What a shame. SC abuse. At least it has "no obvious signs of being smoked in".

That is not a bad price for that car. I would buy it if it were for sale in my area. A few grand and you could resell it for a killing.

Didn't you see the paint (or lack thereof) on the hood? Obviously the seats need help too. Anybody that would allow their SC to look like that, most likely also ran the poor thing on 84 octane gas, fram oil and air filters from WalMart, and 99 cent per quart Exxon oil. The cosmetic issues on this car are going to be the least of your concerns...

I'm thinking it needs more like $4k to $5k in work. The interior is a nightmare. ALL the needles on the gauge cluster are out. Paint is shot. If the paint and interior are that bad, I wonder what's going on under the hood.

What's really sad is that someone took the time and effort to put some 95+ wheels on there and let the rest of the car go to hell.

If someone wanted a donor car for a 2JZTT swap, then $1500 for the car is not a bad deal. Car should have racing buckets instead of leather anyway. But, thats just me after seeing Soarers in Japan.

The only thing shying me away from it, is "The motor runs and drives but has a loud knock."

yah that thing that looks like a reflection of a cloud on the hood is really fadding paint. the leather isnt cracked its actually ripped, lights are smogged up really bad, a tear in the hood liner, the carpets stained, speaker covers are torn, leather on the shifter is torn, not ice cold a/c, the radio dosent work, a loud knock in the motor.. hmm i wouldnt take it, to much money to invest just to fix it up, even if it is at a low low price.
