Default 1999 SC400 Accident , Goodbye Clublexus.

So this is my 3rd SC which has gotten hit by a no fault driver. Im sick and tired of this "jinxed" scenario. Ive had this car for 6 months and now it was on the receiving end of an 80 year old driver who doesnt understand the concept of yielding to drivers, before you turn into their lane.

Here are the pics i think this is my latest farewell to the lexus crew I am now looking to purchase a G37 . I test drove it and was pleasantly suprised ( now i am a HARDCORE lexus sc fanatic ) but i gotta tell you guys the G37 is FAST , handles amazingly and is stylish.

I opted to keep the 1999 SC400 with the black interior mechanically its perfect the accident didnt cause any mechanical dmage as you can see in the pics, the radiator is completely in tact but the front beam is completely bent . So not sure wha to do with this car keep it , part it out, etc...

Ouch! the SC population is declining slowly and steadily...
hope you & the old lady's hip is ok...
GL w/the G37... i'd personally get a G35... the 37 hasn't grown on me yet.

Sorry for your considerably bad luck. Looks like you're not supposed to own an Sc. Enjoy your G37. The old men driving them in my area seem impressed with how "fast" my 10psi Na-t pulls away from them. Lol

Hopefully the g37 will be a fresh start and you can leave the collision curse in that old ladies trunk.

I hate to be that guy, but if you do decide to part it out, I could use a few hundred dollars worth of interior pieces from the ol' SC.
