Default SC430 Dune Buggy

So... um... yea. I'm just going to leave this right here and let you discuss. This was from another forum of which I'm a member and he purchased the SC400 from this gent who did this to our beloved auto. Thoughts?

I would assume that the car had major mechanical issues, very high mileage. Maybe non working top, motor, or trans blown. Sometimes it's no harm no foul.

when you want ultimate Lexus reliability in your dune buggy.... this falls under the category of "what has been seen, cannot be unseen"...

A possible write- off. Maybe can only be used off-road, like private property.

Love it. A very cool and extremely creative ride. If the top still worked it would be even cooler.

I kind of like it, I wouldn't do it, but its definitely interesting. Like others have said, its possible the car had a branded title or something, so why not

I don't think people would be doing this to a Mercedes SL or a Porsche or a Maserati
