If it was a SC400 or 5-speed SC300 I'd say yes.

Just looked and saw your ST is also an auto. That being the case, as long as the SC is in good shape and you don't mind fronting the cost of gas then go for it. They're very nice cars, and everyone that owns one loves it. The 4.8-5 star ratings on Edmund's throughout production testify to that. You can always single turbo it and have quite a performer.

That's impossible, I've never had enough to be drunk. I'll suffer alcohol poisoning before any sense of being drunk kicks in, trust me I've tried.
Anyhow... The SC300 is superior in every way to the Celica, aside from fuel economy. If he doesn't mind spending more on gas then he should go for it. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

do you know that the SC300 is a non turbo Supra? other than body and interior, its Identical to the non turbo supra. same engine, same trans, same suspension. etc etc etc. SC300s are VERY VERY boost friendly. they will support 400HP all day long and twice on days that end in Y.
if the SC is clean and in good shape. i would go for it! 5 speed SC's are very hard to come by but they are out there. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo

this is a very hard decision. i would be trading him my st with all the extras...projector headlights..jdm tail, raiser block...power folding mirrors and a lot of extras that i have and i would be throwing in my gt parts car as well with yhe 5sfe still in it...not a big whoop but its something. ive always wanted an sc300 cause of it style, 2jzn/a motor which is a very cspable motor and ive never owned a rwd car.....plus its a lexus. im yet to test drive though.

Being that you're trading EVERYTHING for the SC it should be in top nick. It should be equal or exceed the condition of your car. It should also be on the lower mileage side of things. Preferably one in the low 100's since all of the maintenance will have been done already.

Just make it easy... Flip a coin. Heads you get the SC300 and Tails you keep the 6GC.
