Damn I hope everyone knows my post got merged. I'M TALKING ABOUT A 1999 SC400 NOW LOL.

Salvaged as I said again. Checked out damage, drove the car, drives straight when I let go at 80 in the rain. Will get it checked my a Lexus mechanic soon... (had it for two days)

Right at 5 seconds, that little whiny noise is the engine I think. Is that supposed to be like that?

Also happens while stopping at 30 seconds, and going again at 40-41.

If its your dd then it's fine. If your gonna build it get one with a better history. I sold my salvage one...great car, ran well. But wanted to build it and there were lil things that got annoying.

It's fine that it has a whining noise when I rev it?

I don't plan to do anything to the car other than maintain it. Redo the interior and just overall keep it really clean. The only thing that won't be clean is the title >:

The body on this SC is AMAZING! No dents. 2 knicks on the back bumper and that's it. Maybe some in the front but there aren't cracks or anything anywhere.

Here are some pictures of my car. Now I need a price check on my 1999 SC400 Salvaged cause I want to sell it. >:

After these three days I found out the car is just not for me, the luxury is amazing however I just feel as if the V8 is not for me, also the "fun factor" on the 240Sx is off the charts compared to this, it seems like I just wanted a good sound system rofl. Onto pictures!

Some of those look different because the car is super dirty from the rain!

Looks really nice. Those headlights are bugging the ---- out of me! Restore those, give the car a nice wash, and fix the mis matching windshield wipers and you should be golden! Too lazy to go back a page too see if you said if your gonna mod this Lexus. Are you or no?

I'm WAY to spontaneous, I put the car on CL for $57, the car runs and drives great, it's just not a good feel for me -_-, I thought I liked it when I test drove it...

If I do keep it imma just sell it to my dad for 35.

Haha that's funny. Bro shop more before you buy a car. I looked for 3 months until I found the one I wanted, then drove 600 miles to get it.

Dont settle for the first few you see, because theres probably one out there without that salvaged title and less miles for the same price maybe a little more lol.

Bro trust me, I feel hella stupid, I way overpaid too. I feel so dumb augh it's just killing me inside to know that the best thing I can probably get is a straight trade to something like a civic... Anyone know what price I could put this car at?

For 5k+ I shoulda just got a super reliable CLEAN title car, now I'm stuck with this until someone will buy it for 4k+... Live and learn..

Put it at the price you paid for and wait it out for a good and decent offer to come your way, unless your in a hurry to sell.
