Joined the club!
I just joined the club by purchasing an SC400 from 2000!!!
I was previously driving a BMW 335, but when the turbos and HPFP went and the car was in the shop for over a week I decided goodbye BMW... And hello SC400!
I found one locally with 55k miles from the year 2000. It was always serviced at the dealer and it has the Nakamichi audio. It also has a K&N air filter and a Borla exhaust already installed. I guess the next step is non-stock rims. After doing some googling apparently the 2000's are pretty rare so I am pretty stoked to be able to snag one! Anyway check out some pics and a video of the exhaust!

What a great find and acquisition.... If the interior is in good shape you are ahead of the game..... Suggest you spend some extensive time in the Wheels/Fitment sticky when considering wheels and tires (especially if later want to lower the car or do the LS400 brake upgrade)....

I see it on ebay, too, similar user name, same photos. Hope she finds lasting love with her next owner.

That said I am not going to accept an offer that is worth me wanting to part with the car for.

Once again though, if it does not reach a pretty high price I am not going to sell it. I don't want to part with it, but for the sake of the car and keeping more mint condition examples around it is for sale for a week before I start my driving of the car.

You might well find a buyer. It would be nice to see her preserved. I know a woman who turned down $14.9k for her ultra low mileage 1992 SC400. The one in Texas you're referring to, is it the white 2000 SC400 with 55k for $10,911?

Yeah, It might be a better beater car for my purposes, but we will see what ends up happening.
