With proper maintenance the SC could go beyond 300k easily. Yours is only middle age.
Welcome to the club.

Gary5064 I work in Canton. I drive 30 miles one way to work. We need to meet up one day, I would love to see your SC. Are you a registered Lexus Owner? If not get registered and add your VIN and you can see all Lexus maintenance done on your car. You can even add work done by you on the service history. I have not updated mine however I know they have changed a lot (website) through the years. Congrats on your 1st SC!

You will have a blast on your Asian tour. No I have not been to these countries, but have heard of good things about them. I have been to Japan, Korea and Hongkong.

Do you have a White Crystal Gold too? Wow, now I want to see your car! We have the same interior combination, now keep in mind, I have more than 110K on mine.

Come and visit me in Marietta on the Xmas break.

If you sign up for the Lexus Owners website and enter your VIN, it will tell you exact color name. I believe the White color for our year is WGC – White Gold Crystal. Go get a Touch Up Paint in the parts department when you visit the Dealer. Mine is serviced at the Nalley Cumberland which is owned by the same company as Nalley Roswell.

Oh yeah we can meet at the Outlet store. I do not use the SC for a daily, but I can one day so we can meet up after work. Say the date, as long as it is not raining, I will get the SC out and drop the top.
