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  The timing belt has been replaced by a Lexus dealership previously @89,317 and the date of that was 1/30/2007.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 2013

Sometimes 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.

Production Lexus NX leaks online

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

The first photos of the new Lexus NX crossover have leaked onto the web over a week before its official debut at the Beijing Motor Show. These pictures are pretty blurry, but there is no mistaking that they show off the Japanese luxury brand's smaller, premium CUV.
While the teaser only gave us a glimpse at its pointed strip of LED running lights and angular grille, the new image proves that the CUV is definitely not afraid of sharp edges. However, compared to the original concept, it looks almost sedate. The production version drops the knife-like side mirrors for more conventional units, and the grille appears narrower. The vertical intakes at the edges of the front are dulled slightly but still present. The NX is indeed a polarizing vehicle - we'll be interested to see it in person. After all, we've grown to like the new IS after our first, shocking reaction. We should give Lexus some credit, too, for not following the premium CUV styling herd.
Seen elsewhere, these's an exterior photo that hints at a powertrain configuration. The bumper reads NX 300h, which likely indicates that there will be a hybrid version of the CUV. This is likely the same combined 220-horsepower system with a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle engine and electric motor found in the IS 300h in Europe. There is no word on whether that model will be sold here. It's rumored to be offered with a new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder as well. More details about the new Lexus are expected in China later this month.

Toyota's future fuel cell vehicle lineup revealed?

Wed, Aug 26 2015

Being an Olympic sponsor from 2017 through 2024 puts Toyota in the international limelight, and the company is preparing a fleet of efficient, cutting-edge vehicles just in time for the Tokyo games in 2020. At least eight new models could be on the way, according to Automotive News citing Best Car from Japan. Three of those might make use of the hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain developed for the Mirai. While many of these fuel cells are going into Japan-only vehicles, one of them could come here. Reiterating earlier rumors, Automotive News reports a hydrogen-powered Lexus LS is set for 2018. It could be even lighter than the current hybrid model, too. A similar version of the Toyota Crown would launch there in 2019 and possibly an FCEV Estima minivan, too. Beyond fuel cells, Toyota also intends to put the JPN Taxi Concept from the 2013 Tokyo Motor Show into production in time for the games, according to Automotive News. For 2017, the brand's flagship Century is also expected to adopt a hybrid V8 to replace the current V12, as well. Plus, many of its Japanese-market vans are also due for updates. All of this is certainly a massive undertaking to be ready in time, but Tokyo want to use the games as a chance to show the city as an innovative, international destination. Automotive News predicts Toyota could supply thousands of vehicles to haul all of the athletes and dignitaries around. In addition, the Japanese government wants 6,000 fuel cell vehicles on the road and 35 refueling stations up an running for the games. Related Video:
