I found this gem of a Craigslist posting today: 1996 Lexus SC 400 - $800
Quote
This car is phenomenal, just not in phenomenal shape. No joke... it's $800 worth of car. This [censored]'s garbage. At least it has a V8.
This baby's sporting Lexus's "tiger ripped" seats. Not sure the production numbers on this option, but reports are that it's EXTREMELY rare. Exterior paint was a majestic green, some still is. Got a mean V8 under the hood.
I had plans to nail down a wooden wing at the rear, but it was out of our budget. I'm sure it's still feasible if you wanted to do it.
This car was at one point Sewell maintained, as you can see from the badge.
I spent 3 hours restoring the headlights, just to realize nothing will save this car and it's V8. That is precisely when I decided to gently caress parts of this car with my ax, as seen in the photos.
Rear left wheel was stolen by a thief with good taste, so the spare is on.
The inside passenger door handle snapped off, but thankfully the sunroof works, so your passenger will still be able to get in and out. Oh, it's a V8.
Fuel tank is currently full of octane booster, probably running at about 200 octane right now.
Would blow A/C cold as the arctic circle, if any of the accessories worked. All the electronics were cut in preparation of Y2K.
Right now the car "runs", but it's pretty rough. Got a V8 Motor.
Custom exhaust, no pipes from the headers back. Sounds like a dragster.
Transmission WORKS surprisingly
Somewhere near 260,000 fun-filled miles. Doesn't get MPG, but instead Smiles Per Gallon. Did I mention it has a V8.
Don't misunderstand me, it's cool, it's just a piece of crap.

Does [blank] work: nope

This car will definitely let you down, but then again, what won't?
If you've ever dreamed of owning a vehicle that won't pass inspection, doesn't have A/C, doesn't have power steering, leaks oil, and is from JAPAN, this is your chance!
Oh, also, it's a V8.
