Strong and Good looking. Only problem
is electrical stuff. Things get tricky
when wires get old and dirty.

1993 Lexus SC 300 2dr Coupe
These are great cars if you can find one with a factory 5-speed manual (or perform a manual swap).
I had read about SC300's years before buying one and knew of their extremely close lineage to the fourth generation Toyota Supra sports cars and especially the much better equipped Toyota Soarers (same exact car except for the engine).
I got my chance a year ago when I found a higher … mileage 5-speed model.
It only had one prior owner and had no accident history.
Save some expected cosmetic wear (replaced/fixed easily through parts channels/forums) and the need to do routine maintenance to a used car it has been an excellent drive and totally reliable.
Fun, Dependable Sport Luxury Coupe

1992 Lexus SC 300 2dr Coupe
I bought this car with 125,000 miles on it and I have had it about 2 years and it now has about 131,000 miles on it. Never had a SINGLE issue/problem with this car and it drives like a dream. However, there is a minor oil leak or transmission fluid leak that I have just recently noticed so I will need to have that fixed, otherwise for being a 13 year old vehicle I cannot believe the … exceptional reliablity this car has given me!
Awesome Car!

1992 Lexus SC 300 2dr Coupe
This has been the most maintenance free
car I have ever owned. I have over 140k
on it now, and I wouldn't hesitate to
take this car across the country
tomorrow. It's super reliable, comfy,
quiet, smooth, and has lots of style.
There's got to be a reason that Lexus
didn't change it for 10 years. The only
thing I might do different if I were to
buy another one, would be to get … the
SC400 to get a little more HP, and a
little smoother ride. There's little
difference in weight and economy between
the two...
