"1995 Lexus SC400 Coupe
""For the competitors, this SC400 coupe amounts to piling on. It's a power play. The coupe is not held back by a need to share parts with the sedan. The coupe is built to do what a coupe should do: be stylish to the eye, be energetic to the touch, be impressive to the Sharper Image set. This amounts to the creation of a new car, and few carmakers are serious enough about the coupe business to go to all that trouble."" Car and Driver, June 1991
For consignment, a 1993 Lexus SC400 coupe with a title verified 56,410 actual miles. Impressed immediately with the paint, we learn from the consignor that this one has had a 2-stage paint correction and 3-year ceramic coating applied. That explains the fathom deep paint.
Exterior
It is Midnight Indigo Pearl that flows over the graceful lines of the sport coupe accented with a few polished Lexus ""L's,"" a logo still relatively fresh to American as the brand was introduced in 1989. They present just enough jewelry when coupled with the brand name and model number on the rear deck accompanied by bold, horizontal tail lights and twin chrome exhaust tips. Clear lenses up front on all lights keep things elegant and front a long nose leading to a sweeping windshield. This is a solid roof example with no sunroof, but it does have a low profile spoiler out, adding some balance to the stunted hind quarters and the lengthy front. 16-inch multi spoke wheels carry 255/55R16 tires for a solid, square stance, helping the car retain its low profile, um, profile! There are a few inclusions in the paint, a number of chips, a scuff or two, and some light chin scrapes. But walk up to the car like a normal person and you likely won't notice these things unless you're looking.
Interior
Opening the doors reveal a wider than average opening and it was designed that way. Those doors are draped in Ivory leather and burlwood trim taking in the black handle, and both doors present well. Tan leather bucket seats offer a comfortable and adequately padded perch for you to drive for hours of fatigue-free enjoyment and other than some light patina creasing on the driver's all seats, including the well proportioned rear 2+2, are in great condition. A taupe steering wheel matches the trim of the center stack as well as the straight shifter, here based in charcoal plastic. The backlit gauges are a hybrid digital and analog arrangement relaying clear and basic information. Components in the center stack are all tactile and pushbutton to include the AM/FM/Cassette radio with CD changer and the A/C panel with digital readouts. Plush tan carpet is below, wood accenting runs the width of the dash, and the headliner is in perfect condition. Thick gray carpet finishes the trunk which presents cleanly and carries the CD changer. Lexus does interiors right and their early cars set the trend.
Drivetrain
The SC400 houses a 250 horsepower 4.0 Liter DOHC V8. It's mated to an A340E 4-speed automatic transmission that routes power to the rear axle with 3.916 gears. The crowded engine bay presents cleanly.
Undercarriage
Clean, dry and rust free is how we find the underside where dual exhaust travels through original equipment including mufflers and resonators. Power disc brakes are on all four wheels and the fully independent suspension includes Macpherson struts front and back.
Drive-Ability
The SC provided a smooth ride, as expected with responsive steering, nice handling, and plenty of power underfoot. Also expected was the performance of the functional items which scored 100 on our checklist. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Thirty years later, this car still looks good, drives good, and is comfortable as you'd expect from Lexus. Toyota, the mothership, was the top rated manufacturer in 1993 and they can thank their Lexus line for some of that. They're still in the top 10 of course and have been ever since! Here's a well preserved, rarely seen SC400 that will be a turnkey purchase for the lucky new owner.
