This was the origional reason why I got the SC, plus nothing was sexier to me than staggered wheels!

After seeing other Sc's modded and turboe'd I agree with that staement x100!!

Saw my first SC when I was a kid in middle school when they first came out. My jaw dropped at the styling. I did not know cars that well at the time and did not appreciate the mechanical engineering in the car. A few years later at the car show I got to check out a demo and play with all of the electrical stuff cause Lexus was the only exhibitor to use a 12 volt power supply on the demos.

I was broke until college was over. When I graduated on 02 the 98+ cars were still in the $18K-25K range. I was not going to pay that much for a used car so my SC plan was on hold.

Then I found one in 08 that had been babied. The stock market crashed in 08 and the seller lowered the price to below what I was willing to pay.

The look of the car is the main reason I got one. It was way ahead of its time and I have drooled over the styling since I was a kid.

I didnt even know sc is a wussy version of supra, i bought it because i thought they look nice, sporty and luxury at the same time. Especially w/ AC body kit, look a lot better than Supra!! IMO

I had '95 240 when my dad got a '92 sc400 on his car lot. I didn't even know what it was, but immediatly fell in love with the look and have never looked back!

This. For me, it was love at first sight. I knew what it was but had no idea how insanely good the '97+ body looked. Not to mention it was a Lexus, which was my first car ('98 ES300). Then I did my research and realized it was a luxury Supra. Went down the next day and traded in my ES300.

Wanted a luxurious, comfortable, reliable dd so I could keep the miles down on my 240 so when I found one in amazingly good condition, I picked it up quick.

Now a days you see people getting old school cars from their past, so this is my old school.

Next is the E31 850.
i hear you on that
