Default Another gem: 27k orig miles - 97 SC400

Since I've been seeing several threads about low mile cars I stumbled onto this car today. It's super fresh. Not sure they'll get $17,000 for it but....

It would be interesting to chart out the past 17 years and see when its market value actually hit that point. I'm guessing around 12 years ago. Unless you believe in these being collector's cars and appreciating with age, that's pretty ridiculous.

Yeah exactly, even in MINT, perfect condition it's worth about $9K to NADA and KBB.. Gonna be a tough sell at more than twice it's worth.. Nonetheless, very clean and I've always loved that color. Since its 8 miles from me, I may go see it just for fun.

True, but, on the contrary, I bought my 97 SC400 on Monday for $1300 lol... 207k miles but still lol...

That's 20 year old Lexus tech in 2014 gas prices!
Actually, this kind of pricing is evidence of absolutely nothing if it doesn't sell for close to that.

If it was 8 miles from me, I'd sure as bloody look at it! Really clean SC though
