$51,603.00

Kidding. I heard there is a way to look this up though with your VIN number on the Lexus website? Can anyone elaborate on that? Thanks. This is an interesting thread.

I bet I can top that.

Clicky

OP, it also depends on the year so the 97+ are obviously going to cost more new then say a 93.

My 98 was $45,605 new.

In 2004 this exact model was selling for about $25K used with around 80K miles which is not bad if you look at it this way.

People who bought a new loaded Acura TL for about $32K would take about the same hit in depreciation as an SC buyer would. But the SC buyer would be in an SC while the other guy is in a glorified Accord.

Of course, you'd pay the penalty with insurance.

The 99 and 00 SC4s were the most expensive at just shy of 60 grand. Production was so low dealers were selling a bit above sticker. Not like the 10 grand above sticker people were paying for the first PT Cruisers in fall of 1999 but a few grand for sure.
