Used Lexus SC for Sale near Northwest Territories

This 20-year old SC with 123K miles on the clock was a one-owner car, serviced at a Portland Lexus dealership for its entire life up to the moment I drove it away. I look at this car as a millennium icon, because its at the pinnacle of luxury with tech thats 20 years old but still very functional. However one outrageous item is a nav system thats DVD based, meaning the car has no access to the internet and no possibility of updating its maps. Think of how many roads and neighborhoods have been built since then! Still, the car drives out perfectly, stops like it hit an invisible taffy wall, and corners like a wallowing hippo. Wait. Really not bad, but does need coilovers all around and swaybar attention. The condition of this unit is damn near perfection, and it will take some doing to maintain it as well as the first owners did. But this is one of the dwindling fleet of early stock 430s which has the potential to drive beyond 300K. Its a great lifestyle choice at a time when I could have picked a garden-variety GS350 or Toyota Avalon, etc., but its road-going style is far more distinctive than those. Fourteen grand from a Lexus dealership for a perfect as-new daily driver of exceptional value. Shazam. I rule!

This car is iconic! It is maximum style unto itself.

Drives wonderful and love all the extras but I miss my backup camera and the speedometer isnt digital. Takes some getting used to the old school ways of looking at your speed.

This is the second SC400 I own, and it's even better than the 1992 model I own. As with my first review, the "One of the best cars ever built" line still applies, maybe even more so! This car set the standards of what cars are expected to do today and completely dumbfounded BMW, Mercedes, and Audi when introduced. My car has 120K miles on it, still starts on the first try, drives like a dream, and still looks fresh, unique, and modern even 20 years after being introduced. The engine may seem underpowered by today's standards but few will want for more and passing power on the highway is outstanding. Interior ergonomics are excellent, all controls are intuitively placed, and the visibility from within is excellent. The power tilt-telescopic wheel with memory does it's dance when you start the car and reminds you what a treat you are in for! The most telling feature of this car is the fact that every power feature still works - the power windows, mirrors, tilt-wheel, power locks, the seat heaters, the cruise control, A/C controls, everything! I've owned 5 year-old GM and VW vehicles that have had more than one of these fail! These cars are one of the best kept secrets on the road and can be had for next to nothing! If you are a do-it-yourself type you'll find plenty of knowledge on the "ClubLexus" forums that can keep your SC rolling forever. These cars do have a couple of weak spots, like any car. The gauge cluster bulbs and the needles burn-out over time. Both are easily repairable by companies like Lextech, among others. Another common problem is the power steering pump lines, they leak over time and are directly over the alternator which shorts when flooded with fluid. Keep on top of the hoses and you'll have no problems. Also, watch for worn lower control arms. When the bushings are needing replacement (every 125-150k miles) you need to replace the entire lower control arm and they are a bit pricey, about $400-500 each. Interior window trim around the door glass can get fragile with time but replacements for most everything inside are still available from Toyota/Lexus. With such a small V8 you'd expect better mileage but 18/25 seems to be the norm, although 97-00 cars got slightly better mileage with the variable-valve-timing along with more horsepower. Popular upgrades to these cars include bolt-in Supra Turbo engine and brake conversions, HID retrofits, LED lighting upgrades, Supra 6-speed conversions, and much more! If you are looking for a 2-door car that will start every time, make you smile every drive, is supremely comfortable, is built with the strength of a battleship, and will still turn heads this is the best choice for you!

I have the 1jzgte swap in there with a t67 turbo. Overall the car is amazing. Gas mileage is horrible, but it is making 400 whp. It's heavy but still is a blast to drive and smokes anyone on the highway. Sleeper forever. No repairs needed except for interior pieces that are cracking. It really is the luxury supra.
