Thinking about selling both of my cars and picking this up instead

Thinking about selling both of my cars and picking this up instead.

What does Veeky Forums think?

Anyone on here own/has owned a SC300? What are their weak points?

Haven't owned but here:

+good for summer driving
+fast
+seems in good shape, little work to do

-people will think your pee pee is small
-moonroof could possibly be prone to issues, but I wouldn't worry about it

Everything has its own computer module. Like fucking everything. Power windows is a module. HVAC is a module. Radio has a module. Gets annoying.

Also here is another one Im thinking about getting. Its got cosmetic damage though but less mileage and cheaper

I live in New England and I plan on driving it in the probably unless I pick up a winter shitbox.

So do you think I should stay away? I know its a Lexus but I assumed these are fairly cheap to maintain.

They are cheap to maintain, but because of the module system it can be a real bitch if you want to do upgrades. If you do any engine mods, you'll have to go with a piggyback system to keep your original ECU because it interfaces with the rest of the system. You won't have power locks, windows, etc without your original ECU.

>Manual

Give me the ad, I'm gonna buy it right now.

hm interesting. Thanks for your input user.

Would I be better off with the cheaper SC300 with damage or the immaculate one? pic related is the interior of the immaculate one.

Im not sure if I plan on doing engine upgrades

hehe maybe user maybe

and the engine bay

Immaculate one. A clean SC300 is incredibly hard to find, and that manual one is rare as fuck.

I can't believe I traded in my super clean 96 79k mile sc400 on a stupid ass new cruze. Oh well

why the fuck would you do that?

Are you stupid? Why am I even asking. Of course you are.

sc400s never came manual tho, only automatic

You didn't deserve that car to begin with, retard.

They were offered with a manual, they are just very rare.

no they weren't

Totally buy it. 100k miles on that engine is NOTHING. I bought my IS300 at 215,000 miles and doesn't skip a beat 20k miles laster. Do the typical, regular maintenance and that engine will last you for a long ass time.

get an sc400 much more reliable engine and better car overall

>More reliable than memeJZ
Both uz and jz are already at top tier reliable.
1uz doesn't come in manual and SC300 is easier to swap to a turbo 1jz or 2jz.

have a 95 V8 soarer

good
>fast
>great handling
>looks good
>superb cornering

bad
>electrics will fuck up
>engine is a pig to work on, for the v8 at least
>everything is expencive, everything

wait my mistake this is a fairly different car with the same chassis

Ignore what i said i have no idea

Wtf....hope it's in better hands

I want a manual
