Strong and Good looking. Only problem is electrical stuff. Things get tricky when wires get old and dirty.
Fun, Dependable Sport Luxury Coupe

I bought this car with 125,000 miles on it and I have had it about 2 years and it now has about 131,000 miles on it. Never had a SINGLE issue/problem with this car and it drives like a dream. However, there is a minor oil leak or transmission fluid leak that I have just recently noticed so I will need to have that fixed, otherwise for being a 13 year old vehicle I cannot believe the exceptional reliablity this car has given me!
Awesome Car!

This has been the most maintenance free car I have ever owned. I have over 140k on it now, and I wouldn't hesitate to take this car across the country tomorrow. It's super reliable, comfy, quiet, smooth, and has lots of style. There's got to be a reason that Lexus didn't change it for 10 years. The only thing I might do different if I were to buy another one, would be to get the SC400 to get a little more HP, and a little smoother ride. There's little difference in weight and economy between the two...

I bought mine new in 1992 and it remains my favorite car. Have an 07 ES350, nice car, just not SC300 nice. The SC is still rock solid and sexy looking and sounding. This car is a modern day classic.

I've had this car for almost 17 years now and can't find a car I want to replace it with. It's still the most beautifully designed car on the market for the price range. Even Lexus hasn't come out with a nicer sporty 2-door model in this range (orig $50k fully loaded). The only mechanical problem I've had is the air conditioner went two years ago. Expensive repairs don't quite get it right. A couple of minor electrical repairs a couple years ago, but nothing serious or expensive. I've worn out the leather on the driver's side. No engine problems at all. This is simply a great car. I'll probably always keep it as a second when I finally bite the bullet and get a new one.

I bought my SC 300 with 121,000 miles on it. It is a 1992 and although I was hesitant about buying an older car I wasn't going to pay the price that new cars scrape out of people these days! This car has given me no problems whatsoever! It is a fun car to drive, so comfortable in the captains seat and has excellent power, especially if you put the overdrive button on it really HAULS! The look of the car overall is not too exciting, the exterior is boring, but not TOO boring if you know what I mean. For as heavy of a car that it is it really handles well and gives me the power I need, but not too much power. I love this car.
Fabulous engineering and reliability

In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful cars ever designed. The motor is powerful, responsive and reliable. The fuel economy, 22/26 mpg, is remarkable considering the mass of the vehicle. Unparalleled comfort and an awesome sound system. My only complaint is that WHEN it needs maitainance, and thus far it has needed nothing out of the ordinary oil changes, etc, the dealer maintainance is

These cars are almost indestructible. Just turned over 250,000 with nothing but normal maintenance. Amazing cars.

I purchased this car in 2002 with 136,000 miles. Since then I have added over 100,000 miles. Last year I took 4.5 months traveling around the country. I left with over 210,000 miles and traveled over 18,000 miles with no problems. I got it up to over 150 MPH along the way (it has a 5 speed, racing suspension, 17" wheels, and low profile tires). The car is amazing. In the past I have owned Jags, Benzes, Porsches, and Corvettes; none have measured up to the 300. Due to the incredible construction of the car, I plan to keep it into the far future. If you calculate the current cost to replace the features that come with this masterpiece of machinery, at least $70,000 would be required.
Excellent Car

Ive had this car for 9 years and it is still just as fun to drive as the first day i bought it. Lexus stayed with the same style up until the new sc430 but it is a great car and the power is amazing.

After 10 years I still can't bring myself to part with this amazing car, even though my kids are outgrowing the rear seat. And my dealer's service department treats me and my car with respect! What a change from other brands.

Best looking car made before or since - fit and finish outstanding - not a sign of rust after ten years - friends still think it's a new car (after it has been freshly washed). Loving maintenance "by the book" has resulted in trouble free ownership, with not one trip to the shop found necessary between normal maintenance intervals.
Glad I Took The Risk

I've had this wonderful car for two years now and it amazes me. I have a Jaguar and a Chrysler Crossfire, but this is my favorite drive. It cossets you in fun, supple luxury. My goal is to have 300,000 miles on it one day.

I've had this car for 1 year and it's been great. Super reliable, the only thing I needed to replace was the alternator.

I loved my SC300. And it saved my life. You just don't know a car's safety until you "try it out" - I rolled my SC300 360 degrees down a 25 foot embankment at around 40 mph. The driver's top and side took the brunt of the impact going down. It landed on all fours, and I walked off with a couple of scratches. Now I have to find another SC300!
Wonderful Car

This car is just wondeful to drive. The fit and finsh of this Lexus does not show it age either. Best car I ever owned. I am looking into a second Lexus. The five speed manual transmission makes this a very fun car to drive.
