Default Need Help I'm thinking about purchasing a 1997 sc300..

What do you guys think about this? is it a good buy? worth the money? what should I look for before I buy? any common issues? Its a 1 owner car and I did a auto check and got a score of 83 and the similar vehicle range is 36-62. Here is the link to the car: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...rohibited.html let me know what yall think give me some advice... thanks.

That's almost the price of the one I am selling, and mine's a 98. That price seem a bit high especially for an auto 97 with tan interior.

Psh...a drug habit woulda been cheaper than replacing as much as I have...granted, its a project, but getting it back to its former glory before boost can drain an account.

Megan's if you want a decent drop and a good ride as well, price is good too, ask the other users around go they like theirs. Car looks good! Love the 97+
