long as the 99/00 exclusive upgrades are in very good condition, like the perforated leather, 3 spoke wheel, etc...

I'm looking with cash, but I don't know how long I can hold out, I'm itching to order my Shine body kit. I kinda wish I could find the 2000 SC400 I checked out last year but turned down due to engine needing to be rebuilt.

I'm in NY too. I am surprised I missed that one. I check craigslist daily even when not really in the market.
What town?

At the extreme opposite end of the spectrum, there's a '95 SC400 with 190,000 miles for $13,000 in Tigard! Search the Portland, OR craigslist. Doesn't even have any interior pics, although Italian leather interior front seats are claimed. Basically a bone stock car with a fresh paint job.

PM sent. It's listed as "SC 400" which always makes stuff easier to miss.
