jesus christ 800$ for an sc400? What year is it? Usually the SC400's holds more book value than the SC300 because well, it's the 400. I'm interested in what kind of condition it's in for it to cost $800. Salvaged title? Post up pictures. The 1UZ has been said to be more reliable than the 2JZGE. And Gas Mileage is practically the same for City and it gets more MPG on the highway for the SC400.

thats a steal get it. my sc400 has 205,000 miles i get 20-25 miles a gallon and it's extremely reliable. Not to mention i race it all the time and it doesn;t break down. seriously as smooth as the day i bought it.

That is unless its stolen or worse...someone died in it
If someone died on it.. I have no problem as long as the car is in good condition and has a legal title. My 240sx had ... mysterious round holes around the seat, and .... this dried red-brown substance that had a strong iron smell to it........ Yea I tossed that seat out.
