Aha well see what the plan for this is, I was pointed to a GS and well, idk if you guys know this about me but I hate coupes haha, so I might move to the GS forums, it's a bummer because I honestly love this forum, you guys already know though I'm not going anywhere 
so I may have a couple parts up or sale,

As awesome as the SC forum is, the GS guys have done a lot more to the 1UZ than us SC guys have. There seems to be more aftermarket support for the GS specific 1UZ than the SC 1UZ for some reason. I find myself going over there from time to time inquiring about things not really touched on by the SC forum.

I'm on the same as u as far as being in college and only making a 11/hr as a pharmacy tech. I drive a 95 sc400 and I love it. The V8 rumble satisfies me for now. Once I get wheels and a lip kit ill be done til I finish school. Then out goes the v8....in comes the 2JZ.

I've had a 98 SC300 before and two non-vvti SC400's. Something to consider is maintenance. To me the 300 was cheaper to keep than a 400. Do NOT let gas mileage be a factor in your decision as both are very close.
I still prefer a V8 though. High mileage not bad for either one as long as they were maintained. In fact, run the VIN's through Lexus.com and you can see their dealer maintenance history.

shut up. and while some can afford to do a swap, NA-T, etc, of course the 300 is the way to go, but if you're like me and just want a nice smooth daily with some decent stock power, the 400 would be the way to go. Everyone has their own preferences.

also, 300's will be cheaper to maintain and repair parts wise.

I never planned to even buy an SC in the first place, haha it happened to come to me, lol. What you don't know about me is I am a sedan person, I like having four doors, from my scion xb, to the LS, and when i moved to an SC It annoyed the crap out of me.
also, 300's will be cheaper to maintain and repair parts wise.

look at my garage! envoy, spectra, 93, accord, altima...i got the sc and i love it, people ask for rides and with 4 doors i cant say no, but now they can go **** themselves and get a cab
you need to enjoy not having any dependents for as long as you can!
