Ah, the 90's... Best years for Japanese sports cars and classic German luxury cars.
So fresh. So clean. I applaud the owner and his tastes.
Thank you, I appreciate that
Nikita Korsakov why are you selling it?
Peach Games yep, it's for sale
why do you want to sell it it looks so clean and amazing
Peach Games I'm getting married and moving in a month so toys gotta go
It's so purty.
ThatDudeinBlue Supra in a suite.
ThatDudeinBlue I want juan
ThatDudeinBlue It's sad how excited I am about new videos now..
ThatDudeinBlue Time for the IS300!
Seiko The Neko Yes! I've been waiting for so long.
This is one of my favorite cars. I like to call it a supra wearing a tuxedo.
YES!!! FINALLY MY CAR! This car is a hidden jewl, and for anyone looking for a super cheap, badass car, get this! You can get one for under 4k with a 2jz. This is the poor man's supra!
ImReflexess orrrr a IS300
Donovan Chung would rather have an SC pre OBD2, easier to tune, not vvti so easier to turbo, also thousands of dollars cheaper, and better looking imo. IS300 is much harder to turbocharge and also SC's are easier to swap out the 2jz and put in 1j's or gte's
Donovan Chung IS's are suffering from drift tax in this day and age. No one messes with SC's
Because the wheelbase is a lot bigger making it harder to learn to drift.
Stephen Jessop Gut it, weld the diff, racing seat, carbon hood (since they're heavy as fuck) and you'll be down to about 3000lbs, and you're set
This video is 7 yrs old but no matter it’s still one of the nicest, cleanest examples of a sc300 I’ve seen in a while. Always wanted a 300 or 400, never had the pleasure sadly. Outside of sightings vids like this bring me back
Thank you SOOOO much. I suffer from depression and I was having a really bad day, and then, David reviews my all-time favorite car! Thanks for cheering me up so much David! Your the Best
keep you chin up Brother. Get an SC and drive it to the ground. It is the best cure for that
I hope you get your hands on any SC. I love mine and I wanna spread the love
Hope you're doing ok mate
Strongly believe lexus makes the best interior of any luxury car company
Dirty Dan EG lol you ever sat in a s class Mercedes??
@@Tonka_6.7 My friend has one. I still prefer Lexus.
That's wierd I didn't write that comment???? I've never sat in a Mercedes I have a Lexus sc300 and an is300 . Who the hell is on my RUclips ??😂😂
They're the best in their segment and can even fight with Bentley and Rolls Royce imo
@@Tonka_6.7 I have. Hated that thing. But my Lexus, or any other lexus I've been in? Fantastic.
Damn, that's a REALLY clean SC. It's truly gorgeous.
The right pair of rims make any car look good. Nice vid David!
I sooooo love the Lexus sc 300/400... I owned 7 of them. I actually have a 2013 bmw 650i and I rather drive the sc. I just bought another sc300 last week, color black- tan guys💪. This car will never get old!
Just picked up one of these yesterday, and its been a great daily so far, and I am absolutely ecstatic about it, thanks for making this review. :)
if a supra and a 240 had a baby this would be it
yet the sc300 was made first then a mk4
supra smh
I just bought one of these today. I love it
My first car was a 1992 SC300 in 2007, and I still have it. It now has 248k and runs like a champ. Burgundy with tan interior, 2" drop, some videos from when I bought it on my channel actually. I've kept it between owning a '99 Cobra and now a '14 Gt, and cry not being able to keep it insured and running because of budgeting because it really is the best driving car I've ever driven. Glad to see you finally review one and like it so much! Your channel was one of the reasons i even considered my 5.0.
Hey dude. I know this isn't really related to what you do, but I'm going through some tough times right now and your videos make me feel really happy because I love cars and seeing your extremely well made videos, combined with such beautiful cars is relaxing.
Love seeing your new uploads in my subscription feed, never miss an upload! Keep the videos cumin ;).
