How much would you pay for this SC3
I'm still in the search for a SC300/400, came across this one from a dealer:
1998, 126k miles, silver/black.
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/ctd/2361235333.html
Dealer retail is obviously high.. but
1. how much is it realistically worth?
2. does it seem like a good buy?
Thanks!

That price is almost a grand over NADA clean retail. If you could get them down to about 7 max then you would be doing good. The car does have some nice features, black interior being the big one. If you're planning on customizing the car anyway and would definitely switch any car you get to a black interior spending some extra now to not deal with the headache later may be worth it to you. Are you wanting a later model car specifically or are you just wanting any sc, that does play into whether this is a good deal for you or not.

Black is hard to find I'm telling you. I just bought mine about a month ago, I was looking for a black one but couldn't find any, when I saw mine posted on craigslist, initially I thought it was black, but when I looked at it I realized its blue. But it was in such good condition, already slammed and on rims I couldn't miss on it.

I think about it like this, if you want a smooth clean daily driver the 98+ cars are great but they still command a higher price so you have to be willing to pay a little more. But also, if you are going to buy say a 95 model for $4000 then put a 97+ body on it then you'll need to paint it then you want a black interior so you'll either have to dye what you've got or switch the whole thing, why not just pony up for a newer one ? In the end you'll spend about the same and with the newer car you don't have to do any of those things if you find the interior color you want. Just something to think about.

def looking for a daily driver. sc400 is a first choice, but its hard to find one in my area thats in good shape and late model.
how are the 97+ different from the older ones? I don't seem to be seeing it yet.
