Maybe it was missing some parts and the dealer slapped some on to take pictures?

I think its just simply someone having bought the car for swap purposes, took the parts he wanted, and then found a way to make it suitable for selling it back off.

Or, maybe he downgraded the 99 sc3 and thought it was a nice upgrade?

Or maybe he bought the SC3 with alot of problems, maybe salvage title and replaced everything he can afford?

Or even maybe he had an old 95 SC3 and while he got this 99 one for cheap he just put everything he can on this Sc for himself but selling it instead?

Or just maybe he is cruel and took everything he can to sell and make profit.

Or! he just really doesnt know what he is doing......

What bothers me most is the price lol.

I noticed the airbags are slightly different color so I'm betting on accident. You guys want in on this pool?

I'm seeing an accident too.

1.) different color airbags (as stated above)

2.) no grill or fogs

3.) no carfax report especially at a dealer
specializing in one brand of car.

Agreed first thing i monitored (besides the hub caps) was the different color airbag. I'm betting on an accident.

Oh God.

They hacked that thing up.


He was probably like..."I have a great idea! I'll keep all the desirable **** on this car and put it on my new one!"


So, you CAN use that as a bargaining tool.

All that stuff, you can take that info to the dealer and tell them you're an SC enthusiast and point out all of those missing pieces and the potential accident information.

You may still have to have the car independently inspected, because it may have been a hit and run on private property and the owner never reported it, but fixed it themselves.

But, if you guys go look at it, be sure to go to your nearest actual Lexus dealer and ask for a print out of all the parts needed to return it to stock, including labor.

For new rims from Lexus with new tires? LAWL

Point out the headlights and air bag/steering wheel discoloration.

Then again, they may just tell you to shove it and GTFO.


I'd give them $5,000 for it max if it were a clean title and $2,000 if it were salvage.

It looks beat.

I'm rocking hubcaps on my SC300 at the moment, of course it just for the snow tires for the winter.
