I just recently purchased a 1993 SC 300 a few weeks ago. I have had this beauty in my sights for quite a while for a few reasons:
sophistication that just oozes from each sleek angle of this car
confident strength and solidity as each gear shifts
the possibilities are endless with modifications that almost always look pristine.(generally those who are owners, take pride in keeping this car classy and luxurious yet with a personal flare).
timeless was aptly phrased... mad props to all of you who felt this way.
it looks stunning.. it drives like a dream.. what more could you want from a car that reflects YOU out on the road?

I started liking SCs back for a while. I remember my aunt taking me to Disneylandfor the first time when I was about 9-10 years old (she was like 20 at the time, she had a pretty bomb job) in her brand new black SC300. I loved how it rode back then even though I didnt know much about cars then. She still owns it by the way.
Years later, after crashing my first car, I wanted an S14 Nissan 240x. It fullfilled the requirements of a rwd coupe. Finding one within my budget and my needs wasnt possible so I seek for alternatives. Suprisingly, after I realized that some SC300s are within my budget, I knew that I had to get one. Even tho its not as light nor have the same aftermarket support, the SC had the refinement and elegance that the Nissan doesnt.
It is sad to see many SCs riced out or neglected as a beater today with more than 200k+ miles. My plans are really conservative. Im just going to get the 97+ front bumper along with the skirts and tailights. As far as wheels go, I wanna get some 19X8s up front and 19x11s in the back
This is probably the cleanest 13 year old car I ever seen. My car...
When people ask me what I drive, its funny how people react when I answer that I drive a Lexus.More shockingly people are even more amazed when they find out that its a 92

It is one of the most well-rounded cars on the road, timeless.

Its a true classic , just like an older Corvette or Porche or a Mustang. I see people stop and look when i drive by. And compliments from strangers almost daily.
And you do get respect when you say you drive a Lexus. And i love the feeling of walking across a parking lot , seeing my SC waiting for me. And peoples heads turning when they see you getting in.

Buying the SC400 as a daily helped too....after feeling how such a large and heavier car could handle like a smaller lighter car, I was sold and got the SC300 5-spd for the track.

I wanted to try the sc300 as a project at the time.
Overtime stuff happened which really put a hamper on that. But now I just like the car in general I love its looks although its rear end looks kinda funky.. maybe it needs a sc400 spoiler.
