Used 1999 Lexus SC 400 Consumer Reviews
Dream Car
I was on a search for a really nice car and considered the BMW 3 series, Mercedes and Audis. I didn't consider a Lexus SC, because these are so rare in Iowa. But when I saw this at the dealership, it was too good to be true. Thanks to Kelly blue book and the previous owner being a millionaire who took care of his toys, I was able to get a steal. Mint condition, dressed to the nines with all the options except GPS and hands free phone, and with less than 28k miles. I practically got a new $65k car for $20. The quality inside and out was heads and shoulders above the other luxury makers in terms of holding on to quality. Everyone thinks my car is brand new.
Lexus SC400 Perfect Car
Luckily I found and drove this car home before someone else did. I kept this car about a week before I finally signed papers and for only $15500.00 and 68000 miles I believe I made the best decision on a car I have ever made. Platinum Metallic, Black leather Interior, Heated seats, VSC, Nakamichi Audio System,Compact Disc Changer, Power Moonroof, Rear Spoiler, Traction Control System.
The Perfect Road Machine!
I was looking for an SC 400. So imagine my surprise when I found a 1995 with 69000 miles. It was garaged for 7 years. It's in immaculate condition. Probably the thing I don't like about it is th flimsy cup holder in the dash. Other than that I love it.
Timeless classic
This car is a classic that has a lot of potential. Styling is flawless and timeless. It also has surprisingly good headroom for rear passengers, though legroom is a bit lacking for them. Its certainly not a car built for practicality, given it lacks fold-down seats, but it makes up for looks. It can also return surprisingly impressive fuel efficiency on the highways, even for an 11 year old V8. I've averaged 26-29 MPG depending on speed, no lie.
Loved my Lexus
I loved this car. I had it for four years - never a day passed that I did not think how fortunate I was to own it. I spun out in the rain on the freeway and crashed the rear off side into the central concrete barrier. The wheel was torn off and the wing crumpled, but apart from that no other damage to the car and hardly any to me so I think its body strength is great. I am thankful for it. My only complaints are a too small rear seat, and miniature trunk. As for looks, well, it is beautiful and as, I saw someone else describe, a piece of rolling sculpture.
