I came across this while looking on ebay motors

i know 5 speeds are rare, but cloth interior? i never saw cloth interior on an SC. Do any of you have the cloth interior or have seen it before?

 

yeah, i recently saw the 2nd gen GS300 with cloth interior. how ghetto if you ask me...

 

That is nasty. I would be embarassed to own a Lexus without leather.

 

I have seen two LS's with cloth and both were 1st generation. I heard that you have to special order it.

 

DAMN! That has to be the RAREST SC ever! 5-speed, clothe seats, and no moonroof! The description says moonroof, but I swear at least four of those pics show there is no moonroof. That's a rare find man!

 

Who knew these existed? Thats freakin rare I wouldn't mind having that SC.

 

I bet $$$ that the prior owner didn't want to pay the Ke-aaaash to replace the leather seats that were worn; so they had it re-done in cloth. Only costs about 300-400$ as opposed to well over a thousand.

Could have beeen an insurance vandalism scam. Car got broken into, and leather was messed up - insurance dished out the money but the owner took the money and ran...and installed cloth seats.

I think cloth interiors were only available between 90 and 92; and the SC wasn't one of the models that had it as an option. Like the 90 ES250 had cloth option.

just my .02 cents

 

I have seen 2 SC's with cloth and no moon roof a few years ago and thought WTF? I just look through the 92 brouchure and they were available in Ivory fabric and gray fabric. In the 95 brochure Ivory fabric was also a choice. Cant imagine why someone would not choose leather.

Can anybody figure out what that red thing is by the steering wheel?? Ive been staring at it for a while...> .....looks like they killed the audio unit too....

Scott (T51R) has tan cloth interior. I felt it and it seemed pretty comfortable. Its not cheap a$$ cloth (like what is found in my 4Runner) but is very soft cloth

 

Judging from the fact that its a 5 speed with no moonroof ( i think) and cloth interior, i believe the owner just didnt get ANY options at all! hey maybe he didnt have the cash back then..heh..looks like its in ok shape though.

 

my dad had an es with cloth and no moonroof. Had to be specially ordered.

 

I think cloth was standard on many of the 2.5 and 3.0 Soarers, but have never seen it on a US car. I saw one "plain jane" '94 SC4 when I was shopping (very clean car, btw) that had leather but no moonroof, no traction, no heated seats, base Pioneer stereo - its owner was 6'3", didn't miss the moonroof a bit...

 

LOL, I just saw today a 99 GS 300 with grey cloth interior. Looked extremely plush not to mention comfortable like my living room.

 

I once read that in the Japanese domestic market, many buyers actually prefer cloth (very nice velours, not something that's burlap-like and looks like it came out of an old pickup truck), for its feel. I think even a decent proportion of Celsiors have cloth in Japan. And I did see a 91 LS400 on eBay with cloth (it was OEM, not a re-upholstery). It was in Phoenix, perhaps the original owner didn't want to burn him/her self on hot leather in the 110 degree heat
