Im looking at a 1996 SC300 with a original 5spd Manual Transmission, it has 135,xxx miles and clearcoat peeling off the driver side fender and rips in the driver seat. The guy is asking 6,200 OBO and KBB says (in its condition) its worth more around 5G's. Of course, I dont think KBB takes production numbers into account so whats a reasonable offer in your guys' opinion. Thanks!

 

5k? hmmm hows the rest of the interior? rear seats? passenger? window trim is it cracked?

 

Passenger is good, Driver has a deep rip, back seats are like most SC's: used seldomly lol could use a cleaning and detailing I think tho. And window trim is good.

 

Kbb has actually priced it pretty decent but it could be worth even less if it has other issues. 6k is way too much if it needs paintowork and new seat leathers, and for a little more you could have a 97 with the updated body.

 

my thoughts exactly.

 

I was thinking the same thing. Thanks guys!

 

Maybe more around 4.5k? Be a cheapskate. If he says no, keep moving.

 

Really? wow, Even KBB was nicer lol but thank you for the input, I appreciate the advice and opinion!

 

also agree with this, you never know what your guy will go down to

 

Mine was a 94' with almost the same miles and problems but clear coat peeling on the rear instead due to a shady respray. I only paid 5000 which was reasonable in my eyes. So 6,200 seems to be a little steep considering around 7000 will get you a 97, certainly no 5 speed, but a 97 nonetheless.

 

Oh wow that is pretty good. And thats true, I believe theres a 99 or something on CL in my area going for 8K (ill have to double check that tho) in really good condition! I would try to get it, but I really want a 5spd! but this good info, thank you!

EDIT: its a 2000 with 92K! 0_0

 

Go for the 2000. Perforated leather, less common problems, vvti, ...etc.

 

I would, but:

1) I REALLY want a 5spd

2) dont have that kind of budget

 

That price is a little to high in my opinion. $5,000 or less would be a decent price.

 

Alright, i can try that on him, but first I gotta sell the SC400
