WTT: 1995 SC400 for an IS
Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a spot where a practical 4 door would far outweigh the timeless and stylish ride of an SC. My SC isn't perfect but for what it is, it gets a ton of compliments and is hand down the best built car I've ever owned. Anyway onto the details:
1995 SC400, 4.0L v8. Diamond white pearl with tan leather interior.
259k miles, I am the third owner, the second owner is on here.
Timing belt was last done by Hiro's auto in Costa Mesa at 199k. The oil gets changed every 3,000 miles with a high quality synthetic and napa filter.
Interior is 7/10, the climate control lcd is bled, there is a small tear on the drivers seat and a few of the cluster bulbs need to be replaced. All needles have been replaced, and new cluster bulbs as well as a parts gauge cluster are included. if I replace the bulbs and the climate control lcd (~$100) it will easily be a 9/10.
A/C is very cold, everything works on the car except for the cd changer, which I sacrificed to run the AUX cable. Totally worth it, and sounds amazing with a factory 10'' subwoofer. Very balanced and hits hard.
As for the exterior, it's an 7/10 as well. It has a full 97 conversion, sans the foglights because I like it better without them. It gives an aero like appearance to the factory bumper. There is no body damage just scratches from the original paint and the new paint on the conversion pieces didn't hold up so well. Some chipping on the front bumper and cracking on the back. I want to redo the paint but with diamond white pearl is not something to be half-assed so I was holding out for the real deal. It still looks amazing and cleans up fine but if you want to make this thing the bees knees, invest some money in the new paint.
As for modifications, aside from the AUX hack, there are Powered By Max coilovers, and 18x9.5+12 Varrestoen wheels all around. It's sitting on almost 225/40/18's. It is ready to go and I daily it to and from school. I just feel like I need to take a break from the car life for a bit and once you drive a Lexus you won't want to drive anything else. Atleast that's how I feel, so the obvious choice is an IS. I have no stipulations on my end, just please be a clean car that has been properly maintained. Auto trans is no big deal. I'm willing to add cash if need be, I would value my car between $5500-6k based on what I have into it. Anyone is welcome to come look at the car and drive it.
********Car is very low and you must be considerate of where you are driving.
Here are a few pictures, I will get interior and engine bay shots during the day time.
Thank you for looking
