I've owned my 1997 SC300 for a year now, and I do not regret buying this car one bit! Starts right up every time! I haven't had one issue besides wear and tear. Wear and tear: blinker light and a seized caliper, so even for a 19 year old car, its very well put together. I do regular maintenance and baby it. I recommend buying a SC with low miles or well taken care of, it will be worth it. Update 1/08/17** 88k had the check engine light come on and was only a O2 sensor so it was a easy fix. Still going strong

Best Grand Touring car of the 90's JDM era

Black leather, comfortable ride, 230HP, plenty of leg room for two with great visibility throughout the cockpit. Climate controls, mine with touchscreen making it 2022 fresh. Plenty of sound to get the driver excited to rev without the need for an aftermarket exhaust yet very quiet when you are cruising. The car loves long distance marathons as the comfort is beyond measure. Think two by two personal coupe. There is nothing more luxurious than having that space all to yourself. Be an executive, get a car made of steel for protection, space for stretching out the legs, and smooth driving pleasure!

Toyota Knows How To Build Them!

I bought this car with over 150,000 miles and it drove and handled beautifully! I was always complemented on the look of the vehicle, and the handling was amazing. My window regulator had to be replaced, the trunk shocks stopped working and were hard to find and the retractable radio antenna was too loud, but other than that it was reliable and had plenty of power! I no longer own it, it was involved in an accident. It's hard to find a 14 yr old car that comes close to retaining the handling or the luxury of the sc.
