Default 97 sc300 for $9000???

Just wanted to ask clublexus, came across a 1997 black sc300 with about 120 k for $9000. seems kinda high for what he's asking but overall the car looks good, light damage on the paint n interior. car has a clean title n everything. u guys think the price is a little too
high?

in CA, yea. In other parts of the nation, thats kinda normal. $7-8k would be more realistic.

If it's a manual though, or RSP or black/black, $9k is legit imho.

Too high unless it's a 5spd, and especially since there's paint/interior damage; should at least be flawless to ask for a price like that.

I just found a 97 5spd with 85,000 miles for 10,900. I think I might ride out and take a look at that one. It's the only one I can find in my area. This is at a dealer though.

Way too high. Especially with damage and automatic. Pass it up, patience is a virtue.

Yeah that's way too high. Almost as bad as this person trying to get almost $7 for a 92 with "low" (140k!) miles! Wow...
