MY seller was asking 5500 for a 1995 near mint with 126,xxx and got him down to 4800 about a month ago. You and I are both on our honeymoon with new Scs. I am not jealous of the 5 spd cause I prefer to do nothing but gaze ahead of me when I drive, it's therapeutic but if one came my way, let's just say I would learn to row REAL QUICK. any recommendations on how we can find one for ourselves?
I did tent the windows on the car this week , really looks like a different animal. I tint the windows a lot on any car i buy not only because it looks good, but it also really helps preserving the interior. Ill post some pics later.
Sounds like me, the 'less is more' approach, or as the Euro guys call it 'OEM+'
I'd change that wheel in favor of the woodgrain 3-spoke one, a nice 35% tint [not too dark], all the lighting, maybe get some bigger exhaust tips and paint the canisters black so the tips stand out more.
Even the mirrors with the LED's to update the exterior a little bit;
Exterior wise, there is many, many nice Lexus OEM wheels that look great.
17 inch wheels;
18 inch wheels;
I like the look of the last white sc with the chrome wheels, what model are those wheels.
well i would kinda sorta think so because I waded thru 3.5 months of poorly written and quite misleading ads and needed basic transportation heavily. I figured I got everything my last DD did not have minus a few city MPGs. I don't drive highway so nothing lost there. i have not done my first oil change on it yet so once I get some energy conserving oil in Kakhee, he should respond with my +2 mpg.
By 'not the same realm' I mean that there's only 120 1997 5spds made, whereas there was almost 800 of yours made. Plus yours is the older body style. But a nice car nonetheless, but these are the reasons why a '97 5spd is so sought after.
I know you were asking about those BBS style wheels, they call them the "spider" wheel on this board. You can buy them at your lexus dealer, or do what I did and find a Lexus dealer on ebay who was cleaning out his warehouse, $900 new in box. I think those might be chrome plated in that picture, as mine are sort of a gunmetal grey finish. Here's some pics of my 1992 SC300/5 Speed with those same wheels.
