New SC400 Owner! :)
So after more than a year of searching for a car, and lurking around CL, I've finally picked up a 1995 SC400 with about 118,000 kms on it. Its black/tan, really good shape. The only things wrong with it are a few small scratches on the body here and there, needs new cluster lights, and CD changer doesnt seem to work. All very common problems with this car from what I've learned.
I was originally planning on modding whatever car I got for racing, however since its an AT and a V8 I think I'll do mods for comfort and looks instead. For the next few years I plan on #1. lowering it, #2. rims, exhaust, body-kit, and other small things. But I want to fix the stock things that arent working first.
Having said all that I will appriciate any 'new Lexus owner' pointers from you guys as they come! I'll be posting regularly! Thanx for all your input so far in helping me buy this wicked ride!!
Now for the Pics!!.. (Sorry for the bad quality, theyre cellphone pics)

I was contemplating on getting S14 kouki before finding my SC300, too. As expected, it was almost impossible to find one in good condition. 
I'm happy that I have what I have now though.
Congrats on your purchase. Enjoy the ride.

You probably figured this was coming...........HOW MUCH?
And if you do get hungry, I would think no less of you if you ate food off that engine. CLEAN!
Congrats. I doubt you'll regret it. The problems you mentioned are pretty minor.
Have fun modding!

Lol my dad let it go to me for a bit less than 11K CDN (which is what it cost him).
Yeah the engine bay is insanly clean. I Love it!!
Best part is that the first 10 mins that I owned it I pull up to a gas station to fill up, and buddy is standing there with his kid and hes like "Thats a really nice car man"
