Tshensley Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Ive been checking these out lately but havent been able to find any good reviews on it. So I was kinda wondering if any of you have had any experience with them or anything to watch out for with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 They are great, if you are going to swap a Supra motor into it. There's a guy in Texas that has done a bunch of them. 800HP sleeper luxery car's FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tshensley Posted June 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Well these are the 2 that I have been looking at http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/compare.jsp?mod_bookmark_id=null&search_type=both&num_records=&make=LEXUS&distance=300&model=SC300&address=43506&certified=&advanced=&max_price=7000&bkms=1151531775886&min_price=1&end_year=2007&start_year=1981&isp=y&lang=en&ref=srl&compare=204527766&compare=204476566 I called about the one for 3995$ considering its a lot more in my price range and the guy really couldnt tell me much other than what was posted on autotrader. He said he gets 200-300 cars a month so he cant really get too much info on each car. So to me he seems kinda shady about it but the price is a lot more suitable to me.

NOS50 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I will run the VINs tomorrow to see if they have any service history at Lexus Dealerships.When I was looking at a a couple of LS400's I ran the VIN on one and seen where it had been in a Dealership about 2 weeks prior and had been given a quote of about $3000.00 to fix.The owner had declined the work so I decline to look at the car any further.

VincentRX7 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I have a '95 SC300 NA-t that I'd sell. I want 15k which sounds like that is more than you want to spend. I think it makes 450-500 rwhp. I think it is a neat car...a real sleeper except for the huge FMIC, supra wheels and front brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tshensley Posted June 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Thanks Nos and tam thanks for the offer but it is way out of my price range but I would be interested in seeing some pics if you got em. Thats the route I would like to go is NA-T down the road sometime or another. But at first I want to just make it a good reliable car....... for awhile and then add some power.

NOS50 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 The green one was at a dealership at 89237 miles and it looks to have a good maintenance record.The black one was last at a dealership at 34832 miles so your guess is as good as mine.

Joe Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 There really arent that many issues with the SC300s. Typical things to look for are oil leaks from the front and rear main seals, valve cover gasket areas. Minor power steering leaks, etc. Wear and tear items such as brakes, tires are common. All in all we dont have that many problems with the cars at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tshensley Posted July 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Hey I actually found a manual that is not too far from me. But are they really worth the added price on them.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