This is the best looking one of these I have ever seen. I do like the side profile. Reminds me of an S14 kinda
I have a 97 sc300 and absolutely fell in love with it, and at 276,000 miles it'll still pull hard
One of my favorite cars and reviews , just a perfect video to watch !
Its cool how cheap Lexus’s are but how extremely luxurious they are plus they are by far the most reliable cars on the road. I drive a 98 es300 and im 16 years old. They are great first cars but i’ll be purchasing many in the future.
I just wish they sold more manuals here in the us
You got yourself a good reliable first car. Look after it and it'll take care of you! 😊
I bought a 240sx to drop a 2j and use it to cruise around and enjoy the power, now that I'm seeing this I think I should've bought a sc300 and slapped a turbo onto it lol
Been waiting for this review! It looks so good! Good job on the review.
I was looking all over for a modern review of this car and couldn't find anything. Thanks so much for doing this car and please do more hidden gems like these :D
I don't understand how 44 people dislike this video...I would love a clean sc300 like the one in this video. Style and comfort is the way to go for me. Can't really finger bang the girl you picked up while banging gears and hittin boost...Although you prolly can as it has been done many times before hahaha
Seems like buying one of these might be better than buying a brand new car...these cars held up really well over the years.
You are more than right. There is no reason to buy a brand new car now a days, other than keeping up with the Jones'.
Agreed. I recently purchased a completely original 97 SC300, 140k, one owner and it looks and drives beautifully, like a modern car
@@farmanshaikh6405 how are the transmissions on it
1st Gen SC is one of the nicest coupe designs - timeless.
With a drop and nice wheels - it looks better and just as modern than most new coupes today.
Props to your intros man, you have nice beauty shots of the cars. Keep it up!
one of my fav imports of all time. guhhhh
It's like a Supra, only it's a Lexus. It really is purty. And it's only $8500 obo!
but a Lexus is a Toyota, like a Supra.
Silva DLM
Exactly!
So its not ruined like you think the supra he reviewed is?
HazardWolfGaming
Nope, this one is done just right. No silly stuff.
February $8500? where im from they are only worth around $2000-3000
I never thought you would review a Lexus SC lol. My First car was a SC400 and I love it. Great review!
This is another great review of yours. Quality is high and your unbiased & honest opinion is enlightening as usual.
Wow.. very clean for sure... I love the wheels and color combo. This was one of Lexus' first attempt at the luxury sportscar & a forerunner of the LFA although the LFA truly is in a class by itself. You crane sequences are getting so much the tits... LOL. You are right the car still has some mystique. Nice job mate ThatDudeinBlue
DoctaM3 And then the SC430 which was only good for pensioners in Florida. Lexus really screwed up on that one, but the LFA, RCF and ISF have made up for that.
Toni Sukles Very true and they all benefited from he lesson learned in building the LFA. Pretty cool.
Now you have to find an IS300! That would be awesome!
Nice! Thank you for doing the Sc300. Really love this car, and glad you're able to get your hands on one. Shame manuals are hard to come by though...
Absolutely beautiful car! Awesome review, as always David! :)
Love the stance alot. Lowered lifestyle
it's so hard to find a manual one these days
my bro found one 5 speed for 2400 with 170k miles so clean
+Froilan Avalos may I ask where? I'm looking for one
they only sold them in automotic iirc
+Kris A there are some stick sc300 but the sc400 was strictly automatic
They only made a couple thousand of the 5 speed sc300’s
Beautiful, loved this. Keep it up man!
I own an SC400, and every so often I have to come back and watch this, because it makes me feel even better about my car. The opening of this video is ICONIC, and forms the mental picture in my head, of SC perfection, even when I am away from the screen.
In fact, the previous owner of my car, told me that THIS VIDEO was what spurred him to even want one in the first place. haha
2J is always a winner despite the model whether its a GS, SC, Supra, Aristo etc...
Sweet SC300 by the way. Hope the owner is a Club Lexus member, if not, have him join the forum.
I am on clublexus and been a member for years but I rarely go on there. This was my second 99 sc300
+Nikitakorsa
Nik,
is your 98-99 lexus is300 still for sales?
