Wink I want my baby BACK
My 92 SC300 is at the dealer for its first A/C work in its 20 year life and they were kind enough to give me a brand new is250 loaner car. This thing is 20 years newer than my SC and yet it doesn't have Navi like my SC does, doesn't have heated seats like my SC does, doesn't have an awesome stereo like my SC does, it has an automatic transmission, AND it is louder at idle...


I do however enjoy the feel of the steering wheel.

Pics of my 5spd SC300 with 88k on the dash. I bought her with 52k almost 3 years ago!

It's hard to beat an SC as clean as yours. I too would be disappointed by a new IS if my SC were this nice.

I see that you have 97+ tail lights...What did you do about the hyper flash and the tail light lamp indicator on the dash?

you can't complain about the navi, the 92 originally never came with navi

We've thought about replacing my SC with an IS, but that's cause mine is a piece of junk. Yours looks fantastic!

How long did they say the work will take? It took them almost
a week to get my a/c lines from California. $300 ouch! I inquired about the compressor and that was $550 bigger ouch!
