What would you Pay for a 450whp 1997 Turbo SC300?

97 SC300, quartz rose - tan / black interior
95000 miles - 10000 since going turbo
Boostlogic t61 turbo kit.
550 injector & headgasket
Built Auto - by Batleground in Atlanta - Review to follow.
SAFCII
Greddy profec B
Cobalt boost, air/fuel, EGT gages
MSD 6 & nology wires
Supra TT Wheels with 275 nitto Drag radials
Dual electric fans.

Ok, now everyone don't panic. I am not sure if I am going to sell it or not. Just trying to get a feel for what you think that it maybe worth. I know what the book value is and I know that I will never get everything out of it that I put into it.

The reason I am thinking about selling it is because I am starting to run into limitations on how much performance I can go without putting MAJOR money in it. Over 500whp. Suspension is my next mod then after that I am not sure. I am not into the stereo and bodykit thing. Plus an oppertunity has arrised that I could pick up an unusal performance car. I would love to have this performance car but I could not use it for a daily driver.

So I am just tossing the idea around. All inputs welcome.

Your too funny. The car without a turbo is worth that.

The color is called Quartz Rose. Depending on the light it can look Silver, bronze, pink, lavender, and yes purple. Its really a neat color, at first I wasn't sure if I liked it.

You definitly do not see too many this color.

If you're lucky you could probably pull $20k for it...it you find the right buyer that is. But I doubt it sells for more than $20k unfortunately.

I agree with Mike,

The right person would probably pay close to $20k for it, but I would say $18,500 is a more do-able price.

Unfortunate to see a boosted 300 leave CL - so I hope someone on here will buy it.

Good luck,
JOnny
