There's been no finer car

I love my 5 speed 300 like a child. I have treated it very gently, and it has been the finest car I've ever owned in return. I suspect I will have still own it beyond 150,000 miles and be equally happy. It's simply beautiful! Imagine paying $60M+ for the new model? It's not even well designed like the 300/400!

My SC300 Experience

I purchesed my 93 SC300 via eBay sight unseen for well below retail. I have put about 15,000 miles to date and spent about $4000.00 in repairs and maintenance. The largest expense was a whole new a/c system costing $2300.00 a few months ago. I do not take the car to Lexus, they wanted $750.00 to repair the power tilt streering wheel that I went home a fixed myself. The car runs and drives beautifully. I have had a few high-milage issues as stated above, but for what i paid I still get tons of compliments and really enjoy driving it. My next car will be a new SC430. The warranty makes all the difference.

This is my other car (really)

I got a great buy on this vehicle in 1999. A dealer's 75 year old wife wanted a non-coupe car. Since then, I have had no problems with the car and enjoy taking it for a drive to Yosemite. The car handles curves like a mother with her new-born child. Only thing I don't like is I don't fit the mold of most people (mid-age beautiful woman). I am a 30ish male. Only 66,000 miles on my 1993 SC 300. Still, thinking of selling it.

COSTLY BUT BEAUTIFUL

I purchased the car in 1997. I have owned it for only 6 years and the repairs have become quite COSTLY. Both passanger and driver window motors had to be replaced ($700 each), alternator ($750), heating unit ($400), Compressor ($350). oil changes ($70), timing belt ($700). Other than the costly repairs, the car believe it or not is reliable. The ride is incredibly smooth and powerful enough to blow past truckers when needed. For a 1993 model this car can still compete with today's 2003 models. this car is destined to be a classic.

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.