+Nikitakorsa
Nik,
What tire and wheel size did you go with on your sc300?
+lowKut dont forget is300
+albussnow Oh yes, totally forgot about the GS little brother IS300. Amazing car, for those who wanted a 4 door manual transmission from the factory opt for this beast since the GS only came in automatic with tiptronic.
I would buy this car it looks so sexy, everything is ideal the wheels the stance and that red color with the contrasting tan interior make it pop!
Buy it, I'm selling it
Nikita Korsakov How much for it?
$8.5 obo
Nikita Korsakov Not a bad deal the problem is I live in Houston
Dang that's far.. Shipping or fly down here?
I love the bumper, spoiler, and wheels. Looks so put together.
always loved these cars since i was a kid playing gt1, nice to see you reviewing one.
Clean!
Went on Craigslist after this video.
Props to the owner for his tasteful yet incredibly
Simple mods. This would make a nice daily while I build
my Rsx or buy an evo and build that.
Belicose777 Thanks man i appreciate it. You should buy it then
Haha your selling it?
Youre***
They need to experience the 1JZ-GTE Soarers
Such a beautiful car! looks really good!!
Beautiful and timeless! Nicely done
Is that Matt Farah's million mile Lexus?
LMAO
This is not Matt Farah's million mile Lexus.
I don't think you get the reference!
***** I don't think you do...
Daniel P.S This meme is pretty dank by now.
What's another 9 minutes when it's already 2:40am?
Are you really that fucking dense to believe this
Christian Powell To believe what?

Back in the day I was so in love the the Lexus SCs. I viewed them as the Supra replacement.
Nice! I'm hoping I can buy this model soon. Great review man
Sc300's are beautiful, especially this one! It sucks that they're so underrated...
Well, to be honest it's good that they are underrated…
It makes it even more special!
Especially when you own one! ;)
Max Remish it’s actually pretty good that they are underrated. Makes this vehicle reachable for those that know it and love it, instead of “its famous so I like it” driving its price all the way up. Still, while underrated, it can still surprise
please do a 2001-2005 is300 with a 2jzGE youll love it if i lived near u i would let u drive mine
PainEditz yes!!!!!!
PainEditz Eww a non turbo 2J is just pointless
jerichom11x You understand that is what this car has, right? Lol
PainEditz what year is your is300? and have you done anything to it?
TrickswagDoe mine is still all motor for the time being but im on srt coils, full catback exhaust, srt bolt ons and limted ed fast 18 x 7.5 wheels simple clean and about 18 more hp than stock and 22 pft
Absolutely beautiful! Its not all about power in the car scene! Great review man!
The red colour, the tan interior, and silver wheels all contrast with one another so well. Nik, good job bud! Looks amazing!
Thanks man
Isnt this Matt Farrah's Million Mile Lexus?
I know what your trying to do..lol RCR👍
Brian Williams No, this is Matt Farah's Million Mile Toyota Soarer. :')
Brian Williams Your jokes are as overplayed as your avatar. Try again, maybe something original
Yes Brian
Brian Williams stop making up lies Brian Williams.
thought it was gonna be a review of that civic si on your instagram :(
Thats really clean.big thnx for the review on this car!
Great review as always David 😀
I've always thought this car looked like a Nissan Silvia.
Rear lights have s13 in there some where
I'd guess the S14 was heavily influenced by the Soarer - it came out 4 years afterwards.
Glad to find I’m not the only one who thought that lmao
i want a sc400 rrrreeeeaaallllyyyy bad
Buy one! Lol I'm sure they're at a fair price.
fern dom I sub to you on that funny app (;
Lincolnlsgt thats the good one haha
fern dom hi lol
Ishieness they are, but there also isnt many. then there is also the problem of me being born 2001. you do the math. lol
First car I fell in love with when I learned to drive. Its also the reason why I got an is350. I love the sc300
Great video , i love the owners thinking behind that car.
