Gold with Saddle Interior
First of all, I am NOT a dealer! I enjoy collecting cars and
often end up with more than I can handle!
This particular car was for personal use. I searched for a one
owner vehicle in near perfect condition for my wife to drive
instead of her SUV. The Lexus coupe was a favorite because I had
purchased a new one in 1992 and thoroughly enjoyed it for three
years.
This car was a one owner from Arizona and spent its entire life
there until I purchase it 2 months ago. I ran a carfax and it
verified the one owner status. I had the Lexus dealer run a
complete maintenance history on the car. The car is truly an
outstanding car. The gold exterior and saddle interior are
striking! It has the "Gold Package", consisting of gold emblems,
tail pipe and center inserts in the chrome wheels. Tires are
about 80%. I have both remote access keys to the car.
When the car arrived, I took it to the Lexus dealer for a
thorough inspection. Because there was moisture present in the
headlight assemblies (a common problem with the earlier coupes),
I had them both replaced at a cost of over $950. The only other
thing it needs is a switch for the outside rearview mirrors, but
they can be set manually and it was not a problem for us.
The exterior is outstanding. There is a small (2 inch) touch up
on the rear bumper which can barely be seen. The rubber under
the front bumper has a tear on the passenger side - obviously
from hitting a parking space concrete bumper. (Those who drive
these cars, Porches, and others with low hanging bumpers know to
avoid such dilemmas!) No dents, all seams line up as they
should, no fading of the clear coat. All in all, the car looks
brand new!
The interior is equally impressive. There is virtually no wear
on the leather seats except for a small strange two inch tear at
the top of the back seat (easily repaired for minimal cost. The
dash, carpet, gauges, and headliner are excellent and show no
wear. All lights work, the radio is outstanding along with the
factory 6 CD changer. Everything works with no issues. I have
put sheepskin covers on the front seats and they are in perfect
condition. See photo of driver's seat.
Why Am I Selling The Car? My wife drove the car for two weeks and
finally admitted to me that the arthritis in her knees bothers
her as she enters and exits this coupe. She prefers the RX300
she has been driving for a few years. {You will see from my
feedback that I purchased a 1995 Mercedes S Class to replace the
Lexus Coupe but got a bad deal from a Texas dealer and sold the
car within a few days}. I will probably buy my wife a new RX330.
This particular model is fast becoming a collector's item. I have
seen other Lexus coupes sell for more than $15,000 on Ebay and at
dealers. As for mileage, it is interesting to study the history
of Lexus cars. We have always believed that Mercedes vehicles
can easily go 300 - 400,000 miles without serious issues but the
history of Lexus only goes back to 1990 with the introduction of
the LS400. I have seen many of these cars with in excess of
200,000 miles still "purring" as they did ten years ago! The
mileage on this SC400 coupe, at 139,000, reflects a yearly
average of about 12,000 miles per year. The fact that it has
never seen snow or probably not even temperatures below 40
degrees is significant!
In summary, this car is exception. I would keep it as it
escalates in value as a collector's choice, but I simply have no
room to keep it indoors. My Reserve is set at what I have
invested in the car.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (316)
640-5000. I can also help in arranging shipping of the car.
