Default Finally, i can oficially say that i am part of the Lexus SC communtiy :)

After months and months of searching, i found a SC300 that seemed to suit me. It a grey/charcoal colored 93. It has the grey leather. Fully loaded. Oh yeah... Its 5spd as well . It has 129K miles, but 90% were higway. And the lady i bought it off of was the owner from 1996. She put that last 103k miles on it. Middle aged professional lady. I HIGHLY doubt it has been dogged at all. Super clean. I was surprised. I think i may have paid a little more money for the car than kbb, but definately woth it to me. I guess i paid less than "market value". $6700. I feel that i got a good deal. I hope to have pics up soon. Man, im so excited.

yeah man $6700 is a good deal and for a 5 speed even better, congrats man. I need to buy a truck or suv but I really wish I was looking for a 5spd SC. Keep an eye on the group buys man and if your cluster is going dim then get in on the buy with OLT, I have a blue 32 and it is better than I expected they rock.

Actaully the dash is all good, except for some dimming at the temp gauge. I will see if i can just swap the bulb for that for now. But if i find myself w/ some extra cash, i would def want to do the 32 white and blood red needles .

Yeah, they gotta go. Im saving up rite now for some Volk Gram light Pros in silver. they are kinda pricey so that may be a while.Im trying to find some supra tt wheels for now tho.

And yeah, the pass. side headlight has condensation on the inside. Im gonna do the oven trick this weekend and see how that works out. Hopefully i will be able to save myself from buying a new headlight. Just hope that this "oven trick" will not be the reason for me to get a new headlight . haha.

Thanks for the welcome guys.
