10 years old and still new

I bought the SC400 last Feb.2001 from my roommate's dad. The car had been in 2 major accidents, but was fixed when I got it. Was so concerned I had LemonBusters check it out. Turned out just fine. Bought it w/ 120K miles on it and have put in 20K miles since then. Rides like it's on air. None of my friends can believe that this car is 10 yrs. old! It looks like new (had a new paint job), and still handles like a dream. It's hard to find much to complain about this car. Only negative is gas mileage & drinking only super premium gas.

I bought this 1992 car in 1997 with 70K miles. It now has 137K and I still love it! I have yet to drive a more powerful, better handling sport coupe. Since Lexus first debuted as a 1990 model, I wanted one. I finally could afford a used one and I am happy I did. I have had no major problems, only usual used-car stuff. I will drive it until the wheels fall off, or my 13- year-old nephew is old enough to drive (whichever comes first)...and I truly believe my car will last far beyond my nephew's 16th birthday!!!

I have never felt the need to write a review on anything until now. I can not put into words how great this car is. It drives like a dream, the exterior is eye catching, the interior is top of the line in luxury and just an all around outstanding sportscar. I have owned other vehicles including an suv but nothing has compared to the Lexus SC400. I will never sell this car and Iam sorry that they have discontinued production of this supreme vehicle.

We bought this car 5 years ago with 29k on the odo (now it has <90k). We use this car on weekends and trips. Absolutely love it. Ive rarely had it over 100 and felt as comfortable as one can at that speed. I too have wondered sometimes if the engine was running when it idles since it is so quiet. It is also quiet on the highway (cars next to us are noisier than this). Gripes? Only that there is a bit if a lag when the tranny needs to down shift under heavy acceleration. The back end is a bit too light. Gas mileage for us is 20-22. It's almost too bad Lexus has their CPO program because the car is not as "rare" now as it was when we first bought ours.
