I work for an auto finance company here in Phx AZ, and we just had a repo go through auction--a 1995 sc400-pearl white, gold package-every option-beautiful-flawless car...Anyway we repoed it cause they were a 1st payment default and they put 3,000 miles on it in 2 months!! for a total of 143,078! At the auction the battery wouldn't hold a charge and the oil was a quart low but my Boss bought it into inventory and is offering it to me for $6000 !!?? He keeps saying "you don't want to buy this car"--But my only thought is "What other chance will a dumbhead like me have to own a Lexus?" I have to decide by the end of the week.. What should I do??

I saw it- drove it- now I love it!! Some guy saw me and said "that car is you"--I wondered if that meant I was high miles, but very clean--I guess I can live with that...

Yeah whats the deal with that steering wheel, that looks tight.
How bout some pics of that wheel.
Looks like you got a killer deal man.
I got a 92 SC400 loaded but with 200000 miles on it for $4500 and I love it.

Here's another pic--my only problems now are my total lack of an owners manual, and I think it useto have an integrated phone but its missing. If you press the buttons on the left of the steering wheel it tells you to get service through verison wireless--is this so if your car gets stolen it can call for help?? I did end up with 4 extra floor mats--so if anyones interested........

I thought it was a wood wheel at first too, but it's actually a really trippy steering wheel cover that feels like a laminate but is laced onto it--I don't know if I should take it off or what?
