That one looks pretty good to me. I don't like the dent on the passenger door but that can be taken out, the headlights need to be wet sanded but thats easy, it has a lip, and wheels already. It all depends on how it is mechanically man. Take it out for a test drive.

The price doesn't seem that bad for how clean it looks. I would sell those wheels right after buying the car though.

looks like a clean SC, especially for the age...
make sure its in mechanically good condition as well so youre not always having to throw money at it...
and if you do pick it up, lose those wheels and get some oem's at least.

I've got a question. For you guys with the Nakamichi sound, how does it sounds compared to the regular premium audio?

I don't own a 400 but I've sat in a couple LS's with the Nakamichi system and it sounds good. Everything sounds crisp and nice bass

Congrats on the $18 an hour, I'm trying to find a job right now but its insanely hard esp. in SoCal.

GL on your search for a 400, better do a W58 5spd swap to have even more fun with the 1UZ
