I keep telling my wife that and the mere fact that I only have 73K miles on my '93, why should I
change. She has a hard time driving the SC and wants a 4 door. The IS 4 door only has marginaly bigger
back seat leg room than the SC and I don't want to go to the other Lexus models because of price. Plus,
trade in value and/or private sale is a big laugh cosidering how classy a car the SC is especially when in pristine
condition. As alicias said, I don't need fancy gadgets and the new car smell and above all, every time I drive
this car it is like a new experience. Guess I am just trying to reconcile my keeping the car... "Sorry wifey, the '97
Honda CRV 'run about' wagon will have to do".
As an added note, my total expenses to date for this car is about $2500 over a 15 yr period. This includes all oil
changes (25) and other fluid changes, tires, belts, headlamps, etc., ...everything except gasoline of course.
Maybe I am a bit lucky but I think it has more to due to with the claim that Lexus is truly a low maintenance car.
Thx for your comments,

I completely agree. I bought my 93 SC400 new and still drive it everyday. It is by far the best car I have every owned and while I know that the day will come when I'll trade her in, at this time I have no desire for another car. Well unless you have a Continental GT or DB9 you'd like to trade. My SC is still as solid as the day we drove it home from the dealer. It is also the most economical car I've every owned. It is serviced by the dealer and they always have a buyer for it when I come back to pick it up after any servicing. So I'd have to say if you enjoy a car that is fast, powerful and like sitting in your favorite livingroom chair, I'd go for the SC! Remember new they sold for 55K and that was in 93. A lot of money then and as it still is today.
Best Car?
