Cool.... Now you can post in two forums.... Having one of each (an SC and an LS) makes for a fun journey....

Looks in real good shape and fairly low miles.... Great find..... Go over to the 1st gen SC forum and start getting a lot of ideas for improvements, repairs and mods (if you plan to go that way...).

This is just hearsay, but before I moved out of Atlanta the master mechanics at Lexus of South Atlanta told me he thought the SC was even more reliable then the LS. He did not own one but it's always interesting to talk to them and get their opinions.

One of my SC has 520k miles
I bought it at 21k miles

It has been as reliable as my 95 LS

It is the straight 6

Incredible find, Jim! We had first Gen LSs and SCs in our corporate fleet in the early 90's and the guys loved their SCs as much as we loved our LSs. They were bullet-proof cars too. Congrats and enjoy.

That car looks to be in great shape for being 23 years old! I noticed on the pic of the rim, the Lexus "L" was even oriented in the correct position. Intentional or sheer coincidence & luck? (I'm thinking you're a little OCD like me, so probably intentional? LOL)

Be real careful - the SCs are addictive.
