To all:

Wanted to know how far do the doors of the SC300's span? I'm looking at this car, and the current owner is saying that's how far they span. I swear to god, it looked like it was 35-40 degrees. Also, the drivers side door sounds like it's hitting the base before slumming shut. Any advice?

Lexus employed special hinges on the SC to open the door up wide for easy in/out. The downside is that they are known to wear out or break and let the door sag. You are probably seeing that. The repair is a couple hundred bucks for parts alone, I believe I read. But also, there is some backyard fix involving welding. I have not had this problem myself.

Also, a good body shop would be able to prop the door with those adjusters and correct the swing. Offer less to cover the cost if you like the car.

That was going to be my stategy anyway. Now i have to adjust my strategy to accomodate the doors. There are other problems that will need to be fixed too.

You guys never told me how far the doors are supposed to open? I did want to know that the most.
