Default 1997 SC400 in Great Condition

Its a 1997 Lexus SC400. It is the most reliable and problem free car I have ever owned.
Looking to move on to a 4door or SUV and start a family so this beautifully awesome car might have to go. $4,750 or best offer. Make an offer and if it's in the ball park we can make a deal

1997 Lexus SC400
auto, 182k miles- always serviced by Lexus of Lehigh
power everything, brand new $1200 all-season Bridgestone Potenza tires on upgraded 2008 IS350 18" rims. All belts changed within last year, oil changed on time always.
Exterior is Lexus Platinum Metallic which is like a blueish silver, changes color with light of day, factory original paint in great condition. A few small nicks here and there nothing at all major on the exterior. Originally a Florida car. Have all service records. Has dual airbags, Traction control, heated front seats, tilt/telescoping steering wheel.
Interior is nice too, Black leather seats in front are cracking but no rips or tears, back seat at the very top has two small tears that might require some stitching or replacement.
Dash is perfect, In-dash DVD/CD-Navigation system, just need newer map cds to use Nav as I prefer using my phone. Power moonroof, heat working great, the best Viper alarm you can buy with a cell phone like transponder that works from over 1000 ft away to monitor car.

Im open to all offers that are reasonable. Only known issue is the the power steering pump leaking on alternator which is of course the only common problem with these cars. Probably a 200-300 dollar fix, Hate to give this car up, owned for almost 6 years and have loved every minute of it. Very rare to begin with, super rare in this color combo, and incredibly rare in good, unmolested condition for under 5k.

Thank you

Default part of the family

It has been great to us and took us from Miami to PA and back 7 times in 5 years but looking for something a little bigger. Super clean and we'll cared for compared to most I've seen and very rare to begin with. Took me over a year to find it and bought it out of state sight unseen. Great car , I'll miss it but great deal for anyone interested.
Thanks man

Will try to take today. Got some snow last night and cars been sitting for about 2 weeks so will try to get some pics and clean it up a bit. Interior is black, seats in front have some cracks but nothing serious and no tears. Rear seats are perfect on bottom and most of top, the seams at very top have a few places where theyve come undone. Used to have tints so never noticed or bothered me. No tints allowed in PA. Dash looks good, all the glass is good, carpet is clean, all cupholders work perfectly and sun/moonroof works great too. Will try to get those pics up asap.

Default Pics

Here are some pics I took today. Even after sitting for about 2 weeks and being snowed on, iced over, and rained all over the car still looks great. Every time I give it serious thought, I doubt wanting to sell this car. Interior hasnt been armoralled or leather conditioned in about 2 months but still looks pretty good. Definitely clean and cared for. One pic shows back seat top portion where seams have come apart. Small fix. Make me an offer, come check it out, have hook up for shipping company thats fairly affordable. Worth every penny to whoever buys it and puts the effort into a few fixes to bring it back to perfection.

Thanks guys

Just needs alternator which just needs to be installed. Otherwise in excellent running and physical condition. Have been searching for 300s/400s for my wife everywhere, hard to find in great condition. $4500 make an offer. If still up for sale by tax refund will be keeping it. Best car I ever owned.
Thanks

Final sale, $4200 and its yours.
Needs alternator replaced and slight power steering leak rebuilt and you will have a great, rare, reliable car. Truly beautiful. Will include Remanufactured Denso alternator and a bleach bottle custom shield with the car for price.

No buyers by 2/10, will fix car and keep probably forever.

thanks

Final Final Sale. Will be fixing car the weekend of the 14th if not sold before.
Needs only an alternator and possibly a power steering pump or hose to fix a very slow leak.
Have remanufactured Denso 100 amp alternator and custom bleach bottle shield ready to install comes with price. $3800 by the 13th and its yours.
Car is beautiful and runs great once fixed. Great car and cant stress enough the rarity of one in this condition and color combo.

Thanks and hope to hear from you soon. If not, another 5 years of problem free service from my Lex is ahead for me
