Armchair Appraisal
Well, after 15 years, it's finally time to let go of my beloved SC400...
Sandstone/tan, repainted nicely, TT springs/sways, brakes, Bilsteins, recent lower control arms. Staggered 17s, Borbet type T I believe.
The bad, 186k, needs tires, windshield.
Engine has some mild port work, center resonator delete, and raised fuel pressure to compensate, passes smog always.
Any guesses on what it will go for in the Pacific Northwest, Seattle area?
Dealer offered me $1,500 trade in, had to think I could do better, since I just sold a beater Tercel for half that

$3000-3500 would seem about right. I just got my 99 for $3000 and my brother picked up his 92 SC400 in very rough cosmetic shape last week for $1500. Just a guess though.

Thanks for the feedback, I nearly thought I was losing it ...
That's exactly what I was thinking as well, havent really looked around at prices lately, the couple that I saw were obviously way over priced, so I was kind of lost.

Thanks for the encouragement, I know it would be perfect for someone, is a lot funner to drive than its replacement that's for sure.
Maybe if I spray down the engine with tire shine it will be worth more, just like the dealers do...
It's a 1992, so that definitely brings it down a notch I suppose.
