2000 Lexus SC400

This 2000 Lexus SC400 is finished in Pearl White over a tan leather interior and is powered by a 4.0L V8 paired to a 5-speed automatic transmission. The car was sold new in San Jose, California, where it remained until being relocated to New Jersey in 2015, where it has resided since.  Equipment includes 16” chrome wheels, a power moonroof, and a Nakamichi sound system.  Located in Wenonah, New Jersey, this SC400 is now offered with a CARFAX report and sold on a clean New Jersey title in the seller’s name. 

The car is finished White Pearl Tri-Coat and retains the majority of its original paint, though CARFAX reports an accident at the right rear in 2009, per the seller, the damage was minor.  The car has always been garage kept and shows no signs of corrosion. The front bumper is equipped with integrated fog lamps and turn signals, while a spoiler with LED 3rd brake light is mounted on the trunk.  Additional equipment includes dual power outside mirrors, daytime running lamps, a power sunroof, and dual exhaust with polished tips. 

Factory 16” five-spoke chrome wheels are mounted to new Michelin Pilot HX tires measuring 225/55 on all four corners. A full-size matching spare is housed in the trunk along with the original jack and tools.  Standard handling equipment on the SC400 included a four-wheel independent suspension, four-wheel anti-lock brakes, and speed-sensitive steering. 

The interior is fitted with bucket seats in tan leather, while the door panels, center console, and lower dash are upholstered to match.  Woodgrain trim accents the dash and door panels, and the front seats are power-adjustable, though the seat memory function is currently inoperable.  Additional features include automatic climate control, power convenience options, wood & leather shift knob within a gated surround, and auto-down driver’s window.  The car also has a Nakamichi AM/FM/CD premium sound system. 

Instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer and an 8k-rpm tachometer, along with gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level.  A digital trip meter and exterior thermometer reside within the cluster.  The digital odometer reads 63k miles, which are original to the vehicle. 

The 1UZ-FE 4.0-liter V8 is original to the car and was factory rated at 290 horsepower.  Maintenance includes replacing the timing belt, water pump, valve cover gaskets, and tires performed in 2015, while CARFAX shows that Lexus of Cherry Hill serviced the car at 61k miles in February 2018.  Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 5-speed automatic transmission with a console-mounted shift lever.

The sale includes an owner’s manual in its original leather portfolio.
