Looks Young for Eleven by Josh, N. VA on 06/26/2008. Trim: 1997 Lexus SC 400, Owned 1 year.

Pros: I love this car. The ride is fast, smooth, and quiet. I love the style of this car; it’s sleek and looks much newer than it. Although its eleven years old, the steering is still tight and responsive. The sound system is excellent (Although it has a 12cd changer, I typically just plug my iPod in with a tape adapter which works great). The leather seats are also very comfortable. In addition, the insurance is much lower on the SC than on other sports coupes.

Cons: There is very little I dislike about this vehicle. I have had this car for over a year and have had very few mechanical problems with it, which is great for an eleven year old car. Some complain that this car could be faster and have better performance, but I think it performs great considering its smoothness, quietness, and its level of luxury.

Overall review: I purchased this car over a year ago on eBay with 77k miles in great condition for $9500. As my first car, I couldn't be more pleased, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. If you find one in good condition, buy it.
