1997 Lexus Sc300 Arizona Car New Car Trade on 2040-cars

Year:1997 Mileage:148107
Location:

Beaver, Pennsylvania, United States

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  The timing belt has been replaced by a Lexus dealership previously @89,317 and the date of that was 1/30/2007.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!

2014 Lexus IS brings boldest design yet to entry-level luxury

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

Lexus is evidently dead serious about removing some of the starch from its collar, as evidenced by the boldly styled new IS sedan just unveiled here at the Detroit Auto Show. We didn't know what to make of Lexus' entry-level sport sedan when we first saw images of it earlier this week. Dominated by the gaping maw of a spindle grille and flanked by headlamps with Nike swoosh daytime running lamps, the photos showed a distinctive (if not completely cohesive) design. Having now seen the design in the metal, we have to admit it comes together better than it does on screen.
The new model will feature both rear- and all-wheel drive models in both 2.5-liter V6 (IS250) and 3.5-liter V6 (IS350) trims. Lexus also showed an IS300h hybrid model at the reveal, but it is earmarked for Lexus' home market of Japan, along with Europe and other markets. No word yet on why the model probably won't be sold here in North America, but our AutoblogGreen compatriots are looking into it.
Aside from its bold new look front and rear, the IS carries forward a lot of the ideas seen in other newer Lexus models, namely the GS. Hidden beneath the IS' sheetmetal is the multilink rear suspension from the GS, along with its electric power steering setup. The new IS rides atop a three-inch longer wheelbase for better rear seat room, but during our brief time sitting in the car at the press conference melee, it still didn't feel terribly roomy (it rarely does in this class). At least the seatbacks fold 60/40 for the first time for additional utility.

Gazoo heads to the N"urburgring with Lexus LFA Code X

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

You'd be forgiven for thinking just because the Lexus LFA has ended its production run (it's been over a year now) that Toyota would have ceased its development. You'd be forgiven, but Gazoo Racing is here to tell you you'd still be wrong.
One of Toyota's many works racing teams, Gazoo is returning to the 24-hour endurance race at the Nürburgring this year with a trio of entries. One is based on the Toyota GT86 (which we know as the Scion FR-S), and one is essentially the same LFA that it's entered in years past. But the third vehicle is dubbed Code X.
It's also based on the LFA, but its 4.8-liter V10 engine has been bored out to 5.3 liters, raising its output to untold levels. It's got a full carbon-fiber chassis and a range of other enhancements that Gazoo isn't telling us about just yet, but they should turn the LFA Code X from a road-going supercar beyond a racecar and into a rolling research lab. Considering that Gazoo has been racing at the 'Ring since 2007 and fielding versions of the LFA there since 2008, it'll be interesting to see how the Code X version fares.

New Lexus small CUV may have been behind moving ES production to Kentucky

Mon, 22 Apr 2013

Lexus may have had another big reason - in addition to the financial incentives potentially worth up to $146.5 million that Kentucky offered - to move ES production to its Georgetown, KY plant. The ES has always been built in Japan, and a report at TheDetroitBureau.com claims that the Kyushu facility will be tooling up to build a new model thought to be a compact hybrid crossover expected to go on sale next year. While ES300h production would remain in Japan, shedding 50,000 units of traditional ES production would free capacity for what many think will be an important model in the Lexus lineup.
The new CUV will come in below the RX and be built on the platform of the RAV4. Speculation is that there will be an NX200t and an NX300h, the former possibly getting the 2.0-liter turbo Toyota engine due in 2014 - matching the predicted timeline for the CUV and supposedly also meant for an RX200t - and latter getting the same 2.5-liter hybrid powertrain in the ES300h. We'll see a preview of the Audi Q3 and BMW X1 fighter at this year's Tokyo Motor Show; the production version should be unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
