3900.00 - 1998 Lexus SC300 w/ rebuilt title
1998 Lexus SC300 (JT8CD32Z1W1001593) 125,000 miles. No trades, located in Atlanta.
This car has been my daily driver since March 2011. I purchased the vehicle from an insurance company. The vehicle was issued a salvage title due to the vehicle being stolen then later recovered. The vehicle was found with no wheels and no keys. I put a set of wheels on the car, got a key made, and had to have the car inspected by the state in order for it to be issued a rebuilt title. The car is ready to go. The only work I have done to the car besides getting wheels and a new key was replace the starter (common issue) and replaced the accelerator position sensor. Car has been super reliable from day one.
Since I purchased the car in March, I obviously have no maintenance history. Car appears to have been well taken care of. It does appear in the past that the car has been completely repainted, I am not sure why because when I purchased the vehicle, the only issue was that the wheels and keys were missing. Paint is in fair condition, I would say 7/10. It could probably get up to an 8/10 with a good buff. Keep in mind I am very picky. Car looks great though.
1. Car needs new front rotors. Pads are 50%, but there is a vibration when braking, especially at highway speeds.
2. Car needs new trunk lift supports.
3. Crack in lower part of front bumper.
4. Small ding/dent in roof above drivers door, can probably be pushed out.
5. Power antenna works, but does not retract all the way.
6. Will need new tires soon. Probably 10 - 15% tread remaining all around. Spare tire seems as if it was never used.
7. Car probably has a minor oil leak somewhere because when I replaced the starter, I did see some oil on the engine/trans but it has to be very minor because there are no oil stains in my garage at all & it doesn't use any oil in between oil changes.
8. A few minor nicks/scratches around the car, but you have to be within a couple of feet to see them.
9. A wheel stud in the rear will need to be replaced.
The car has tons of potential and good luck finding one cheaper. No odors, clean interior, everything works including CD changer. Super reliable. Only reason I am selling is because I need to free up some cash to purchase my wife a car for Christmas.
Believe it or not, the car was actually dirty/dusty in all the above pictures. Below is a picture after I washed the car...
