$3950 FIRM
Priced below poor condition @ $4,588
Yet car is in Very Good-Excellent condition? What am I possibly thinking?
and I'm including over $1200 in aftermarket modifications?
Am I crazy?
Well duh. but I want something else for the winter that I don't have to care about, so let's pick this up for cash ladies and gentlemen.

Just testing the waters on my automatic 1995 Lexus SC300 (2jz). I picked this up a week or so ago on an emergency as a means to an end. Now I don't need it anymore as my other car is fixed so I'm looking to possibly sell or trade for something else with cash on either end. 350z, 240sx, s13 or s14. Or cash is always king.

Car is located in Bloomington, IN but am wiling to possibly travel a couple hours in one direction or another.

It has 165,253 miles on the clock, and is in really good shape with a clean and clear Indiana title. EVERYTHING WORKS on this car and prior to a local friend, it was a one owner doctor owned car until the last 4400 miles. It is lowered slightly with a couple things here and there to make it more enjoyable to me, such as a new exhaust system, wheels, and a little better performance suspension.

Cool New Things:
Unorthadox Pulley Set
Apexi-style Intake
Supra Exhaust (nice quiet tone)
17" TE-37 Replicas with Yokohama tires
Tokcio Blues
Recent Maintnence:
Timing belt was changed by Toyota dealer (with sticker)
Fluid changes and maintnence receipts that date back to a couple years ago from local Toyota/Scion dealer

Every option available such as:
Power Moonroof
Heated power leather seats with memory settings
12-disc CD changer
Functional Traction Control, Power Mode, and O/D switch.

Flaws:
Seats are worn. Easily remedied by buckets, seat covers, or OEM replacements.

This is the extent of the rough interior that I describe previously. In retrospect, it's not that bad, but I'm a perfectionist...soooooooooooo.

The exhaust tone of this car is truly intoxicating.

If Jessica Alba's body made a sound. It would sound like this.

I'm taking all offers but am far more motivated to trade for another s-chassis, or a miata.
As always cash is king though.

Just updating, the car was scheduled for some dealer-recommended cooling system maintenance.

So, after a bill of $744.95:
- OEM Replacement Water Pump
- OEM Replacement Radiator
- Coolant Flush
- Check of all belts/hoses
- Refill of all/any low fluids

Just another receipt to add to the pile gentlemen and ladies. Trying to keep up on what the original owner started. Open to all trades and cash offers, looking to sell within the next week to fund a winter beater.

Thanks!!!

Window was moving slow and making me hate it.

So I replaced the regulator and motor, brand spanking new.
Wonderful.

I'm down, text me. I'll be in Fort Wayne Tuesday-Friday though, then back here to Bloomington.

Andrew: I uploaded a few more pictures and edited the first post to include them and the old ones as well for your viewing pleasure.

Need to buy myself a new set of wheels, this would make me feel less guilty about it, so let's get some action in here!

Update: This weekend I will be replacing the OEM stereo with a new Pioneer head unit with an amp and and a subwoofer as well. I will include stock stereo and CD changer with sale still for any buyer who wishes to have them.

Fresh detail job, simply awaiting new owner:
Also want to update, new headlight bulbs, rear brakes, and more of the same shampooed carpet goodness as comes with standard detail procedure.

Thanks! Hahaha, it was too good to pass up.

Just wanted to update the thread, brakes were feeling mush mush so got all new pads and some rear rotors for the car to go on later this week as soon as they get shipped here.

So yeah, new brakes on the car too.

Final Bump:

Wanting to trade for a clean stock SR coupe or near-stock hatch, or a bone stock car in any condition plus cash.

Open to all trades, but that is what I prefer unless it is of the green kind of trade.

Update: Just bought a set of Stance GR+ Coilovers over Thanksgiving, these can be included with the car for an extra price. They will not be sold before the car is. Get me into a winter beater and out of the Lexus!
