Default My First SC but not my First Lexus

Thought I would say Hi and post a couple of pics of my 94 SC400 that I just picked up. The Lease is up on my 06 IS350 and I wanted to get out of a car payment for awhile, just got married and bought a house.

With a budget in mind and some long talks trying to convince my wife I found a Silver Spruce Metallic SC400 with 127k miles. Car is in over a great shape compared to several others we looked at. The best part is I came in under budget and now have some spare cash to fix the dash lights, have the front windows retinted and any other items that may come up.

I am trying to resist the mod bug for. There are some small DIY items I have found that can keep me busy for awhile, cleaning the headlights and projector lenses, painting the emblems black...

Well on to the pics.

Welcome!

That would be one hot garage if you are able to keep the IS350 next to the SC400. But I'm sure your SC will not disappoint you!

I found it locally in Sarasota for sale by a private party, was used a third car the last 2 years.

Thanks for the comments guys, and yes the IS will be dearly missed.

Sick man I hooked my brother ups with one also the same color. It has grey interior.I found IS300 rims for the car so I changed those out. I need to fix some things on the fuel system then it is on the road. Maybe you might see him on the road sometime soon.

Buff the emblems sliver. Black only looks good on a black car.
