Default Are you rocking a Lexus from the "1900's" ? Post here!

Is your car from an entirely different millennium? Was it made in the 1900's? If so post up here and tell us about it.

What year is your car, and what year would you LIKE to be driving? If a different year, why do you prefer it over your current car?

I have 2 SC400's and love them to death. I'd never part with them for a newer one, but i would LOVE to add an SC430 to the stable sometime this year Both mine are '92's.

I'm on my second SC. First was from 92 but was totalled. My 95 is a dream. Still feels more solid than most of the new cars I have test drove. I'd like to pick up a GS400 or an 06 IS350.

93 SC400. To be honest, I like the car, but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be over all. I think if I had one of the newer ones like the 98+ with VVTi I might be happier. Right now the SC is my daily beater and I called off all plans to modify it. If I don't need to save money for a new house I'll dump the SC and get either an IS350 or GS430 in a year or two. Otherwise, if I do have to save for a new house I'll dump the SC and buy a beater Civic, Accord, or Camry to save money.

I'm on my second sc300 a 93, the last one was 92. I love this car I'm having a good day if I can cruise the freeway with the windows down, sunroof open, and music blasting.

It's sad to see fewer SC on the road. I can't bear the thought of replacing her

I like simplicity and although the LS has enough comforts, it is still a put the key in and drive kinda car. I would have liked the VVTi of the '98 but I'm quite pleased with the characteristics of the '97. If I were to buy today, no doubt I'd head to the '05 LS 430 in a basic trim maybe with the Levinson.

The alter ego would enjoy another '97 but work it over with the 04+ 4.3L with 6 spd tranny coupled with the LMS super charger or mild turbo. Tein CS's with EDFC and some 19" Work Wheels.

I'm driving my '92 SC with 183k on the ODO. Don't really prefer to be driving any other year as this one suits me just fine. I would enjoy having the newer motor that made 300hp at the crank though!

I rock a 98 GS400 that only has 45,000 miles on it and it is just a dream to drive.

I am now thinking of selling off my wifes Expedition to buy her a GS 300. I have to admit this is my first journey with Lexus and I can guarentee from now on I will only rock a lexus.

I am totally convinced that this is the new line of vehicles for me. I only wish I could afford a New GS 430 or maybe even a LS 430

Revhard191

P.S. Can anyone tell me what correct color car I have, (Neo, I have the same color as you.) and I try to tell others that ask that it is an Antique Brown Metallic. I would like to know the correct color so when someone asks, I am able to tell them the correct color. Thanks,