Is it just me or does this car remind you of a '95 240sx s14 cause everytime I see one it reminds me of 240sx
To me this is the best styling (not counting the LF-A) Lexus has ever made to this date. It's almost Supra MK4 like. Nice sleek coupe. I saw one just like this parked and very taken care of but instead of the black badges, it had gold plated badges. Very beautiful car. I would pursue one of these instead of any of the current cars they're selling.
And yes I agree, not all the time you need 300, 400, 600 hp to have fun driving a car. I don't want to do anything to my FRS, because I enjoy my drive, I love the way it looks, it's just perfect for me. Plus I don't have to worry about compromising my engine's life. In the past when I modified my cars, it would tend to attract all the assholes on the road with shrimp dick syndrome who needed to race to compensate for inadequacies.
What a stunning example, my 1998 SC400 is the same color, beautiful, great video.
Just wanted to pop in and say I recently ended up picking up a 97 SC300 factory 5-speed around the Atlanta area after oggling over the SCs for months and watching videos like this one over them. Long story short is there is a stage 3 clutch in that thing; It's a little bumpy getting going from a stop, but it gives the drive train a bit of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde duality going on.
This car is now sold
how much did you get for it?
Next up: Altezza.
Stoopid boi
Damn six years later and you’re verified on RUclips crazy
The cleanest Lexus and the best imo
I've been waiting for a Lexus review!!!
I just bought a 97 manual one of these with the black/tan interior. Stock suspension rides like a dream.
2jz?lexus? in other news there is a 2001 bmw z3 for sale in the tampa bay area.
MrCutlerycrazy Confused? Lexus is the luxury brand of Toyota, basically.
MrCutlerycrazy This is a Toyota Supra with a Lexus badge. That's where 2jz comes from or rather 'is shared'
February I thought it's supposed to be the Soarer not Supra?
There were both N/A and turbo versions on the Supra. So your not wrong in saying its should be the Soarer, but it could also be the Supra. Some mother company, same engine.
Rake Rider no, its just that a lexus generally is alot more comfortable than a toyota and has more of a sleeper element to it
Tavarish fucking ruined it for me lol. Was going to be my first car but he wrote an article about 'em like a month before I was going to buy one and they all disappeared off the classifieds instantly
omg same
I have a '98 silver with black interior, mint car. Everything works 110%. This is my 4th and it took a while to track down :)
+Alex T how much u played for it ?
+iliovecaRS The later model years ('97-'00) commend a premium due to upgraded bumpers/sideskirts, tail lights/fogs, steering wheel, etc. Ones with black interior are especially hard to find. With 120-150k miles these cars normally sell for roughly $6,000-$7,000.
The earlier pre-'97 especially with tan interiors and automatics are the most common and the cheapest ones, they can be had as low as $2,000-$3,000 but most will be in very rough shape with 200k+ miles.
Found a clean with 89k dark green w/tan it was for 5500 but it was sold :(
Nice review. I can't wait to see you review a 2JZ S2000 man. There's something about that setup that just draws me in.
Dude this is my grandpas car. Omg I love it. Old Lexus cars are great! Then my grandpa got a Porsche boxter. That was sick. Back in the 90s
When I saw it was automatic I cried a little... But if any car deserves automatic, its this car! If that made sense....
Gingium 98 and up only came in automatic :(
there are stick sc300 but there really hard to find that are in good condition the sticks were made through 1992 - 1995
@@2strokezay189 They made the sticks til 97, but in 97 the first year of the (Newer Body Style) they only made 120 manual models
Herd to find manual ive been looking
@@nikitakorsakov9041 yep along with the VVTI motor with the weaker bottom end ☹️
Shanksquad
Nothing better than coming home to another great video
Your right abt the less is more with the wheels. And that red paint with tan int is just perfect!!
Kinda new to the car scene is this a Toyota soarer?
Martyr Maggot yes
Since you're new time the car scene, other Toyota's around that time that were nice would be the Cresta, Chaser and Mark 2 Tourer. Not to mention the usual...
Yes it's the expensive Lexus version of the can of peanuts priced soarers. A curved 2dr jzx...
