Hi Folks,

I am seriously in the market for a used SC430. Given that what would some of you think would be a fair price ( yea, I know 'fair' is an unknown ) for a '02 SC430 with 23K miles and in near-perfect condition? A very long-time friend of mine ( a car-nut like me ) has looked it over and says that it is in unusually good condition with only one rock chip way down low in the front valance.

I'm just looking for your thoughts.

Thanks,

Jerry Baumchen

I don't know what a "fair" price would be, but, based on what I see on eBay and discounting the ludicrous valuations on websites like Kelly Bluebook, if I was in the market for a low mileage 2002 SC like you described, I'm guessing I would end up paying between $14K and $19K.

It really is about the local market, how many people are interested in it, and how much you like a particular car ... i.e. do you like the color, options, etc.

cars.com is a good site to compare whats a fair price in your area. I recently picked up an 04, very good cond., with 50k miles, paid 25k, it was close to other ones with same milage. My wife loves it, it's alot of car for 25k, no regrets.
