My sc400 is nearing 225000 so its been a great car but im replacing after winter.
so my question is what other lexus model is worthy of replacing my sc
Ive been looking for another sc400 to replaced it but i need a backup plan
thanks

 

225k, that's nothing...I've got 275 and counting! Why not keep it?

 

Nothing, just get a lower milage engine and put it in there.

Now that i got my biased out of the way depending how much your willing to spend and your interest, there is alot to choose from.

 

I have to agree that's nothing. These engines last forever!

To be honest there are not a lot of new cars that I like enough to spend 50-80 grand on.

It takes quite an expensive car to be better than a stock SC400. For example my friend thought he was hot **** when he bought a brand new Hyundai 2.0T when they first came out. I went for a ride in it and wasn't really impressed. The interior screamed cheap. We raced twice and my stock SC400 absolutely smoked him. He was so mad! He sold his car months later (I'd like to think me beating him helped his decision hahaha).

For some reason I really like the Jaguar F-Type. It looks like a sophisticated sporty roadster. It also has two V6 Supercharged models to choose from or a 500HP supercharged V8. I think Jaguar have been really turning themselves around under new ownership.

I guess it depends on your budget and what kind of practicality your looking for in a new car. I'm not a believer in spending 25-90 grand on a car when a 1992 Lexus drives and looks better than 2012 cars selling for 30-35 grand.

 

I guess that depends on what you're doing with your current SC, is it a DD, a Garage Queen or a weekend warrior project car, there are a ton of vehicles out there to choose from it just depends on what purpose you'll be using it for.

 

we had 1 come in our shop with over 400,000 miles it will last forever

 

BMW 335i .............

 

Isf all day baby!!!

 

let me chime in its my work car ive had it 5 yrs 135k since i owned it
this is my dd that started as my work car last week the car was sideswiped and the rear quarter is rotted and bondo its just time was thinking vette

 

If I had to replace the SC right now and another SC was not an option, I'd probably go E55 AMG.

 

I would go with a IS-F or C55 AMG if speed was really needed, if not a normal IS would be cool as a daily or any 3 series BMW.

 

My daily is a sunfire :thumbsup: but if I had to replace the sc it'd be a mkiv

 

trust me that jaguar is nice but way to many problems.. i work for lexus and im in love with the new GS'S i think there so sick. they ride great and handle amazing.. power is there when you want it.. and i know how you feel mines at 187*** i drive 187 miles daily in it.. i dont ever want to get rid of it.. but im a ford fan and if i was going to replace my car with something it would have to be a new mustang boss 302.. its so nice to shift out of 1st gear at 67mph

 

about to sell my 99 sc with 75k miles to get a 997S

 

LS400.
