Default How much would you guy pay for this 1999 sc300

I was wondering how much you guys would pay for this?

116,000 miles
KBD - Front bumber
KBD - Sideskirts
Vertex - Rear lip (Not installed)
Duraflex 50mm rear overfenders (professionally molded)
Hic roof spoiler, and window visors
New timing belt, TPS, and ATPS
Newer front and rear brake pads and rotors
BC racing custom built coilovers with swift spring
Megan Racing FUCA
19" SSR Vienna Courage fully polished completely rebuilt
pbm lugs
Wire harness already tucked so no worries
Great condition black interior

Nothing wrong with the car just needs body work and paint.

It’s worth more than 2 for sure just bc 99 and with all the mods been done to it, but yes bodywork and paint is expensive unless you know how to.
It would look awesome painted though, as far as drop though, it’s too low for me..
Whats under the hood is also counts, when it comes to if you want the top dolla for your sc
What’s under there?
Got a pic?
Edited: I took a closer look at the pics of your front fenders and the guys are right, it’s worth about 1500-2

Don't pay much for someone else's "unfinished project". "Just needs A and just needs B"....quickly adds up to thousands of dollars just to have a presentable car. Never know what you'll discover on a project car like that. Who knows where they cut corners and what's hiding underneath it all.

With all the mods and the wheels alone, it likely will go for a lot more than $1500 or $2000. More in the $3-4K range.

Still, you are looking at $4-5K in paint (if done right) and a lot of adjustments to the suspension as it is too low..... If the interior is as nice as you say, that is a positive. Miles are fairly low, too.

Good luck on your decision and if you do acquire this one we will want you to document your progress.....

I completely agree. Cars like that usually end up costing a lot more in the end from what I’ve seen.

If I am not mistaken the OP has owned this car for two years or more. This just proves that SCs do not have good market prices regardless of what it has especially if it doesn't look good externally like having a good paint job.

With the sh?tty market of SCs , he is a lot better off parting out the car at his local craigslist or wherever and will surely get a lot more than the figures mentioned here. Just with the wheels and great condition black interior , he will probably get that $1500 - 2000 mentioned here as the car's sale price.

Just like what others said, modified cars have hidden stuff underneath. With a car that low and offset tires, you will need to check your suspensions. Paint job and fixing what's needed to be done will cost you a bit. Damn LCA's are whoppers!!

No interior pictures so I can't evaluate that aspect. 116k is nice and a new timing belt on a VVT-i engine is a plus but from the exterior I can see it needs a lot of work. At least if I were to buy it there would be a lot of exterior work factored in. Would have to see it in person to evaluate under the skin. Modifications are always very personally subjective but for me if I were looking... the suspension, wheels and bumpers I'd be planning right away to change completely (again, modifications are subjective for all).

I would try to get it as low as possible, just from looking at the pics I can estimate roughly 4 or 5k more to finish correctly appx.
