1997 Lexus Sc300 Arizona Car New Car Trade on 2040-cars
Beaver, Pennsylvania, United States
|
First off our company Del-Hon Autosales has been in business for over 30 years at the same location about 30 miles north west of Pittsburgh. You can contact us Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm and on Saturday from 9am-3pm @724-728-8883 ask for Vince or Leyton.
We acquired this car off of a new car dealer who received it on trade. It was Registered in PA on March 8th, 2012 otherwise it has spent its entire life in Arizona. If it was not winter here in Pittsburgh this car would most likely have been sold already. We have set a reserve just under $5000. This car deserves to be garage kept. Our 1997 SC300 came out of Arizona and stayed there for the majority of its life. Typically you would never find a car of this age around here which has not been affected by the salt & chemicals on the road. The motor and transmission are extremely reliable as it is known as the LEGENDARY 2JZ which came in the Toyota Supras from 1993-98. There is a switch near the shifter which allows you to change the cars performance between economy and power mode. The transmission shifts smoothly on econ mode and raises the rpms on shifts during the power setting to allow for better performance. This is the luxury big brother of the Supra minus the turbo. If your a car guy this motor could be turbocharged quite easily. The timing belt has been replaced by a Lexus dealership previously @89,317 and the date of that was 1/30/2007. I would not hesitate to drive our SC300 across the country tomorrow if needed. The interior is in really great shape. The carpets are clean and the power leather seats are rip free. The power mirrors, windows, locks, tilt wheel, sunroof, and seats all work as they should. We have never seen a car like this which has such highly reinforced door hinges. You can tell this car was built with great quality and pride. As I previously stated in the vehicle condition description there is a small crack in the vinyl above the armrest on the drivers door. If you are looking for style this car has plenty of that. The paint and body are in great shape. It really sparkles in the sun shine. The chrome factory Lexus wheels really makes this ride stand out. The tires are atleast 70% if not better. No rust whatsoever and no raised spots where rust may eventually appear. Its a southern car!!! Read the vehicle description for the minor dings and small scratch which keeps the body from having a 10/10 rating. I would rate it at a 9 or better out of 10. All of the logos are on the car and there are no flaws with any of them. We are showing under body pictures car to show the quality of this SC300. This is truly a rare car for its age and condition. Feel free to ask any questions and to give us a call. If you want to come look at it before the auction ends you are more than welcome. We have in house notary service and have the title on hand. Buyer is responsible to set up shipping but if needed we can refer someone. We greatly appreciate your interest. Let the bidding begin! |

Drifting on a frozen lake with a studded Lexus looks like fun
Fri, 15 Feb 2013Sometimes you come across a list of ingredients and you don't even need to know what's being made, you just know you need to be there when it's done. So if you saw a recipe for a Vimeo video that was one snow-covered frozen lake, one Lexus IS, four studded tires, two ice fisherman and one guy lounging on a couch, do you think you'd have any questions?
We didn't. The dish was cooked up by the Wide Open Drift Team and KSP Productions, and it's exactly what you'd think it is. Right down to the guy on the couch. We're glad we got to partake, and you can too in the video below.
Toyota wants improved crash scores with midcycle facelifts
Thu, 29 Aug 2013The performances of some Toyotas in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) regimen of crash tests leave something to be desired. Consider the small overlap frontal crash test: only six Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles have undergone the new test, yet all but one of them received a poor rating. Osama Nagata, CEO of Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America Inc., says midcycle vehicle updates are in the works to address the safety issues brought to light by the IIHS test, Automotive News reports. He confirmed that the RAV4 is getting safety updates following its crash test performance last month, but he didn't name any other models.
All three Toyotas that were tested - 2013 RAV4, 2012-2013 Prius V, 2012-2013 Camry - received poor ratings. The 2007-2012 Lexus ES 350 and 2006-2013 IS 250/350 also received poor ratings. The only other Toyota Motor Corp. vehicle to score better than poor is the 2014 Scion TC. It received an acceptable rating in the small overlap frontal crash test and is the only recent vehicle in Toyota's line-up to get the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating.
The small overlap front crash test measures the safety of a car when its front left corner is strikes an object during an accident, bypassing traditional crumple zones, which deform in a way to protect passengers. In 2009, automakers were alerted to the forthcoming addition of the test, which was first implemented last year, IIHS spokesman Russ Rader says. They responded with differing intensity, he says, pointing out that Subaru and Honda started incorporating design changes early on so their cars would perform well in the tests.
Lexus: No plans for LFA replacement anytime soon
Tue, Feb 10 2015Supercars are fantastic in terms of their raw performance, sound and ability to inspire interest in an automaker. They aren't so good at actually making money, even for giant, global automakers like Toyota. And if you are holding out hope that Lexus might be fibbing about there being no plans for an LFA successor, we have some bad news. "I think you will see us do some incredible things in the future, but probably not a $375,000 supercar anytime soon," Lexus Executive Vice President Mark Templin told Automotive News. The issue comes down to the LFA's cost to develop and massive price. Lexus built just 500 of the V10 supercars from 2010 through 2012. Templin said that the plan was originally for a much more modest vehicle with a steel body. However, that intention changed to plans for an aluminum exterior and eventually evolved further to carbon fiber during the course of its engineering. Templin is clear that Lexus isn't giving up on more accessible performance with its F sub-brand models, but more supercars aren't coming, at least not anytime soon. He previously suggested that the LFA was a generational model with a 30-year wait for the next one. These days, the workshop that built the LFA has been converted for a much less powerful but perhaps more important vehicle. Toyota now uses it to build the Mirai with the company's hydrogen fuel cell powertrain.
