1997 Lexus Sc300 Arizona Car New Car Trade on 2040-cars

Year:1997 Mileage:148107
Location:

Beaver, Pennsylvania, United States

Beaver, Pennsylvania, United States

First off our company Del-Hon Autosales has been in business for over 30 years at the same location about 30 miles north west of Pittsburgh.  You can contact us Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm and on Saturday from 9am-3pm @724-728-8883 ask for Vince or Leyton.  

We acquired this car off of a new car dealer who received it on trade.  It was Registered in PA on March 8th, 2012 otherwise it has spent its entire life in Arizona.  If it was not winter here in Pittsburgh this car would most likely have been sold already.  We have set a reserve just under $5000.  This car deserves to be garage kept.  

Our 1997 SC300 came out of Arizona and stayed there for the majority of its life.  Typically you would never find a car of this age around here which has not been affected by the salt & chemicals on the road.  The motor and transmission are extremely reliable as it is known as the LEGENDARY 2JZ which came in the Toyota Supras from 1993-98.  There is a switch near the shifter which allows you to change the cars performance between economy and power mode.  The transmission shifts smoothly on econ mode and raises the rpms on shifts during the power setting to allow for better performance.  This is the luxury big brother of the Supra minus the turbo.  If your a car guy this motor could be turbocharged quite easily.  The timing belt has been replaced by a Lexus dealership previously @89,317 and the date of that was 1/30/2007.   I would not hesitate to drive our SC300 across the country tomorrow if needed. 

The interior is in really great shape.  The carpets are clean and the power leather seats are rip free.  The power mirrors, windows, locks, tilt wheel, sunroof, and seats all work as they should.  We have never seen a car like this which has such highly reinforced door hinges.  You can tell this car was built with great quality and pride.  As I previously stated in the vehicle condition description there is a small crack in the vinyl above the armrest on the drivers door. 


If you are looking for style this car has plenty of that.  The paint and body are in great shape.  It really sparkles in the sun shine.  The chrome factory Lexus wheels really makes this ride stand out.  The tires are atleast 70% if  not better.  No rust whatsoever and no raised spots where rust may eventually appear.  Its a southern car!!!  Read the vehicle description for the minor dings and small scratch which keeps the body from having a 10/10 rating.  I would rate it at a 9 or better out of 10.  All of the logos are on the car and there are no flaws with any of them.  We are showing under body pictures car to show the quality of this SC300.  This is truly a rare car for its age and condition. 

Feel free to ask any questions and to give us a call.  If you want to come look at it before the auction ends  you are more than welcome.  We have in house notary service and have the title on hand.  Buyer is responsible to set up shipping but if needed we can refer someone.  We greatly appreciate your interest.  Let the bidding begin!

J.D. Power: Mini, Lexus again offer most satisfying sales experience

Thu, 29 Nov 2012

JD Power has released its annual Sales Satisfaction Index Study, and once again Mini and Lexus have taken top honors. Overall, buyers are more satisfied with the auto-buying sales experience than they were last year, with those surveyed reporting an average score of 664 points on a 1,000-point scale. That's up from 648 in 2011. Dealer satisfaction also increased by five points over last year as well.
All told, Lexus brought home an index score of 737, which was high enough to put it atop the luxury brands for the second year in a row. JD Power says Infiniti came in second in that category with a score of 728 and Cadillac rounded out the podium with it's rating of 725. Speaking of Infiniti, that brand saw the single largest jump in sales satisfaction of any brand on the survey, popping up 52 index points over 2011.
Among mass-market brands, Mini ranked highest with a score of 712, followed closely by Buick with 706 and GMC farther down the line with 683. You can check out the full press release below for more information.

Toyota announces two recalls affecting 1M Corolla, Matrix and Lexus IS models

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

The recall bug strikes Toyota again. The automaker has issued a voluntary recall of three models that, in total, represent more than one million units. Around 752,000 2003-2004 Toyota Corolla and Matrix models are being recalled for airbag concerns, while a windshield wiper issue is causing the recall for close to 270,000 Lexus IS sedans from the 2006-2012 model years.
Completely unrelated to the small airbag-related recall issued earlier in the week, the Corolla and Matrix recall is caused by a faulty airbag control module that could potentially short circuit, which could lead to the front airbags or seat belt pretensioners deploying. The Lexus recall is due to a wiper arm nut that wasn't tightened properly, which can cause the wipers to not work when trying to clear heavy buildup such as snow.
Scroll down for a press release that includes more information, as well as details about how owners can contact the manufacturer directly.

Judge halts Toyota unintended acceleration cases, triggers time for settlement negotiations

Mon, 16 Dec 2013

So far, the lawsuits brought forth against Toyota for unintended acceleration have gone both ways: the automaker was found not at fault in a 2009 California crash and liable for a 2007 crash in Oklahoma. Both cases involved a Camry and resulted in fatalities. With a big chunk of these UA cases (around 200) set to his the docket of US District Judge James V. Selna in Santa Ana, California, Bloomberg is reporting that the judge has halted the lawsuits until March after Toyota and its lawyers have had extra time to try and settle the cases.
According to the article, Toyota is looking to take care of the cases out of court with an "intensive settlement process." Having already paid out $1.6 billion in "economic loss" suits, this latest settlement process is aimed at the wrongful death and personal injury cases allegedly associated with unintended acceleration. A hearing for the settlements will be held on January 14 with conferences on the matter commencing in February. There is no word as to when lawsuits may start back up if settlements can't be agreed upon.
