wow, that is very nice and clean. If I didn't have mine I would seriously consider that one. I guess I'll just have to stick to my street sleeper aspirations for now

Looks great! Funny that they only made the SC3 5-spd until 97. In Japan they had a 5-spd 1JZ until the model change to the 40-series.

That SC on autotrader is ridiculously cheap. Something seems fishy.

How much do you think the white 5 speed should be worth? $16,900 sounds a little too high.

Well with the miles the book value of the car based on condition would be around $13,000.00 but because of how rare the 5spd 97 editions are and being that it has low miles someone will buy it for $16,900

I've seen a 95 5 speed with 150k miles sell for $11k. It all depends on what the buyer is willing to pay.

That car was on the trade forum a while back. Read the story from the link below.

Edit: Found it.

it also depends on where the car is. value is reletive to location. if there is a very high average income in a certian area, people would be willing to pay more for a car, whereas if the average income is low, as will be the price... that just seems to be the way things go. everything is reletive. makes sence to me. ill sell my 93 5speed with 140k on it for $10K anyway of the week! and as you all know... its clean!

I've been watching that white car for a couple days now. I'm very curious to see how high the bidding goes. I paid $18K for my silver 97 5spd with black interior. I got the car last November and it had only 69K miles. If you go by the book value I overpaid, but where else was I going to find a car like that? The 97 5 spds are rare, especially if you are looking for certain color combos. The only one I would rather have instead of mine is the RSP one.

well first ive heard alot of bad stories about autotrader- people sending in money just to get ripped off- the car posted on 8 different auto sale websites for different prices- in my opinion i would never buy anything on the net without being able to check it out first- alot of people out there just dont give a ****- and will take your money and run- good luck catchin them- second that is a gorgeous car though- GO GET IT CHAMP- peace wtf
