kln552 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 OK everyone . . . noob here, but I've searched every way I know and learned a lot, but I have a specific question for a specific situation. I used to have a '92 SC400 that I wish I had never given up. Been shopping for another SC. I'm not a kid - 57 and the car's primary use will be cruising for pleasure or commuting 75 miles a day. I'm down to 2 SCs. One is a '97 SC400 with 65K miles, beautiful condition inside and out, virtually immaculate, good records, carfax, etc. for $12.5K. Other car is 2000 SC300, 51K miles, fanatic original owner, synth oil changes every 3K mi, and this car to all appearances, inside and out is new . . . looks inside/out like it rolled off the floor yesterday. Bone stock except for 17" GS wheels and new tires. $14.5K. Both are 4sp autos, the SC300 has the VVT-1 heads. I don't care about the modability, I do care to have decent acceleration, nice quiet cruise and long term reliability. I know the SC400 will accelerate slightly faster, but If I want more acceleration than the six has, I know how to add the turbo properly. I doubt that I will, but if I want to I know how and have the $$$. Primarily want a smooth, quiet, reasonably quick cruiser that will last. Not telling you colors cause I like both so it aint' relevant. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grnsc40095 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 kln552, I would take the 2000 SC300, it has the current up grades. The listed price on both seem a tad high, did you check the blue book value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
