Default Hi New member just bought a 97 sc 300 5spd

This has to be the nicest looking car I have ever owned. I got a good deal not only did i find this beautiful car with a stick but I was able to get black interior and only 27,000 miles !!!!! get this for only $18k cash. I'm looking for a good set of wheels so if you guys can give some ideas on a wheel choice let me know. I'm glad I found this lexus forum as the others i tried seem to be pretty lame. Here are pics of my new baby . Enoy all!!!

Blue
5 speed
Black Leather
27,000 miles
TV
1997 motor (non VVTI)

Does it get any more perfect than that?

Congrads on the purchase- the car is absolutely gorgeous. Drop it, tint it, put on some rims, and you'll be MUCH happier with it.... until the mod bug bites you

Hey thanks for the compliment----The guy I bought it from stated that this blue is pretty rare --something like Royal sapphire pearl blue I think. I have never seen this kind of car with this color. The guy took maticulous care of it with no scratches inside or out. I always wanted black interior and a 5spd is a bonus. I want to lower and put on 19" wheels --I'm thinking lowens--I have 5 k to spend on wheels and lowering springs. The guy isaid he fabricated a custom box in the rear panel to fit the 10" subwoofer ---you can't see it though so it must be a little box below the rear deck. He said he rewired the whole stereo system with monster wire and added all new speakers and amps integrated with the computer in the trunk. The tv has a touch screen so there is no need for a keyboard which is awesome. I feel like i will be ready for a car show soon in this car haha. I feel like I hit the lotto. My ol lady is pissed cause I spend more time with this car then her haha ----

Not only is it blue, it's actually Royal Saphire Pearl -- a color shared with the 97 MKIV Supra.

Those wheels look like they came off an early (93-94) SC... that's kinda odd.


Congrats on the sweet find.

I was always curious as to why some people think certain paint/interior/options of cars make the car rare. I had a rare 84 camaro...it was one of 50 84 camaros with white paint, tan interior, 305 carb, with 2.73's/700R4, exterior pin striping...you get the point, lol

97 5spds are hard to find in the first place, an RSP on black five speed IS actually a rare combo.
