Simply Handsome and True
In 2008, this 96 model still looks great and in my opinion, will remain a classic. Good power and feels solid. Love it!
Classic
I have just under 110K miles on it and am still in love with it. Overall, no major problems (although did blow a head-gasket). Also am experiencing degrading fuel economy - getting less than 18mpg lately. Overall: Great car, great vibes, great drive.

My hot rod
I purchased my SC300 5 speed manual in 1999 from the wife of a former general manager of a major Toyota/Lexus dealer. It had about 85,000 miles at the time. Now has a smidge under 250,000 miles on the odometer and still runs with the big dogs. I'm one who likes power and speed and the speed of my car still surprises me and those who challenge it...even an SC430. I've replaced the clutch, air conditioner, radiator and recently discovered I need to replace the harmonic balancer, But it's still a definite keeper. Oh, I've finally decided to start babying it.
SC Dream Car
I now have 140k on my coupe, and it has been virtually trouble free. I had to replace the power steering unit. It has been a pleasure to drive every day. It is comfortable, and I feel safe in the car. It corners well, and it quick off the line.
Great Car
I bought my '95 Lexus this year and it has been a great car. I'm sure I could get some better performance out of it with a little tune-up work but I'd rather leave it alone. Comfortable, reliable, powerful, great handler. Overall great car.
