Arrow My FIRST CAR ! Guess what it is?????

After searching countless hours, days and nights, years and decades, so many sleepless nights, i FINALLY came across ........... the ONE. I call it "The GHOST". This is my first car and I am BEYOND excited about it. Its a 98 SC400 with 108k on the clock. Originally a Florida car, the owner drove it up here and i found a deal I couldn't pass. Everything on the car is MINT and thats not an exaggeration. I dont even have my license yet! Im only 17 and still in high school. I only have a permit but Im getting my license in November finally. I paid for the car myself so it feels real nice.

Ill take better pics later. These for now

Congrats on getting your first car! It looks like you got a really nice SC! I would've killed for a 98+ SC400 when I was 17.

Now you need that license and you'll be good to go.

Your SC is so much sweeter than my first car, which was a 1980 Olds Cutless Supreme.

That car could have been sweet had I turned 16 during the early 1980s rather than the late 1990s.

Nice SC looks real clean. My SC is a Florida car to at a 113k no rust but that Florida sun sure doesn't do justice to our headlights luckily there's many informative DIY on here. My first car was an Acura Legend which would have been cool except it was a first generation 171k 1989 sedan and it was 2002. And yes I also wanted a SC when I was 16.

Congrats man on the pickup! I have a 92 Sc400 for my first car! I just turned 18 a week ago I've had my car for about a year and a half. Unfortunately nowhere near the condition yours is in but take care of that gem! You're definitely gonna be driving a head turner!

SWEET! That's a beautiful car, Mastana. Congratulations on finding it!

Please don't do to it what I did to my first car, at 17. I put a maintanance challenged, but completely straight, 1969 Fiat 124 sport coupe into a big tree. Today, 38 years later, you can't even find one of those. In 38 years you'll never be able to replace the SC.

Great find. If the inside is anything like the outside then there is almost nothing to do to it....

Just keep it safe and garaged during those NJ winters.... It is a 15 year old, after all (almost as old as you!!!).

Congrats.....

congrats on the new car, drive safely and watch out for other drivers too! and if possible keep mods on this beautiful car to a minimum, maybe a drop and different wheels but keep it nice and simple.

Yeah...my first car was an Oldsmobile Cutlass...a 1971. Got it when I was 14. I'm now 17 as well, and I couldn't stay away from the SC!

@ OP: Car looks great! 108k is not many miles so this SC should serve you well. To start out, you might want to polish those headlights.
