It looks nice for sure, but get rid of all those stickers, fill up the tires, and check on any maintenance needs from sitting however long. The little details can make a huge difference in desirability.

The biggest factors in high-$$$ SCs tend to be:

1a) Factory 5-spd (SC300).
1b) 1998-2000 SC400.
2) Low mileage.
3) 1997-2000 (full body kit)
4) 1995-1996 (sportier tail lights, dimming mirrors, fog lights, introduction of black interior).

There's probably a decent size gap between 2-3 and 3-4, but at least you're checking off a couple boxes on that list. That doesn't help you with putting a price on it, but at least it gives you an idea what you've got. One of the auction sites (eBay or Bring a Trailer) might be your best bet, as it'll be in front of thousands of eyes and you can let the buyers set the price. It should draw plenty of interest.

Peel them by hand, then use Goo Gone or similar to soften up the glue stuff left behind. It should rub off at that point.

They may leave behind the outline from sun fading around them. I don't know if there's a product to address that. Maybe try buffing the paint once all the sticker crud is gone?

id say you can ask easy 5k just based on the low mileage. IF you do timing belt water pump and everything it needs u might be able to get 8k from someone who had one and really liked it ./
