Since I don't know I also was wondering what you guys think about that and even if it was a white car does it matter? I personally prefer it to be all one color but I love the color it is now and the fact it has a black interior is a big time plus. Also he has it at best offer should i ask lower? Thanks in advance guys. I'm hoping to post back soon that I'm a proud owner of an sc400.

To me its not what others think it s worth, just remember its built by the #1 production car manufacturer in the world "Lexus". Its what its worth to you. I wouldn't pass up a car thats going give me years of enjoyment 4 a couple of $100.
Personally mine to me is worth $100,000. GL

the second one seems to be in great shape but again ask for the VIN then go on the Lexus owners website, you can sign up and put the VIN of the car in and it will tell you when maintenance was done and at what miles. hopefully they took it to the dealership while the car was still on warranty.

I'm just selling mine cause I have 2 already, and I'm in need of a 4 door sedan or an SUV. It has been a good daily for me for the last 4 years. LMK

Beyond that though - are you OK with the exterior color, interior color? Will you be in the long term? It is always better to take your time looking for the right one, as opposed to jumping on any that are available.
