1999 Lexus SC 400 4.0 V8

Fantastic looking, great performing, luxurious beauty

Faults:

Driver's side seat belt does not roll all the way up. Needs to be replaced.

Because of the belt the pocket in the door is damaged. Needs to be replaced, repair not possible.

General Comments:

Incredible looking car, non-aging beautiful looks.

Handling in dry is fantastic, but in wet it needs very good tires.

Performance is great, specially this 1999 VVT-i version.

Always stays luxurious at any speed.

You lucky man. I have a 1992 SC. We don't get the 1998-2000 versions in Canada.

I believe my upper or lower control arm bushings are worn and in need of bushing replacement. This is a 92 SC 400 with 125000 miles on it. Can I use the existing arms and change bushings, or does the whole unit need replacing? The car has been well cared for. Don't know why the bushings wore out.

99 SC400 - best car owner... period.

RELIABLE, comfortable, corners & brakes well, power decent, quiet, reasonably economical. Visually stunning and timeless.