Mitch P yes it is
2jzgte + manual swap IT
your videos make mondays better dude!
I bought this car from Nick shortly after this video was made back in may 2015 and I still own it, I've replaced alot of parts since then but have kept it stock, I drove it from 5th Tampa to Las Vegas 2 years ago, where I have lived since. I still love this car, Its my second SC300 I've owned.
After i sold this car to you, iv regrated not getting your info so i can see what you would do to it. Do you still have it? Id love to see what it looks like now. I miss this car, so after 7 years of not having one, i just bought a 98 Sc400.
"The car is an automatic."
*turns off video*
JK. Nice review!
What should i get as my first car? Something fun pls. Im 17 and only get about $9 an hour. Mainly looking for something under 5000. As of now i have 1.2k.
Like i said to the other guy fwd no sliding but its reliable best choice ive ever made rwd requires more expierence and save as much as you can and go south for a car if you happen to live in a northern place because thats where youl find a rust free car for cheap no rust also normally means lest problems
I live right in the middle. I live in MD right next to DC. I know how to drive, RWD is all iv driven. My dad wants to sell me his 2004 Acura TL which is fwd for 6k and its in great condition but eh. I really prefer a 2 door rwd car that isnt an old honda civic or accord.. Really hate hondas lol.
GxD obviously youve never owned one i dont like fwd but my prelude is quick clean and starts every day at 16 years old it runs perfect and youve been driving for what 6+ months and at 17 you need something reliable not quick and slidy cus i guarantee every 240sx you find has been beat to a pulp for 200000 miles and is an inch from blowing up so unless you have money for a swap its bad
Fc rx7. Stop playing around.
Actually iv been driving since 15. Youre right, iv never owned a honda but iv been in hondas so much..I just hate hondas period. Who said anything about a 240sx?
Very clean. I had my accord like that. Lowered with rims. & a stereo system.
I think I have found my next project,maybe a Soarer after I finish the rebuild on RHD FairladyZ. Another great vid man, keep it up.
the car has a very supra vibe to it
its the poor man's supra
Bruh it's the smart man's Supra. The car is thousands of dollars cheaper, and with around 2k in parts you can get the exact same performance HP-wise. The 2JZGE is unkillable and you can easily run 20 PSI of boost, and if you want to push it, 25 PSI with new injectors and a head gasket. (which with the turbo kit is around 2k) Why would you buy a Supra when you can get the luxury version cheaper and make it perform the exact same with a little bit of work?
((225/14.7)x25)+225=607 horsepower. For only injectors, a head gasket, and a turbo kit, being able to push 607 horsepower out of a car that goes for 2k-8k on Craigslist is ridiculous. A *high* estimate for the car and all the work would be $10k. A 600+ horsepower car for 10k is a fucking steal.
T4LT Hereticus fuck yeah bro! Im with you on that.
looks like a stretched out integra
Dante Planeta and a little bit of celica
The old one
Used the same song in one of my car videos haha, great video David!
been waiting for this forever
Ahhh the sc300. The supra's ugly, fatter slower cousin.
Ugly & fat?!
The SC looks really nice! Classy!
Plus, the Supra looks a bit fatter…
Still love the Supra though! ;)
These are so clean... I've always loved the SC's. I own an SC430 pebble beach edition and love it, but I would still not hesitate to pick up an older SC for a second cruiser.
Such a nice car! One of my all time favorites!
hey ThatDudeinBlue
i know ur a growing channel and i gotta say, great vids... always excited when u post a vid! u deserve more likes and views and subscribers man! buuut.... u did come a little late to the car vids lol its all good tho, ull definetly get there soon cuz of the quality of ur vids!
The SC looks so majestic in red
I have an H2B civic. No AC, or power steering (won’t fit) I would like to get a nice comfortable daily like this. Something that super quiet as far road noise, good sound system, and ice cold AC!! And soft suspension
My second favorite all time car shape. Awesome.
I own a 92 Lexus sc300 bought it about a month ago for$900 not a single problem. I love this car I have wanted one since I first seen it when I was younger.
