Hey guys,
I've been reading this site off and on for over 1 yr now. Finaly thought since I probally will be considering getting my 1st lexus I should introduce myself.

I will be graduating from scool next yr, and am debating which lexus to get. My budget is mid $15k range. Give or take a couple thousand $ too. I know I realy can't get too much for that, but it's a start.

I've been doing a lot of searching for cars on the net and have found pretty much 1 in each model that I like. But which to choose? I've found some 60k miled range early LS400's, some early GS300's with 70K mile range and some early to mid SC models with low miles too. All are pretty much in the same price range, and the ones with the least amount of miles are the SC's and LS's.

I'm not going simply for power or speed. And will doubtfully do any upgrades to increase HP. I also own a Stillen GTZ and Nissan 300zx. Those suit my speed issues fine. But if the car has some ponies from the start, that's fine. I'm not simply going for a bigger engine, but if it's got one that's just a plus.

More then anything I want comfort and reliability. And something that will run for EVER!!! One that when it gets over 150k miles I dont have to worry about.

If you guys can help me out that'd be much highly appreciated.

Thank you
-Michael

Well, since you posted this in the SC section of the forum, I guess most of the people would suggest the SC.

In terms of design, I personally think it's the best car Lexus ever built, including the new SC430. But obviously this is a question of personal preference.
There might be other factors to consider, such as space. The LS is obviously a lot roomier than the SC. Same goes for the GS. Also, the same model year GS400 will be quite a bit quicker than a SC or LS.

So if you are sure you don't want to mod your car, I'd say go for the SC400. Otherwise, maybe consider the SC300, if you can find one go for a manual.

No matter which Lex you will choose, you can be sure that it's a very reliable and classy car.

SC400 Sounds like the car for you...with your budget you might want to look for some 95-96's...got the bigger V8 Engine to use whenever you please, and comfort/reliability is great.
