sc_toy Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Pretty cherry lookin. I would have liked to have got one like that. I'd make sure you go down and check it out before bidding though. I wouldn't want to spend that muchh money and not know exactly what I was getting myself into. I wish I could have got a 5 speed SC300 but we only got the 400 in Canada.

Wizard Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I hope you are aware of how rare those cars are. I asked Lexus customer service via their website how many were made for my model year (95) and they replied saying that 782 5-speeds were made in 95. Thats not a lot. The owner of the local dealership, who has been there since it opened in the early 90's, said he's only seen two come through his dealership, of any year.

DrifterX27 Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 nice, i would change the rims first thing. the leather on the seats are perfect. texans keep their cars nice. other than that, u will have lots of fun. 89k miles, its still so young. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 sory to bust your bubble but that says reserve not met. aka they dont have to sell it. id say the reserve is around 12k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southernsc300 Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 the lights look good, interior is clean, paint seems to be good. I suggest u get rid of the rims, and remove the pin stripe. To bad it has a front license plate, kills the look of the sc imo. the leather looks very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xl8rguy Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I agree with the front license plate thing. I have a '97 (white too) and I live in Houston. I love my car. Mine has 130k miles on it and it runs like new. I've actually test-driven new cars and prefer my SC300. You're lucky to have a 5-spd. Good luck with it.

white ice Posted September 27, 2004 Author Share Posted September 27, 2004 well i just drove it home on saturday and the smile still hasnt left my face. the pictures don tdo it justice. i checked the lexus dealership here and the guy said it was one of the cleanest titles he's seen, EVERY 5k miles it has been serviced and ill be doing the 90k service in about 500 miles. he also said it was the first sc300 5spd hes seen come through there. as far as the rims, i do like lexus chromes better. they did not have the key for them so i have to track down the rim company and hopefully find they key. i ended up paying 12K for it.

white ice Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 i am not looking to do anything extravagant to her. i was thinking the TRD airfilter since i am replacing the air filter anyways. will i notice anything with the TRD filter (more growl, hp, etc)from the reading that i have done this filter is better than the k&n, is this true? any other ideas that are simple but effective? oh yeah, was thinking of getting a chrome grill. thanx. white ice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
