Best Car I've Ever Owned!

During a period of "unemployment", I decided to try my hand at selling cars. I was sold on the quality and vowed that I would one day own one. I got back into my previous career field and bought not one - but TWO Lexus (Lexi ??). My SC 300 is without a doubt the most luxurious car I've ever owned. It drives like a dream and hasn't been in the shop for anything other than recommended scheduled maintenance. The styling is distinctive and it is a pleasure to drive!!

WHAT A GREAT CAR

I have had this car for almost 14 years and it has 250,000 miles on it. I love it and so many people have stopped me for years to see if they could buy it. Of course, I said "no". If only Lexus would make a car similar to this SC, I would buy it in a flash. The sports car that they came up with to replace it is too small and too expensive. The IS in my opinion is no comparison at all. This car has "class" and is a dream to drive. I hate giving it up. I am looking hard now to find something that I absolutely love and it is hard. Most of the cars all look alike. I am considering the Audi S5...it is closest in look and seems to have what I like. I would rather drive the Lexus though!

I just purchased a 1999 SC300 with 141k for a steal. I always thought these cars were nice but WOW. Now that I own one it is amazing the attention I get (and Enjoying every bit of it!!!). I took it to my mechanic and everything checks out, we are working to get her back in top form. After having the Black Exterior buffed out, it has restored a beautiful deep luster. Seats fit like a glove. Stereo is AWESOME!!! Lexus you have won me over. :-)

This is the most fun car I have ever driven. I have owned mustangs, vettes, and other cars, but this one takes the cake. Never had any mechanical problems and it just looks stylish. Classy at the club and sporty on the highway.

Lexus took Mercedes Benz too task.

An instant classic touring coupe. The inline 6 cylinder engine paired with a clutcheless 3 speed w/overdrive transmission lets you drive for any road conditions you encounter. As soon as you set it in drive this beauty comes alive when you actually feel it grab the garage floor. Love to say to first time passengers, " You hear That?" & every reply has been, "I don't hear a thing", even at (25) years old @ 289,000k miles _No Rattles! I'm now retiring it from my daily driver to be restored outside with (1) small parking lot present, However the Pearl Metal Flake paint still looks New! The interior will be restored with new electronics, but the Bisquit Tan seats/ trim are only broken-in on the drivers seat, fits my 6', 230# frame like a glove. I'm wanting to send it to my son in Switzerland & run it against a same year MB AMG & Smoke'm in the Alps as the Rockies over here have witnessed and is on youtube. This also is where you hear the AMG rattiling Loudly & the SC300 interior's silent, just like mine & All others because Toyota was establishing the next level car brand -LEXUS. Coolest thing was this vehicle has the documents as being built and fully assembled in Japan under triple redundancy in May 1999.
