Default Earliest sc300 into the u.s
Took my car to the shop today and the mechanic made a big deal over my cars vin number saying I had one of the first sc300 in the states. Does anyone know what the sequence started off as?

Edit: sequence started off as 003210 for sc300. Confirmed through Lexus today it's the last 6 of your vin number. I have 003217. Post up your numbers guys!!!

Sc400 are a different set of numbers and I didn't ask what sequence they started off as so contact Lexus for further information on them.

Open your door and look at the sticker on the door jamb it should say something like NO.XXX
Mine says 11/1991 and NO.976

They told me that it's the last 6 of your vin. But the only problem is that they didn't start off with 0001. I'm trying to figure out what that number is that started the sequence.

Edit: Lexus confirmed sc300s started the sequence with 003210.

It is possible that someone has one in a collection, but most likely alot of the low digit sc's have been destroyed.

Now to long ago saw a beautiful sc3 going straight to the crusher, and they couldn't even sell the car if they wanted to they had to crush it. no parts no nothing.

After a little bit of research its the last 6 of your VIN which indicates what number it was off the assembly line.
Pretty interesting info
