1998 SC400 Nice color BTW ;)
Enjoying mine even after a few maintenance issues (nothing major...just regular maintenance for a 220K+ highway mile Lexus). Still drives and rides like a dream...hopefully better than that when the new engine mount gets installed

1998 SC400 Baroque Red Metalic w/ 54K miles
Wow...Not alot of 98' SC400's out there...
I think that the 98' is the best year because you have the new interior with more wood trim ( and it still has the 4 spoke steering wheel, which I like better than the 3 spoke), new gated 5 speed auto tranny, VVTi with 290 hp and new exterior...
...God I love these cars...

97!!!!!!
97!!!!!!
....Everytime we had to slow down due to traffic and then take-off again once it cleared...they both were no match...neither one could even within one car length 
...we were all going around 110 to 125 mph...no 3.5 liter V6 is going to match up to a 4.0 liter V8...

New owner of a 1995 SC-400! Gold w/ Tan interior w/ decklid spoiler!
I'm enjoying this ride!!!!!! If i want a sporty ride and feel and race down the street, i know which set of keys to pick up. This is an awesome ride!
P.S. Does anyone know what i could buy for salt & brake dust build up on the rims? I was told about Meguar's Hot Rims. Any other ideas?

quick question for the SC400 owners.
My dad and I test drove a 1995 SC400 the other day and it seemed like it didnt have enough power to go up a small hill.
One thing I notice is that the transmission didnt downshift and my dad already had the gas pedal floored.
Is this a normal occurence or maybe the dealer car has some problems.
It was a 1995 SC400 with 157xxx on the odo and it was a beaut. but the power was the deciding factor for my dad not getting it.
Thanks.
