hey guys, i want to know which one is a better buy......
a 97 sc400 with 100000 mi for 10 grand or a 92 with only 33000mi for 11000?
both in mint condition.
please advise!!

 

Very tempting, I would probably go with the 97 because I like the overall look better. I have a 93 sc4 and picked it up with 160k now with 230k and still runs strong. while mileage is a factor, it should be ok on the 97.

 

thank you advan7! i think you are right!

 

I have a '92 with a 187k on the odo now. Mileage isn't as much of an issue. I would go '97 also, but for me not because of the look (I happen to like the 92 nose and tail better). But due to the increased HP!! The 92's were overrated at 250hp. Some estimate it to be as low as 225!! Those extra ponies are invaluable if you're getting the V8, since we are VERY limited to what add on mods we have! (Unless you're prepared to spend BUKU dollars!!)

 

so far we all kinda going for the 97! Hmmm, i think i will get the 97 than!

thanks guys!

 

My vote goes to the 97 as well. More HP, looks better (IMO), updated center console (with gated shifter). If the car has been maintained well, mileage is not going to be a problem anytime soon.

 

i have checked, the 97 model is not gated shifter!

 

Added in 1998 IIRC.

 

Yup, 97 was the body update, 98 was the gated shifter.

Oh by the way, I vote for the '97 assuming it's same condition as the other one.

 

and 290HP VVTI engine

 

Ooops, sorry about that. I thought I was sure about that. But what do I know with my 93 . Well anyway, my vote still goes to the 97

 

thanks guys for all the input! you guys are the best!!! CL rule!!
