    Mid-Life Crisis Car

    This was my second sc300; bought my first in 1995. Enjoyed it so much I purchased a '98 when my lease expired. The car gets lots of compliments because it has been well kept. I've had lots of offers from interested buyers, including dealorships but it's not for sale. Had the fender and bumper replaced in '13 due to fading; they said it's plastic and the car looks new. Never had it painted and it looks GREAT. I love this car!!

    One of the worlds best from the West.....

    The 1998 model with the inline 6 2jz-ge vvt-i motor, is classic. Lexus only sold 1600 models to the united states. Car and driver best car of the year..This is our second lexus and we love it!! If you're thinking about selling yours..You need to add a couple of G notes to that price!!

    CLASSIC SC STYLE

    This sc300 is a classic style with the performance and grace of a high end coupe, the pearl white changes colors especially at dusk. These older styles are fast becoming classic cars much like the 1992 LS400.
