I have owned this car for 2 years and it has been a rare treat. The odometer shows just over 100,000 perfectly maintained miles. It runs and handles like new. The interior and exterior look great and the engine compartment looks brand new. I changed the oil every 3,000 miles always using Mobil 1 synthetic. I just replaced the stock 16" Chrome Lexus wheels with a set of BBS 17" wheels and Z rated Potenza tires - $2,500. It also has a custom exhaust system which sounds great and adds some horsepower. The car has all maintenance up to date. I have extensive records and a complete service print out is available from Lexus. The car just passed smog and is registered until December 2002. It is ready to go!

This car has got it all from a performance standpoint. The computer controlled all aluminum V8, complete with 32 valves and 4 overhead cams delivers 260 horsepower and 270 lbs of torque. And all this power from a mere 240 cubic inches (4 liters) WOW! The transmission is equally impressive. Lexus engineers have equipped the SC 400 with a 4-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with ECT-i intelligence - which interacts with the engine's on-board computer to regulate line pressure, in turn providing smoother shifting.

Ride and handling are first class thanks to the 4-wheel, double-wishbone, coil-spring suspension, gas-filled shocks and variable-assist, speed-sensitive power steering.

What an awesome sound system - a $4,000 option when new. The Nakimichi, 280 watt, seven speaker set-up with 12 disc CD trunk mounted changer blasts.

Of course the SC400 boasts a long list of standard luxury-line features that include leather seats and appointments, maple trim, multi-adjustable power seats, a power telescopic/tilt steering wheel, automatic climate control, outside temperature gauge, cruise control, power locks and a remote entry system.

Here are some shots of the car with the original Chrome Lexus rims.
