You got a good deal on that SC! It looks pretty clean and you've got the rare two-tone interior.
As far as the buzzing noise coming through the radio, my guess would be that the factory amp needs to be bypassed. My SC300 did this when I put in an aftermarket radio and the only way to fix it is through bypassing the factory amp or powering your speakers through the headunit/aftermarket amp instead of the factory one.

now i think the amp is aftermarket as well. i looked in the trunk and if i remember correctly, its a kenwood amp. im gunna pop the headunit out today hopefully and check that everythings good there first

thanks for all the positive comments guys. im getting used to the sc pretty quickly and loving it. i drove it for the first time in the snow the other day and it wasnt bad at all. the traction control kept assisting me which was pretty cool since i didnt even know it had that haha.
I got hell of a lot of work to do, which will take time being that im a full time student and i just got promoted at my job. but heres my list of upcoming stuff i gotta do:
-exhaust leak
-hole in dash from double din radio
-fix bad grounds for radio
-crack on both door panels under the window
-refinish cloudy headlights
-refinish fog lights
-replace parking brake boot
-thorough clean, wash, wax
-complete tune up
i think thats all for now.. after i do all of this i think ill enjoy the car stock for a bit, if i plan to mod at all.

It looks like its a two tone interior too.
It actually looks like my old SC. Mine was popped in 04' (Backed in to mailbox) Previous owner before me.
Take a picture of he shift PRND bezel...I can tell right away if it was mine.
Although my old 2tone left me with tinted windows. I did still have the GT+4 on the spare.

my 93 sc300 is doin the same buzzing noise. i swapped a factory 96 unit in mine and that when it started doing it. i only drive it on the weekend and if i turn up the volume i cant hear it. but let us know what u find so i can check mine.
for sure, ill let you know. once i get the filler piece in for the radio im going to check all the headunit wires. if theyre all clean then im probably just going to bring it to someone since i know next to nothing about wiring the amp and all.
