I just went to go look at some SC today and i am soo disappointed. I parked my car (stock) next to a SC also stock, also black like mine. My GS looks soo much better than the SC. they sc looks too round and the back isn't very attractive. i think i'm going to sell my 93 gs and get a 96-97 first gen gs. Here is my question
starting in 95 the SC had the audible alarm, so when you arm and disarm the door lock it makes a beeping nose(sounds soo dam good). i was wondering if the first gen gs also had the same noise. anyone of you 95, 96, 97 owners have factory keyless entry that makes a beeping noise when you press the botton?? Thanks.
btw. i'm looking to get another black on dark grey leather gs. exactly like what i have now. and with lower miles so you guys can look forward to TURBo. lol

The last version (not SC430) of the SC300/400 looks pretty nice. It has a different front-end and rear-end that makes it look pretty slick. I prefer this version over the first version of the SC300/400. Some people in the SC300/400 forum retrofitted their older version with the new bumpers and it looks really great. Just another option.
Here is a thread where the person converted their 95 to a 2000. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...300+conversion
This thread lists the parts needed for the conversion. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...300+conversion

but those cars go for like 18,000 or so for a 97+. or if i get a pre 97 and convert it it will cost me a good grand or more. i prefer to spend 15 or so on a gs that has a little more space and looks much meaner and than the sc. the gs can be fixed up so much nicer than any sc i've seen.

The SC and GS are both very nice cars, and of course, it all comes down to personal preference. I prefer the GS because of the room and because it is bigger so it is a little more imposing. I also like the look of the car.

BTW, did you figure out the problem with your engine stalling?

If youre patient, you can get a great condition 97 sc300 for about $16,000, but most likely, this will be from a private owner. I say go for the 97 unless you are fortunate enough to find a 5 speed in good condition.
