Dumped the S2000 for this

[thomsbrain]

*bangs head against wall*

Well, you've officially given up on life.

Isn't this the car the Top Gear crew agreed was the worst car ever made?


Edit:

Nope, it was the sequel SC 430 which they called "the worst car on sale today." Not exactly heaping praise.

No, recheck that Top Gear video again

Can't seem to find the vid, but it was of the new SC 430. It's actually pretty dumb because even the new SC 430 is hardly the worst car ever made. Overpriced, yes, but I'd still take one

i was very close of getting a SC300 but all the interior are completely trashed, least the ones in chicago are.


a 1994, 165k just shows up for $6000 in chicago and i'm thinking about getting it. i love the black wood trim.

That looks to be in perfect condition. And an excellent price for a 1995 model. I will keep that model on my watch list. I would expect you can get two golf bags in the trunk. That much for me is a must have.

 

[StageLeft]

Seems decent. Getting rid of the car payment is great and worth tons in my book!

well the sc430 looks like a squatting frog for one thing. I mean that car is just pure hideous. Also the car sucked in the handling department. Never driven the SC400 so cant comment, but lookswise, I think it's a lot better than the 430. I remember lusting after the SC400 when I was in high school

Hows the back seat for adults and hows the trunk?

Looks like a comfy highway cruiser.

Very big trunk......plenty of room for my hockey equipment and rugby gear........The back seats are more than enough for 2 adults. I am not sure about the transmission question though.

I still have it right now......I am gonna have my friend run it through an auction next week........I drove it to work today since it still has a full tank of gas lol

:thumbsup: There's just something about those older SC's that everytime I see one I can't stop looking at it, kind of like the NSX. But that's one clean SC and I'm sure it's going to be a pleasure owning it.

Here's a few pics of other SC's.

On g35 wheels and drop (not bad looking at all)

I wanna get 16k for it but I will probably only get 14k which is what is worth

 

[BlahBlahYouToo]

like I said $540 car payment vs $0.....downgrade or not that's half my rent freed up now

I love my 93 SC400. It only has 51K miles.

The only thing I don't like about it is that they never made them in a manual.

I'm glad to see that the car's value is still up there as these cars have been selling dirt cheap as of late.

 

[kevman]

nice car. always wanted one back in the day- but not many in as good condition as yours.

I don't think it will be that bad honestly. My 3 previous cars were all stick and now I'm driving an auto ( 98 GS400) too. 300hp V8 can be quite fun too.

Unless you get a better sports car, you will miss the S2000 on perfect days
