Old shifter design on newer SC300?
Is it possible, to say, have a 1999 SC300, with the older shifter style, commonly seen on the 1995 models? I've found a car with that (looking to buy), and I'm scratching my head on how that could be possible.

That's what I was thinking too, but look at this weirdness on Ebay:
ebay
I've ran a CarFax on it, it comes back clean (for whatever that is worth), and is indeed identified as a '99 model, yet it has the old shifter.

Ask him to send you a picture of the console lit up - that would be a better indication.
Personally I think this guy is full of ****. He can't spell worth a damn, his writing is atrocious, and who in the world would let a 99 SC300 that is black go for $8000.
This seems like a scam. Not to mention that he has ZERO feedback.

Yeah, I hear what you are saying. I'm highly suspicious myself. Saying you'll take $8K is suspicious enough, then that weird shifter that shouldn't be there--I'm not exactly running to take a look at this one.
OK,
Just looked in their showroom and called the phone number listed - the woman told me that it is the wrong number. Also, they mention a showroom but have one car listed and no feedback. Not to mention they only signed up for ebay 3 days ago
I'd stay well away from this.

Even more confusing is that the needles are AMBER, not red and the backlight is vanilla, not amber. Would have to be a '93 to achieve that. Can't be a 92 because of the pass airbag.
