Default Well, three years later.... (New SC300 5-spd)

Just brought my new baby home today, since I got final approval from my new fiance on Thursday

Specs:
1996 SC300
5-speed manual
60,107 miles

I'm very happy to have such a nice project car to start off with. Lots of mods to come soon! Right now planning on some wheels, Tein CS w/EDFC, built in laser/radar, and from there I'll go turbo Havent decided on a kit or doing another swap like last time.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a cleaner stock 5-spd SC out there for sale. And this one was local Actually though, I did meet a middle-aged woman who had a 1995 SC300 5-spd that had only 40k miles on it but she said she wasnt going to sell it till it hit 50k.

Hey cherplex, really nice to see you still around here I sold it to got_trd, who then sold it to his sister.

I wanted to keep it, but I decided it wasnt worth stretching myself that thin financially. I was still in college at that point, so money was always tight (especially with a $400/mo payment on my IS300). But I graduated and got engaged this past December. So now between my fiance and me, I have money to do whatever I want to the car Only thing holding me back a little is saving for the house down payment and helping pay for the wedding
