Check this link. There's no info about the phone though. I believe that was a dealer add on.

Original MSRP will be around 40-45k. If you have the phone, you have my deepest condolences.

Mine came with the "Lexus Phone" option. It's not worth keeping, trust me. Years ago my family had a "portable" Motorola car cellphone that had a big transceiver in a carrying case with the handset on top of it. You plugged this into the accessory outlet. The antique optional Lexus-branded cellphone system is pretty much exactly the same (it's transceiver is even a Motorola specially made for Lexus) other than it being wired into the car's console, steering wheel and trunk with factory wiring harnesses. This was a company phone and we basically never used it other than for business calls or short personal calls.

Those were the days when you had to watch that for that unforgiving "Roam" LCD indicator to come on which told you that you'd left your immediate billing area code one county away and were now being charged significantly more per minute for long-distance. I can't remember if it cost even more for a call on the east coast to west coast.

All of that is based on old TDMA analog technology that you can only find at junk electronics recyclers now.

It's easier to get an aftermarket Bluetooth hardwire carphone kit that has a corded handset option and have that installed in your SC. I believe Nokia still makes one that might work with an iPhone or Android.

Edit: I suggested the Nokia kit for those who MUST retain a corded handset. A far more practical and intuitive (for today's phones) update is to:

1) Remove the old phone system
2) Perform the DIY factory stereo Aux-In mod or install a head unit with an aux-in
3) Install a hardwired bluetooth handsfree system. iSimple's TranzIt BLU-HF works very well (it uses an aux-in audio connection and remote mic)
4) Install a +12V accessory powered USB port inside the center console under the lid for charging your cellphone of choice

My '95 400 was like $55,500 or something, fully loaded. Had the window sticker in the glove box when I bought it.

I get way better than 23 on the highway lol...

$54,965 with every option EXCEPT heated seats :/

I took the phone out of the center console because there was hardly room for a pen in there..

Many thanks to all for the information.

I bought a 400 new and drove it for 412,000 klm but
have lost the original documents.

Needless to say of all of the cars I have owned, over 50, the SC400 is without
question the finest vehicle I have ever owned, and I had some good ones.
