Desertfox Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 I have been looking at purchasing a sc300 here in the very near future (currently looking) I have just joined this forum and have been reading the many articles but are there any other less obvious sources to by then, cars.com and autotrader.com and even the seller forums here dont have too many. I am looking for a car around or below 130k miles and 5 speed, and i would like it to be stock or only slightly modified. Not too picky but its just been a bear to find Also anything i should watch out for? Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor nope...but i should warn you, they only made them for 2 or 3 years: 92-93. not sure but maybe 94 and only a small percent were 5 speed.

jbarhorst2 Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 I am positive that they made 5 speed manual SC300s longer than this. Do a search on Autotrader or something like that. You will find them if you are patient. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockfordFile Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 According to Consumer Guide, the manual was an option through 1998, and ended in 1997 with the introduction of the 5 speed auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 the 5 speed was made through 92-97. if you look on autotrader using the advanced search, you will find quite a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desertfox Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 the 5 speed was made through 92-97. if you look on autotrader using the advanced search, you will find quite a few. I have realized how rare the 5 speed is, but having been driving manuals since i learned to drive i just get bored driving an auto. I am in a poor area to pick up luxury cars it seems so I know i will be driving a bit of a distance to buy it. thanks for the advice so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought two Lexus' off Ebay and love both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
