Default FS/FT: 1997 SC400 Black/Black $OLD

I had this car up for sale a few times but never sold it because of major low ballers and I'm too picky because it took me along time to find this car. I went through 2 SC's before this one and this one is by far the best but now I have a baby on the way and the 2 door has got to go. Up for sale or trade is my 1997 Lexus SC400 black on black automatic transmission just hit 200k miles but runs very good. All gauge needles light up, no bleeding climate control, no cracked door panels, interior in good condition, everything works besides rear trunk shocks. No rust car is originally from So Cal. Paint on wing and rear 1/4 has some fade and tint is peeling (seems normal on all CA cars.) Clean title and carfax on hand. If you know SC's then you know the common problems with them and this car has none of them. Also the '97 black on blacks are highly sought after and rare and I avg 23mpg that's mix highway and city. Even comes with old school Lexus phone!!! Sure it's an auto and not 2jz but those are easier to find now then an authentic 97 black on black. Please do not compare this car to a crappy beat up SC that's worth $1000.

Clean carfax on hand here: http://www.t-netzone.net/documents/CARFAX97SC.pdf

Mods:
Eibach 500in/lbs springs on sleeves and kyb's front and Eibach Pro-Kit Springs in rear
ESM 18x9 wheels 215/45r18 front and 245/40R18 rear tires
12mm hub centric spacers up front with extended studs and 25mm hub centric adapters in rear
Borla axle back mufflers
Front pre '97 lip that was cut and extended.

Maintenance done:
Timing belt @ 140k
Rear shocks @140k
Oil changed every 3k miles
Spark Plugs @180k
Spark Plug wires @ 200k

$OLD or best offer.

PM or text me seven 6 three 350-6 eight 77. I have many more pics or can take pics of anything for any serious buyer.

Bump I need to sell this quick. All reasonable offers will be considered and I can removed wheels to lower price. I'll also trade for a GS or a similar valued 4 door.

Wow I can't believe no one wants a 97 black/black SC.

If you're down I'd be willing to meet you in Milwaukee which is about halfway. That way you know for sure the car is reliable and I wouldn't hesitate to drive cross country in it since I drove it 2000 miles from So Cal to MN already.

Thanks! When the time is right again I'll get another toy but for now to have a car that I drive once a month and does not fit a rear facing car seat is not practical.

I'll take trades for interesting 4 door cars plus cash. I do need cash though since birth is not a "cheap" procedure. "More epidural please."

Hello,

Yes I can take interior pictures if you are serious and interested in buying. If so what's your email?

Thank You.

I found some pics I took before of the interior. Crappy cell phone pics of a dirty interior but overall it's a good condition OEM black interior.

Thanks for posting those. It's looks pretty good but I (unlike everyone else here) prefer the tan interior. Somebody's gotta be digging on this car!
