2000 Lexus SC 300 consumer reviews

I first test drove a new SC in 1994 and fell in love. No, I couldn't afford it. So I saved my money and was finally able to purchase my 2000 SC300 in January of 2004. It did take a bit of patience and lots of looking to find one in a color I liked that was well cared for. This SC had more than 40k miles at purchase, but was flawless. The only option not on it is the Nakamachi radio, but the standard 215 watt Pioneer system is more than adequate. All controls are thoughtfully placed and easy to operate without major distraction from driving. There's more than enough trunk space for road trips. Gas mileage is always as high as advertised but increases to 20/29 when I can resist the urge to "drive" it. The only drawback is it is near impossible to seat two people in the rear seat. One adult can sit there with his/her legs stretched across the seats. It now has about 64k and has required only routine maintenance.
