Default First Lexus

Please help. I am getting my first car soon and it is going to be an sc300 or 400 but im leaning more towards the sc300 because of parts availability and many other things. I know this is what i want so please dont reccomend Hondas, Nissans or anything else i have experience with cars with much more power ( E60 M5, Maserati Cambio corsa, 700 HP Supra) not to mention some track days in these cars. So i know what i'm doing. I've got my eye on a few around town. Please tell me any common problems and some things i should mod/ change. i will eventually do a single turbo kit but the one i buy will be bone stock. I have experience in the garage with the 2jz motors when i helped build/ work on the supra mentioned earlier. I'm much more into cars than most people my age and have alot more experience.

Welcome to the Lexus family

I would recommend you pick up a SC300 with a 97+ body upgrade.
You're going to love the car guaranteed!

The one I'm looking at is a 1998 sc300 auto.

Why you asking us if you "have experience with the JZ, driven faster cars and you know what your doing" ?
Lol

Just do more research on these forums

Welcome to ClubLexus! Don't worry, nobody is gonna refer you to any Nissan, Honda, or anything like that. Anybody that dare do that here on CL would be burned at the stake.

I can refer you a thread, though. It's a sticky, on the top of the SC300/400 forum, everything you ever needed to know is located in there.
