Soarer is what the SC is called in Japan.

You got a decent deal, your car isn't really worth what KBB says.

since ur in in i guess its a good price. Here in socal that would be a rip-off but you see scs everyday here.

The Sc300/400 is a lhd lexus. In japan they released the car under the toyota brand, it was rhd and called a soarer.

thanks guys. sc 300/400 is Rare over here. so i guess the value of the car is worth more than in south cal. but most importantly, i really like the car, especially the black ext and black int.

soarer is downgrade of sc, but not to us, soarer is like god here in us, we all want our scs to be soarer, anyhow over in jap they give their left ball for a lex. Anyhow you could have done a lil better with price but you got a jewel none the less, prolly of one best sc on here, anyhow welcome, good choice in car

plans to buy a set of wheels first, then body kits, then engine performance ( try to increase hp, 20-30 is good enough, not too wild).
