Default Very First Lexus SC300

just picked up my very first sc300 its a 1997 with 100,xxx miles paid only $3400 which i think is a deal. its a 2JZ-GE all stock. i'm a converted honda guy and much more happier with the inline
-6. i hope to learn and contribute in the future.

Welcome to the forum! You got a great deal, especially since it's a 97 SC.

However, that is not a 97 front bumper. It looks like a 95-96 front bumper, indicating that it was most likely in a front end collision.

Are you sure it's a '97? Why is the front end a '95-'96?

Yes it's a '97 - the gauge cluster can confirm that.

it's definitely a 1997 but it has a 96 bumper so it was probably hit, but it is a clean title

You should start off with some maintenance as the car does look slightly neglected.
