Please call Greg directly at 513-200-9226 with any questions about
this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is proud to offer this amazing 1999 Lexus
SC400 in great condition with only 110,625 original miles. This SC
looks fantastic, runs great, and is an excellent driver. The
Renaissance Red paired with a Ivory interior is a beautiful color
combination that looks great on the car. This is an excellent
opportunity to own a classic, mechanically bulletproof Lexus that
is ready to be used and enjoyed at an unbeatable value. This SC is
almost a 1 owner car, with the second owner acquiring it with
around 20,000 Miles on it. One could easily buy this car now and
sell it for more than the purchase price in years to come as the
market on the Lexus SC chassis is strong right now and on the rise,
especially for examples like this that are well taken care of. The
original mileage is verified not only by the condition of the car,
but also the clear Ohio title showing the mileage as "Actual."
Please peruse all of the photos, the list of codes, video, and
information to get a true sense of how nice, clean, and original
this SC400 really is.
As a side note, this Lexus SC400 is not a dealer auction vehicle.
We hand pick each car after careful inspection. Our classics come
from owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give
the vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and
encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car
inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We
photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the SC,
just give us a call.
Exterior
The Renaissance Red exterior is in great driver condition. As one
can see in the photos the finish has a terrific gloss, deep shine,
and smooth finish. The Factory Chrome wheels are in excellent
condition with no rash and a great finish. The 225/55R16 tires are
almost new with plenty of tread left and no dry rot. All the
moldings and trim are in amazing shape and show that the car was
not left outside. There are no major imperfections that have been
intentionally excluded from the photos. The front bumper and driver
side mirror have a small crack that is barely noticeable from about
5-10 feet away. This lexus was garage kept its whole life and has
no rust issues whatsoever. As one can see in the photos of the
underside of the car, it is very clean underneath.
Interior
The Ivory leather interior in this SC400 is in amazing condition.
The seats are in great driver condition and look as good in person
as they do in the photos. The rear seats don't look like they have
ever been sat in. The carpet is in like new condition with no holes
or tears. The gauge faces are crisp and clean and the lenses are
crystal clear. The door panels are in good shape and the door pulls
are solid and intact. The dash and console are in great condition
with no cracks, fading, or sun damage. The jack and jack handle are
still with the car. The original space saver spare and medkit is
still with the car and has never been used. This Lexus has never
been smoked in; there are no burns marks and no aroma of
cigarettes.
Lexus interiors from this era are not known to wear well with
rather thin/fragile leather, and the great condition of this
interior is a huge testament to the meticulous care and attention
this car has received throughout its life.
Mechanical
This Lexus SC is in very good mechanical condition. The car starts
right away every time, runs well, and idles smooth. It drives great
and feels nice on the road and at highway speeds. In the video in
this ad one can observe the car accelerating on the highway up to
about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight,
and going through some curves. Please note that there are no
vibrations or strange noises and the car performs quite well
overall. The brakes do not pull to one side or the other. There is
no blue smoke when starting or driving the car. The car runs cool
and does not overheat. This SC has plenty of power and pulls great.
Also, the engine compartment is beautifully clean, detailed, and
correct as one can see in the photos.
If you're familiar with the 1UZ drivetrain in the 400 models of the
Lexus SC you know that they are amazing engines that will run
forever. Since this particular SC is a 1999, it got the most
revised version of the 1UZ engine with VVTi and slight compression
bump, making them put out around 300hp. This engine was put on
Ward's 10 best engines from 1998-2000 for its amazing reliability.
There's many articles out there of the 400 series LS/SC equipped
with the 1UZ making its way into the 6 digit odometer mark, and
even some all the way to a million miles. 110,625 miles is nothing
for this Lexus SC, and a lot of other toyota owners would tell you
that it's just been broken in.
The horn works as do all the exterior lights, interior lights,
wipers, power windows, and power locks. The sunroof functions great
like it should. The power/heated seats work great, and the
nakamichi stereo sounds fenomenal for a car of this era. All of the
gauges work. The blower for the heater and a/c works on all speeds.
A/C blows ice cold, as it should with an older japanese car.
Everything works with the exception of the power trunk/boot lid.
There are no "check engine" or other warning lights that stay on.
Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is to drive
this car.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 1999 Lexus SC400 is in amazing condition. The low
miles, the beautiful color combination, and the excellent overall
condition make this car especially important and hard to duplicate.
It is very hard to find a Lexus SC from this era that is still in
great original condition as most were used and abused. This Lexus
always gets a ton of attention anywhere you go, rarely do you see
one in this condition. It is apparent that the vehicle has been
well taken care of by its previous owners. The prices of Lexus SCs
have increased considerably over the past several years. They are
secure and wise investments for a collector. Cars like this are the
Barrett Jackson stars of the future. One could easily enjoy this
vehicle for several years and sell it for more than the purchase
price with minimal effort.
Thank you for looking and please do not hesitate to email or call
