Help: What's my SC300 worth?
Hi everyone,
This is my first post to this forum, although I referenced it plenty of times to help fix a door handle linkage issue (thx btw!).
I bought a 1997 SC300 from a friend of mine back in May, and although I love the car, I need to sell it to get something a little more family friendly
Here are the details:
1997 Lexus SC300
Clean title
88,xxx miles
3rd owner (2nd was my friend, 1st/original was her grandma)
Positives:
Easily passes smog
Everything works
Runs perfect
Sunroof
Leather interior in great condition
10 disc CD changer in trunk
Good gas mileage (26mpg avg)
I had the following work done at 82,500 miles when I bought it:
Timing belt, pulley, and tensioner
Water pump and coolant
Serpentine belt and tensioner
Transmission fluid and filter
Brake fluid flush
New brake rotors and pads all around
Rear struts/shocks
Spark plugs
Fan clutch
Distributor o-ring
Negatives:
Driver seat tear (see picture)
Driver window is slow to move up
Beauty ring missing at key/ignition
No key fob/remote lock
Two dents around rear passenger wheel well
Oxidation on rear spoiler
Hood and trunk need to be detailed from parking under trees for a couple years
Motorized antenna goes up and down but clicks
I Figured I would get the best idea of what its worth from you guys who know these cars inside and out.
Thanks ahead of time!
