Default my new 97' 5-speed

First post yay!!! haha

Been on the boards for a while but wanted to wait to post until I got the car. Names David and Im in Santa Clarita, Ca. Last car was an 05' Saturn Ion with full bolt-ons and a 75shot. Unfortunately the typical Saturn stereotype showed its true colors when a nitrous backfire took my black beauty to the dark side




So its time to move on to bigger and better things.

97' Lexus Sc300
5-speed manual
Black exyerior w/ black leather interior
130k miles
12 disc cd changer

Picked it up for $5.5k yesterday from San Fransisco.

This thing feels like a brand new car. Engine, tranny, clutch, brakes, suspension, etc feel perfect. It had a brand new paint job last week after it was keyed pretty badly. Interior is mint but needs a good vaccuming. One small tear in drivers seat but its perfect other than that.

In a couple months Ill drop in the gte then go from there.

Nice Lex man... congrats on the purchase.. Blk/blk with limo tint and a nice susp would be my first choice, but instead ended up getting this green/tan SC4.. Try not to set this one on fire though.. LoL

Thanks guys. I still cant believe I got such a deal. I was kind of sketchy at first because of the price. This car had one owner, a 70 year old guy who used it to commute from San fransisco to L.A. He gave it to his nephew for free so the dude hooked me up.
