FS: 1997 Lexus SC400 RSP on black 1 of 17 ever made 11k firm FL

[3rdstrikedsm]

Up for sale is my 1997 Lexus sc400 in factory RSP color on black interior which this is as rare as it gets for the Lexus sc and supra mkiv platform.
Black interior and is a super solid runner with ice cold a/c, Car is very very clean and price is 100% non negotiable as they have sold for much more than my asking price in lesser condition plus no and I mean no rust as it;s been a FL car all of it's life.

I have taken super anal care of this car and only putting on about 600 miles last year and less than 200 this year as it sits in the garage under a cover 99% of the time.

I installed a super rare manual transmission cluster with new bulbs so chassis has 130k on it and cluster shows 170 but the m/t cluster is very hard to find!
V-8 is all aluminum and runs out very strong but not lsx fast /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I really really hate to sell this car as I said I never would but I have my eye on something else so I am on the fence about it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif but for now its for sale so I posted my non negotiable price.

There are minor flaws with the car but shows super well for the age. and I know I am forgetting tons of things I have done to her.

No longer for sale as I just can't let it go.

Gorgeous car.

 

[3rdstrikedsm]

Thank you^^ I thought about it and I know I will never come across another one in this condition and color combo so I can't part ways with the old girl /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Friend at work has an SC300 (5-speed) that had this color that was similar to that cobra color they had for a couple years, where it would change all sorts of hues/colors (like multiple pearls) depending on where you looked at it, although can't recall if it was factory or he did it..certainly never saw another.

I like blue cars...my GTO had a really nice blue and after seeing this thread, saw an IS-F on the way home that I think they used this blue now on? It looked really nice.

Sometimes I wished I had kept my GTO (paid off) or my CTS-V (only 130 made with my color and 1-year only), but they are just cars at the end and if you're ready for something else (there are SO many choices out there now), go for it, but just don't give it away.

 

[3rdstrikedsm]

Funny you mention the blue gto as that was a car I had in mind to replace this one along with another rhd evo, The color does that flip flop from blue to a bluish purple from the pearl which imo the color is perfect! I waited a couple of years for one to pop up for sale and when it did I jumped on it so that is why I re thought getting rid of this, The crazy thing is that 2 of the other rsp owners have contacted me begging me not to sell it so that had a bit to do with not selling it as well /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

This color only came on the 97-98 supra and lexus sc3/400 and it had to be special ordered the blue on the isf was usb ultra sonic blue which is actually close in color but a tick lighter,

 

[JNR]

Yeah, color makes a big difference on the car and the pearl effect is nice (unless you ever have to paint match it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif )...The impulse blue (GTO) was a nice color and that along with the optional 18's really looked nice and especially the 2006 (last year, best taillights, IMO)...the aussie monaro (same thing) offered some REALLY nice looking oem wheels that made the car look like a hot wheel.

I you do get a GTO someday and have the oem 18's, I always wanted to see what it would look like with the faces polished and maybe the rest of it in gunmetal, or something.

Good call. I have thought several times about selling my evo 1 seeing as it mostly just sits in the garage. But I know I will regret it if I ever did and its not a car easily replaced with another one when I want it back so I just let it sit in there till I one day have more time for it.

 

[3rdstrikedsm]

Well I have a line on getting legal rhd cars here if you ever need another but I can say I regret selling my evo 1 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif The only reason I was going to sell my Lexus is because I can get another evo 1 with ease but so little money for so many projects /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Can you get me a RHD car with ease? I was out at the villages about a month ago. Wow...golf cars everywhere!

 

[James]

I was also at the villages the other day, but not in the galant.

 

[3rdstrikedsm]

I actually moved to leesburg a few miles away but yea golf carts are the way of life there which is good as it keeps all the seniors from smashing their cars together /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yea I know a guy who can get jdm cars but you must have cash ready to purchase and he can get anything you want and has a few cars in stock such as a skyline and 2 integra type r's a ctr and a 3rd gen rx-7 no mitsu's

 

[VR4ownzU]

I just happen to come across a guy selling a EVO V in Orlando. I guess he can get RHD legally too. He has a Soarer, A couple S15s, some other cars.

 

[sag1441]

i dont understand how most jdm vehicles are federally legal. i see how people get them state registered but i feel they are never willing to explain how it is completely legal and ICE wont come snatch your contraband up. and how do you turn left at intersections? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[3rdstrikedsm]

State legal is no real issue but there is no real way to get the federal legal which just a risk you take but it all depends on the state on how strict they are /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

S15 soecR, s15 specS, evo5, Toyota soarer manual, toyota aristo... A few others
