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.

The best thing about this car is that it is built by Toyota. The next thing is that it is about the best looking since the XKE Jag. The next best thing is that it says Lexus.

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!
