BaT Auction: 28k-Mile 1999 Lexus SC400

This 1999 Lexus SC400 shows 28k miles and remained registered to its original owner in Tennessee before being recently acquired by the seller. The car is finished in Golden Pearl over an Ivory leather interior, and power is provided by a 4.0-liter V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, a factory cassette stereo linked with a trunk-mounted CD changer, and a rear spoiler. This SC400 is now offered with factory literature, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Tennessee title in the seller’s name.

The exterior is finished in Golden Pearl and features a power-operated sunroof, a rear spoiler, and fog lights. The bumpers were refinished during current ownership, and photos in the gallery below show touched-up blemishes around the body.

Factory 16″ alloy wheels are wrapped in Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 tires, and the car is equipped with anti-lock brakes.

The seating surfaces are upholstered in Ivory leather with bird’s eye maple trim accenting the matching dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include power-adjustable front seats, automatic climate control, and a cassette stereo linked with a trunk-mounted CD changer. Wear on the driver’s outer seat bolster is visible in the photo gallery below.

A three-spoke airbag steering wheel frames an 8k-rpm tachometer and a 160-mph speedometer. The digital odometer indicates approximately 28k miles, only 200 of which were added by the seller.

The 4.0-liter 1UZ-FE V8 is equipped with VVT-i variable valve timing and was factory-rated at 290 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque, which is delivered to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission. An oil change was performed in April 2018 at approximately 26k miles.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and displays history in Tennessee through its most recent entry in November 2020.
