Hey all my name is Alex I am 16 years old. I've been on here for a while now looking up info and buying parts but i never really introduced myself. (And yes that is a kitchen in my garage I am asian.)

I bought my sc about a year ago from Cars Etc. a dealer in Knoxville,Tn for $5050 (I hear they have a grey interriord sc4 for 5k now). It had a few minor scratches and broken pieces but for a first car it's nice. It is a 93 SC300 manual in Black Onyx. Kept in pretty decent condition. Had a few cracks only in the drivers seat, blown out right rear speaker, usual blacked out needles and cracks on the vents. Engine bay was clean looks like its been wiped down pretty well.

Everything is pretty much stock and it had one previous female owner (someone named Anita Rowe if they're on here thatd be cool) who ,apparently, was all over the country.
Did some background check on the car and it originally bought at in Texas Sewell lexus ended up in Oklahoma then traveled to Nashville then Knoxville and finally (current place) Murfreesboro. I was very surprised at the mileage (102K) I'm guessing it was a garage car.

Currently getting some work done. I had bald tires on the car and slid off the road during a freakish storm (its tennesee weather) broke my frame and had a few hail damages. but on the plus side i got 18" g35 rims and the frame came in. With the insurance money for hail damages, i got Megan Ez street coilovers and Nitto extreme performance tires. I might get some body work done, a radio, and fresh paint on later.

when i first bought it and when i first got the new rims:
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics i broke my camera at the time

 

Looks good. You did all the things I did to it when I got my 93 5 speed. Megan coils and G35 wheels. Just add a 1JZ to your list and we'll be even.

 

looks clean. nice pick up. the miles is a plus too

 

Thats pretty pricey for a 93. My name is Alex too, but I got my first black/black sc300 manual for 5k too..

 

Not a bad price for the condition and mileage(my buddy just sold a blue 93 manual with a tired motor for 5k). Very nice purchase!

 

Adam, I know this is about a year late...but welcome, and nice find. Take your time with your build-you have plenty of time. Continue to focus on school and your future. In time you'll have a Monster on your hand, good luck with your build!
