That's way too high! My 93 was $5,000 with 91k miles and in mint condition. I wouldn't pay over $7,500 for 97/98 SC. Definitely wait it out until a better one comes along.

 

Somebody has high hopes

 

Thats a great price for a 1997

 

is this the white 97 5spd sc300? that looks extremely clean from a dealer in a showroom kind of place..the dealership is called autoshowcase? if it is this was the 1 i was going to buy but i called them up and the said they sold it 2 weeks ago but i forgot to ask how much....that car was probably one of the cleanest sc's ive seen

 

paid 7 for my 97 2.5 yrs ago.

 

way high, I say find one outta state, fly over there and drive it back to cali.. alotta work but hey, if that'll save you a thousand dollars

 

Getting one from out of state would be a good idea too! If you're interested in coming out to Oklahoma City to get one, there's a really nice black 97 for sale near me.

 

ok so he wants 10,900, time for negotiating. Cant hurt to ask and figure out a compromising solution leaving him with enough cash to get by and you a hell of a rare peice of beauty, i cut 3 grand from the asking price of my sc by negotiating but being realistic too so good luck and hope you get that 5spd sc

 

YES. I feel like the art of negotiating seems to be dying. A phone call is free asking if he may be willing to negotiate on the price. Also if you actually go there, have cash ready, and would be willing to buy under the right conditions, you've given yourself negotition leverage. Doesn't hurt to try and the more you negotiate the better you get at it. Remember the seller 9 times out of 10 wants to sell something more than you want to buy something. I'd say try both of them and see what you can bargain it down to.

 

I think we talking about the same one. In Maryland? I lost my 95 SC4 in a divorce so I'm starting from scratch. Only other ones in this area are two 98s. One a 300 and the other a 400. The 400 has 208k miles and the 3 has 127.

 

I paid 14K for mine with 66K

 

I hope that was at least 5 years ago

 

yyeah if its the white 97 5speed for 10,900 in maryland than its already sold bro...i wanted 2 get that one but i havent sold my sc4 yet so..but good news is i found a 95 supra na 5speed targa top for 15,000 with 100k say what you want but id be willing to pay 14 for it b/c a supra is supra you know

 

I paid $5K for my 98 Sc300 with 162K miles.

Oh, and it had new Michelin tires, chrome GS300 5 spoke wheels, a new PPG paint job, and the T-belt service done late at 150K instead of 90K. Plus no ghetto repairs or cheap parts on it. Dealer serviced with all OEM parts.

Only major flaws were a cracked tail lamp, driver door pannel that had a tear in it, slight haze on the headlights, and blow trunk lifts which have all been taken care of.

Pass on the 97 and try to find a 98+ to get the gated shifter and revised engine. In fact, go for a 98+ SC400 which is the best model in the SC line.

 

wow i feel bad i bought mine for 625$ from a old lady and it needed a battery, i have like 1025$ after fulll tune up
