Overview of 1997 Lexus SC400 Coupe For Sale by Owner

The '90s was the golden era for Japanese tuner cars; you had a host of machines waiting to make history and set the tone for Japanese performance machines. Present today is an underrated hero that doesn't just bring that iconic '90s Japanese performance but also luxury and a smooth drive when needed; perhaps it's time you drove off in this lovely 1997 Lexus SC400 Coupe. With a reported 126,000 miles on the clock, this Japanese performance cruiser is the perfect weekend machine and can be your slice of '90s Japanese greatness.

Exterior and Interior

Dressed in a lovely Green exterior, this 1997 Lexus SC400 Coupe is one example that hasn't lost its personality and retains all its factory styling. A quick walk around this Japanese classic, and everything is in excellent condition. The car's paint is almost factory-fresh, further backing up this car's low mileage. In terms of shoes, this 90s classic sits on its factory chrome wheels. While it might be from a few decades back, the tan leather interior of this 1997 Lexus SC400 Coupe can give many modern luxury cars a run for their money. The leather interior comfortably seats four and features a host of tasteful features, including traction control, keyless entry, rear window defogger, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, and a premium sound system to ensure your smooth 90s tunes are done justice.

Engine

While it is a luxury cruiser, this 1997 Lexus SC400 Coupe is, after all, a Lexus. That means it'll likely be a reliable steed. Pop open the hood of this Japanese cruiser, and you will find a naturally aspirated 4.0L V8 powertrain that was reportedly capable of churning out a modest 260 BHP (factory figures) when new. The current owner reports double-wishbone front and rear suspension for a silky smooth drive feel and front and rear ventilated disc brakes to ensure you stop on time. In terms of power delivery, this '90s Japanese classic channels all its performance to its rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.

Lexus is what you get when Toyota decides to apply themselves towards making the best luxury car that Japan can come up with. The brand debuted in the United States in 1990, with the Lexus LS400. This flagship full-size luxury sedan is revered to this day for its sheer reliability, comfortable ride, and smooth V8 engine. Naturally, Lexus would reveal a grand tourer as well, which they did in 1992, as the Lexus SC. If you’ve always wanted a Nineties Lexus in your life (because let’s face it, they are superbly good cars even two or three decades later), consider this 131,000-mile 1997 Lexus SC400. It’s a fine example of Toyota’s bulletproof build quality in a luxury setting.
