Default New SC owner

Hey guys/gals i've been on this forum for awhile i have been planning on selling my integra GSR to get a SC and swap well i finally sold my teg last weekend and i had a nice 1998 SC300 picked out and to my heartbreak it was sold, I think i ended up better in the long run, i lucked up to come across this 1 owner garage kept regularly lexus serviced 1995 love it!

i'd say the car is a easy 8.5 of 10 at least, every single thing works on the car inside and out, all service up to date..

only blemish is the small spot you can see on the passanger side hood about 8"s long .


great thing is now i have $ left over for my swap or wheels and suspension






i've been into hondas for about the last 5 years, getting older so i wanted something a little bit nicer to mess with, after driving this thing 7hrs back to my house i don't even want to ride in another honda lol and i didn't think anything could replace my teg

Looks like you got a really good deal. I had a green Civic for 9 years before my SC.

Nice Welcome to CL.

It's time to spend money on that. Lexus parts are not cheap unlike Honda of course you know that.

Congrats man... Car looks in really good shape.. Its funny how I got the same feeling after I picked up my SC last month... Ever since I got my driver license I been a mustang type of guy.. I still have my SVT, but getting SC400 was definatly a good move.
Good luck with the ride.

you know i was really worried about this at first but it seems like it's not to much differnce on some things, like IMO toyota motors are alot cheaper then honda motors to buy, honda motors are waaay over priced, and looking up regular maitnence parts seems like some jz parts are a little cheaper some just a little more.

The thing i really notice a difference on is the ammeneties, they seem kinda expensive to replace, and body parts, headlights, gauge needles, and of course having to buy bigger wheels lol...


Thanks for the comments though guys, I have plenty left over for a swap which is what i think i'm gonna do first then wheels and suspension
