Ask to get it for 2800 OTD. I have never seen a gold and black one before, but it appears to be in good shape.

try to talk them down a little. They probably want your GSR more than they want to keep that SC, remember that.

That doesn't look like the OEM sandstone color, likely a repaint.

I'm not too sure that's a dealer option, I could be wrong but regardless it looks good from the pictures. The paint looks close to an s14 gold. The interior looks too nice for a 174k. Did I go with ocd keep it that clean? Personally id rock that at a lower price

Yea does not look like an OEM paint color to me. Ask for pics of the engine bay and door jam and maybe you can see what the original color was.

Definitely not a factory color. The interior looks sweet though!

Definitely not an OEM color (Especially for a '95 year model) based on the door jamb info sticker, the color seems to read "3L2" which is the color code for Rennaisance Red.

Find a different dealership..both those cars have some questionable flaws that I would be weary of..or do the right thing and buy an SC that is for sale in the classifieds.
