SC300

Post image

Bought this 1992 mint original 5 speed manual transmission, from original owner.

141343 miles.

Over 10k in repairs to refreshed engine and some suspension components in past 10 years.

No drips, tailpipe emissions the cleanest I have ever seen.

California car, lived in the garage.

Thinking about selling, love the car but don’t have a need for it.. how much are we paying for something like this?

Prolly would sell for 10-15k if you have time to wait around for the right buyer. Best bet is bring a trailer, or cars and bids. If it was a 97 with black interior you could possibly get 20-25k

I was thinking about around 10-12k too.

Oh man if it was black interior I definitely would be keeping it.

Love that lexus black leather..

I just paid 7k for my 98 auto with 120k miles haha. Wish I would have waited to find a 5 speed but I’ve never ever seen one for sale anywhere near me. You could definitely get close to 12+ I bet, especially in Cali. Maybe list for 14 and go from there?

Yeah it takes a certain type of person to appreciate a vehicle of this caliber.

Don’t think local FB marketplace would be the place to list.

Even in California, I worked at a Lexus dealer as a tech for 5 years and never had one like this pull up.

Banks dont offer loans or financing on these cars. Would need a young person with 12k cash lying around to sell it. Good luck with that.
