Default Looking for a sc400...help on deciding

My Camry just died on me. Sad, but moving on. I have always shown interest in the SC400 but doesnt know much about cars except for its looks and numbers. I have only a around 9 grand to spend. Help me pick a SC400!!!

Year?Mileage?accessories?

i live in KC and my zip code is 64124, if you dont mind hit up some car search at cars.com or autotrader or...and give me a few pointers.

Thanks

Beautiful cars but very expensive to maintain as oem parts are very expensive . Be prepared to drop another 2-3k part replacement. Take the care to your mechanic prior to purchasing it and have him look specifically for these items: Oil leak, worn front lower control arms, check for power steering pump leaks, alternator amp read ot test (gets damaged due to leaking ps pump--common prop on these cars), trunk shock failure (ez fix), check steering rack bushings for wear, check speedo to make sure all needle lights are working (can be fixed for $200+),etc. Any problems listed above that apply to your potential SC use the costs a bargaining tool to reduce the price of the car
