Cool '97 5-spd SC300, Blk/Blk Hardtop

CAR IS SOLD - Thanks everyone! I'll be back in a couple years...

~Joe

This car's been wonderful to me over the past four years, but it's time to be a family man! Looking for $12k, but I'm a fairly motivated seller this time, so I'm willing to entertain any reasonable offers. Here's the lowdown:

Black/Black '97 Lexus 5-spd SC300 (Hardtop) - $12k obo.
Car has 108,xxx miles on it now, is driven maybe 20 miles, 1x/week when the weather is nice. One of 120 - Now's your chance! Modifications are as follows:

Exterior:

-Full AutoCouture body kit
-AutoCouture 20x8.5/9.5 (+38mm) wheels
-Bridgestone Potenza RE960A/S tires, 95% Tread left
-Shaved antenna, front emblem, rear all except 'L'
-Apexi World Series 2 exhaust, NOT obnoxiously loud
-Headlights NEW, retrofitted with E39 Projectors
-Zeal Function B6 coilovers
-ALL windows tinted, 35% sides/rear, 50% windshield
-Garage kept since I've owned it

Interior:

-Interior has been 98% REPLACED with black pieces
-Leatherseats.com black leather with black suede inserts
-Black suede headliner, rear deck
-Front speakers replaced with MB Quart Premium 6.5"s (X-overs mounted in trunk)
-IS300 Steering wheel/Airbag
-TRD Shift ****
-LED Interior lighting
-NO burnt needles, all original, all working
-Door panels NOT sagging

Performance/Maintenance:
-Recently had timing belt/water pump done professionally, with new Toyota parts from dealership (Have Receipt)
-New Centerforce DualFriction clutch/PP (Less effort than stock and very easy to drive gently)
-Koyo Supra Turbo radiator
-Only Amsoil 5w/30 run since I bought the car at 72k miles
-NO smoke, clean oil, clean coolant, runs *VERY* smoothly
-EBC Green Stuff Brake pads

For disclosure's sake, the bad:

-A/C Compressor whines
-Plastic piece on the back of the front seats is dyed, not real black (But you can't tell... Thus I've not worried about it)
-Plastic surround on front seats is dyed, has scuffs sufficient enough to see the tan showing through, but I'm including (also brand new from dealership) black surrounds
-Both passenger side wheels have been bent, but reworked and refinished. They both balance out just fine, and match perfectly though.

Stuff that you would be getting with the car:
*Note, if it can be, it's a NEW part ordered from Pembroke Pines Lexus*

-Black seat surrounds
-Brand new from dealership foglights housings (Ones on the car are yellowing slightly)
-Carbing Strut Tower Brace (Never installed)

Car is now located in Monterey Bay Area, CA. Of course, feel free to contact me if you have any further questions..

Have a great one, and thanks for the interest!
~Joe

I've had cars shipped before, sometimes it's not as costly as you would think..


CA to TX should be around 500-800

Took car to smog inspection today. I don't register my vehicles in CA, but from what I understand, they sent an electronic copy to the DMV and if the car is bought/registered within 90 days, you wouldn't have to smog check it.

Here's the certificate:

Thanks for the compliments everyone! I have certainly loved everything about this car. I'll have to try to find another one just like it in another couple of years...
