Default 97 SC400 going for $1500 on craigslist

was browsing though craigslist and came across this 97 for dirt cheap and thought id share. i think it would make a great parts car, especially for someone with a 92-96..

car is in w. hartfort CT

245k miles with a big *** dent on the quarter panel...there is a reason why that person is selling it for that cheap. Still, if it's just a shell you are looking for and can fix that dent, it might be worth it.

its worth more as a parts car than whole. i'd buy it for that reason alone.

the 97 conversion parts can run up to 1400 alone at rip off prices

Hmm this is interesting. I could use it for parts. Can't really see the pics clearly since I'm on my phone.

Sad to see. But might be worth it if someone already has the GTE to swap into it.

You are correct about the gated shifter but, 1998 had 4 spoke steering wheels. 1999-2000 had 3 spoke steering wheels.
