daily driver = sc400

project car = sc300

go for a manual if you like to go fast or want to mod, or an auto if you use as a daily driver, autos make the car worth more as well.

black interiors are more rare then tan and gray

and 98+ has the vvti motors which are the best if you are daily driving an sc400 and thats what you should aim for, plus it has the 97+ body styling which is the most sought after.

95-96 is what you should go for next, and if you have to then get a 92-94

thats a very short description, hope it helps

the v8 sc400's have been known to easily get up to 300k

use the search button though to find some of the info you seek, should be covered a lot, its pretty basic stuff

I would say LUCKY SC pretty well summed it up. Clublexus also has a classified section.
