Checking in with a '92 5-speed SC300. I chose a '92 because it's the most cost-effective base to start with since I was going to overhaul the entire car anyway. Top to bottom, front to back, the entire car is brand new.

You just can't beat it for the money. I'd do it all over again if I had to.






Good thread.

If 35 is old...ancient means I'll want a Buick Regal at 50+.
In that case...I'll hang onto the LS...that will mean I stay 35.

My current 99 GS4 is my second Lexus, bought it two years ago with only 26K miles. I don't see any major improvements in acceleration, handling and no AWD option in the 06 GS4 so no plan to get the new GS anytime soon.

1995 SC400. I'm 400 miles short of the 200k mark now, and my only complaints are that it's not a manual and I can't afford to fix the damage I did in my wreck a few years back (thankfully it's only cosmetic). I've considered trading it off, but I don't think I could bring myself to do it. I've never driven a car that felt better.

Here's my 94 with 120,XXX miles and it needs new leather to complete the project.

If I could have any lexus, I would go for the sc430 if it were stock form, otherwise the Junction Produce GS400 in aftermarket form.
