I was gasping for air... and then I saw your actual pictures.

This thread is on par with someone prank calling and telling me a close family member is dead!


Jerk!!!

haha lol I thought I would give someone a heart attack, I've been reading these forums for a few months and they really encouraged me to buy a an sc, so thats what I am about to do. I sold my honda accord cuz I really wanted someting sportier.



But do you guys think that the 98 sc300 78,000 miles for $12,000 is a good deal??

Dang....thats a pretty good deal 12k. Do the other SC's in your area really look like those? Cuz if they do I suggest you move, or kill those people who completely destroyed one of the greates cars Lexus has produced.

$12,000 sounds about right for a '98 with pretty low miles. If it's in good condition, it sounds like
a fair deal.

Hook, line, and sinker.

I was comitted to saying H.S. - NEITHER!

Nice one.

Too much or not enough, the money is close enough to get the car. You have an opportunity to own a truly impressive piece of automotive engineering, so go for it.

Sounds like you made a a good choice. There (is)was a Black 97 in the Bay Area for $5900 that may be worth checking out too . Its been on C-list for a couple weeks or so........
You should save that orange one though !

Default PIz of my new SC300

I took some pics of my that sc that I bought. I had the back windows 5%limo tint and the front ones 50%.








I want to take it to a body shop to take some of the dents out and put a clear coat on it to really make it shine. I am kind of mad though becuase I think this car was in an accident becuase the steering wheel is a different color meaning the airbag has been deployed.

Thats why God invented CarFax. 20 bucks and you could save 10's of thousands. Do it anyway, see what the accident case # is, and order a copy. The copy will state what was damaged, possibly who did the repair, and the severity of the wreck as well.

Hope she's O.K. for you.
