Wanna know what's funny. For some stupid reason, I send my wife good deals on Lexus with busted motors and old school Cressys and Corollas. She always replies back with WTF?

We all share the disease...

Down the street is a Indy Lexus tech. Stopped by and asked him about a Lexus w/sport and comfort that I might enjoy. He tells me look for a 98+ SC 400, but says they are hard to find.

No lie, next day a 98 SC400 shows up on CL five minutes from my house. So with no prior SC experience (but after his thumbs up), I bought my first SC. Really like the ride...Pics to follow.

Would have never found tis had I not been a regular CL looker!

I found my SC off craigslist. Got tired of searching my local area and expanded to several other states. I wasn't afraid to drive a little for an $800 deal.

I found my SC4 on CL. I actually used Jaxed to find the CL ad. You CL junkies will love it.

I do this once/twice a week for misc. parts & rims.

Does eBay count as well? If so i just got an OEM full set, black pearl emblems for my ES300 for 15$ shipped to my door
