Not sure but it's ugly. I plan to replace it! I googled the dealership and have read many reviews of horror stories from previous customers.. Actually I haven't read a single positive review from anyone who bought a used car through their used lot, Diesel Direct. This has me on the fence and after speaking with the sales person it also put me off to see how arrogant he sounded. I may let this one go, but haven't quite decided yet.

It looks like a great car, it's just that the person did some stupid little mods that didn't really do anything, in fact they could hinder performance. The spectre air filter for example. The inside is perfect, and the exterior minus one dent looks near perfect. I say keep it, and fix the previous owners mistakes, then take it from there. Ebay has a good lemon policy so if you get it and the tranny is shot or the engine is shot you can get your money back with ease.

Guys, the brown in the radiator actually reflects that it's about to go pretty soon so that should be the first upgrade that you should do..

First post. I'd call myself a Lexus loyalist. I currently own a 2004 RX330 AWD and a 2002 GS300. I've owned several other models, including an ES250 and 2 ES300's. I bought the GS in 2004 on a whim, planning on buying an SC. I went to a dealer, drove the SC, was an SC400, '98 I think, and ended up driving off with the GS.

Anyway, I've returned to wanting an SC. Been looking for months, but just haven't been ready to buy yet. This one, however, really looked nice. I saw it both sites prior to its sale. I hope it turns out well for you. Sure looks like a beauty for the price and a nice clean history.
