Background Story of this 1997 Lexus SC400

Overview of 1997 Lexus SC400 For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

This 1997 Lexus SC400 comes in plain black coat, replete with reportedly original stripes. Meanwhile, we’ve got all new Michelin tires and new headlamps to freshen up this car. You might not immediately know it, but the first-generation SC is closely related to the A80 Supra. Come to think of it, you can now see a few cosmetic similarities here and there, now that we’ve raised the point. The four-seat interior of this 1997 Lexus SC400 comes with highlights such as automatic climate control, power windows, cruise control, and a Lexus premium sound system that can play CDs and cassette tapes. The current owner says that the beige leather interior is new, and it certainly looks inviting. We’re also told that the air conditioning compressor is reportedly new, so the AC should blow ice cold. Meanwhile, there’s a power tilt-and-slide sunroof, for when you want to let the sun in. We must point out how the interior retains its original theme as far as possible. You’ll even find a car phone in the center console. Then, you pop the trunk and marvel at how much luggage you can easily pack in there.

Engine

This 1997 Lexus SC400 comes with a strong and smooth 4.0L V8, driving the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic gearbox. The engine is good for around 260hp as per factory figures, giving you strong acceleration when called for. Meanwhile, the car’s front and rear double wishbone suspension with coil springs provides a comfortable ride, but this car isn’t afraid of a little bit of sporty driving. Front and rear ventilated disc brakes are standard too, to corral the V8’s power when needed.

Lexus is a Japanese luxury auto brand created by Toyota in the late Eighties, with the aim of making waves in North America. Many of Lexus’ products were finely-engineered examples of Toyota’s top-tier offerings, and this continues in some forms to this day.

A car that enjoys legendary status with petrolheads anywhere in the world, the fourth generation Toyota Supra is one for the history books, in the G.O.A.T section. That’s Greatest Of All Time, in case you’re not well-versed with pop culture. And today, we’ve got a G.O.A.T for sale, in the shape of this 1997 Toyota Supra from Arlington, Texas. Beneath its smooth black body lines lies the legendary 2JZ-GTE twin-turbo six, and it’s been built to a Stage 3 Stroker level by Induction Performance. It’s matched by a Jack’s Transmissions-built V160 6-speed manual transmission and a host of performance goodies. This car has done a mere 32,000 miles and even has ProEFI Flex Fuel (E85) engine management on board. The current owner discloses that the car faced an off-road incident in 2015 with damage to the wheels and front lip, but has since been repaired since no structural damage was reported.
