Default Possibly lowest mile SC300 with manual transmission?
Hi guys,
My name is Chris and I work for Five Axis. I've been fan of Lexus products and own a 2nd gen IS myself. My Boss Troy found this little gem a few months back and I wanted to know what you guys think of this car.

It's a 1993 SC300 Royal Jade Green pearl with a 5 speed manual transmission and only 19,247 miles! Could this be lowest mile SC300 with manual in the States? Car basically looks and smells like a new car! It's like looking at a time capsule. Enough with the words, please check out the pictures!

That's not a oil stain, It's sprayed undercoating that's still fresh!

I'd believe you if you said zero miles. That's nuts how clean everything is. Might as well sticky this thread and call it The SC Brochure.

That's a find! Really nice! It would be a shame not to enjoy it but what are your plans, given it's near museum quality?

Wasn't expecting the coilovers with stock wheels, that is low mileage if its true.
got some kind of leak underneath you may want to look into the rear seal may have gone bad from sitting so long.

We were planning to keep it, but probably put it up for sale soon. It's just too nice to mess with it.

We were planning to do light mod and drive it, but probably put it back to stock and sell it soon.

That's not a leak at all. That's sprayed under coating for ya. Not a single drop of oil on that car.
