The lease is expiring soon on my 97 SC300 5-speed and I'm trying to decide whether it's worth trying to sell or whether to just return it to Lexus. The car has 41,000 miles and is in excellent condition with 4-month old Goodyear Eagle GT+4's. The lease buyout is $23,500. I'm replacing the car with a new GS430.

Thanks.

 

You should definately keep it. It's the last year they had the 5 speed.

 

DOOD...dont buy a gs430 over an SC 5 speed? think about that damn shifter..and mod this one to go fast if you want..keep it. gs doesnt look half a cool as an SC and you know it...hehe..unless you need 4 doors, in that case....buy this one, and buy an older 4 door beater type car....heh. impractical suggestions but still..
