Default Whats this thing worth not sure????

I just wanted to know what the value of a 1992 SC400 with 72k 2 owner car all service records since day 1 paint and interior are perfect. I just want to know if its worth throwing money at this car
Thanks

That looks flawless. I'd say at least $5-7K.
Buy that thing and bring it to the Chicago meet next year when it's warmer outside.

Love the gray interior, advertise it for what you want, and later you can always come down.

Production dates and vins dont matter in these cars...well unless the vins dont match. The vin matters on some collectable cars and only in some rare instances production cars today but given the current state of the economy nothing is pulling in what it should.

I'd say keep and repair if it was my decision...mine is in the same condition and i wouldnt even cionsider dumping it now given what you could get in return in cash or in another vehicle.

Exactly. An SC in this condition is worth holding on to these days with all the beat-up ones I see IMO.

Ok the thought is to keep the car. Just curious what mods tend to hold value and add value to the car? T70 how do you think the car would look with a Vertex kit? haha

Keep the vehicle and know that you have a very clean SC. People love cars like yours because they are the rarest of all. Low mileage perfect interiors SC's are very rare. Unfortuantly, as others mentioned before this is a buyers market and you probably wouldnt get what you could if the economy was better.
