Hey, my name is Tom and I just picked up a '95 SC300.
Just got hit with my first $1600 in repair bills and am in a phase of hating the car that comes and goes. Being a dealer maintained car all it's life means it will probably be the last bit of repair bills for a while, and it has a few goodies that make me believe I am under the age of 65 and therefore should own this car.
Tokico Blues Performance Shocks (Stance GR+ en route)
17x7 Fusion wheels with 7 spline lug nuts that didn't come with a key. Joy Joy.
JDM BS Toyota Supra dual-can exhaust, looks cool.
Apexi-style Intake
Unorthodox Pulley Set
Previous owner bought the parts out of the Autozone catalogue i think, but it handles and sounds a little better than stock. Unfortunately, he also thought that spray paint was a good solution to the clear coat peeling on the mirror and wing, and the overspray makes me want to punt small children. Time to go into the detailing forums and read up....

Hi my names Evan but people call me Spears-Brooks
I recently enlisted in the Marines and am set to leave for bootcamp on March 5, But in the meantime I bought a 1995 Lexus SC300, Manual transmission. which i plan to give to my family while im gone. Only owned this thing for about a month and im allready getting the tuning bug but i cant decide what to do with it.
I want to go hellaflush, lower it, nice rims nice soundsystem all that stuff keep in the spirit of its a luxury car.
But other times I want to just make it go fast, at heart thats all i do like cars that are loud, and fast. everything in the car has to have a purpose if it doesn't make it safer, faster, or street legal it doesn't belong on it.
so im between a rock and a hard place as you can see. I've allready bought some cheap rims ($50 off craigslist) that im repainting, blacked out the headlights, tinted windows and stripped the interior (need to sell for cash or go fast goodies, or redo as black)

Oh Harro !
The name is Adrian, people call me Smokey. Just picked up a 94' SC400 black with cream interior. 225k and only $1700! and the best part is it came with smog results for the last 11 years, and complete vehicle service history; not to mention all the original manuals as well as the freekin accessory brochure! needless to say I am besides myself in how well the car performs, all the creature comforts, and the overall look and feel of it. only draw back is the 80+ dollars at the pump per fill lol. Currently in California, I will be driving it to Florida in the morning. hopefully Toyota's "Legendary" reliability will help me a little bit. wish me luck!

Hey all. My Name is Mike - I just joined this morning. I'd been looking for a new daily that wasn't completely ordinary... stumbled upon the SC400 and rave reviews about reliability past 100k, build quality, etc. I checked a few out this past week and ended up picking out a '99 with 137k on the clock for a steal of a deal. Drove it back home 350 miles at 27mpg, and wow. For its age/miles, this thing is scary quiet inside! Nice OEM stereo, too.
Anyhow... this looked like THE place for information on these cars (seeing as I was constantly running into links to this site while doing my research), so here I am! I'll include the only photo I have of it thus far... took it at a gas station on the way home with 'ye old cell phone. I was a vehicle photographer for a few years, so I'm looking forward to taking some pics of it once I get it all cleaned up... assuming winter doesn't cover it in snow this week.

Here's a photo of my other car, a '93 TT Z32 with a few mods.
The SC actually appeals to me in the same way the Z does, aesthetically. Nice organic forms.

Hello!
New to the forums and just picked up my new 98 SC400on 12/3/11.
Its black on tan, 71,650 miles and super clean except for the usual little body scratches/marks that come up on a black car. Its loaded except for heated seats and TRAC (cali car) Everything on it works except the trunk support struts and the CD changer has no power to it...Ill figure those out from info on the forums.
It was originally from Cali, then it lived in Arizona for 9 years and was sold to a guy in Pennsylvania who had it for 6 months but sold it to me for $11,000. It now lives in the Akron/Canton area of Ohio.
Some pictures from the day I got it...once I get the inside cleaned up a bit more I will add more of the inside.

Thought I would share my other car too, 1991 Camry LE SW with 192,620 miles on it.
