Is this a good deal?

Hi guys,
This is my first post. I don't own an SC yet but am shopping for one right now. I found this one that I wanted your opinions on. Its got a new paint job and he says it has no dents or dings. I noticed in the pictures that the engine bay is white and the door sills are white. I asked him if the car was white before and he stated no and that it was normal for it to be that way. Since I don't know I also was wondering what you guys think about that and even if it was a white car does it matter? I personally prefer it to be all one color but I love the color it is now and the fact it has a black interior is a big time plus. Also he has it at best offer should i ask lower? Thanks in advance guys. I'm hoping to post back soon that I'm a proud owner of an sc400.

To me its not what others think it s worth, just remember its built by the #1 production car manufacturer in the world "Lexus". Its what its worth to you. I wouldn't pass up a car thats going give me years of enjoyment 4 a couple of $100.
Personally mine to me is worth $100,000. GL

The ride looks a little shady to me but it might be in perfect condition

Look in the Vehicles Classifieds section here. The benefit is that *most* people on this site really know what they're doing with their cars and have them posted for a fair price. Plus there's a bunch of rules that need to be met before you're able to list a car for sale, so the chances of a sketchy car is less than Craigslist.

def overpriced. i got mine with the same miles, and with coilovers, TT brakes all around and many more expensive things for half that price.
the second one seems to be in great shape but again ask for the VIN then go on the Lexus owners website, you can sign up and put the VIN of the car in and it will tell you when maintenance was done and at what miles. hopefully they took it to the dealership while the car was still on warranty.

If you're gonna go as far as San Diego, might as well get mines. Most of the maintenance and repair stuff has been done to it, that you will more likely have to deal with and spend thousands on with these cars. I'm just selling mine cause I have 2 already, and I'm in need of a 4 door sedan or an SUV. It has been a good daily for me for the last 4 years. LMK

Mileage is REALLY low - I would wonder about that as well. Odo fraud is very prevalent.
Beyond that though - are you OK with the exterior color, interior color? Will you be in the long term? It is always better to take your time looking for the right one, as opposed to jumping on any that are available.

Yeah you're right about that. I don't like being lied to. He did text me later and gave me the vin number the only problem was it didn't exist when I checked it on carfax. I told him and he said I musta copied it wrong but I copied and pasted from my pc. He told me he'd send me it again when he got home from work but that was hours ago.

I found one in San Diego that looks pretty good. It's a 1999 black exterior and black interior sc300. He's owned it for 10+years. It has 128,000 miles. He's kept up on all the maintenance which means he's already done the timing belt/water pump and anything else it's needed. It looks nice from the pictures. He's asking $5300 but I can talk him down to $5000. He took his ad down but I have the pics I'll upload later if I can.

This is the one for $5300. I think it looks pretty nice. Does it look already lowered to you guys? he didnt mention anything about mods but it does look lower then stock.
