HI I'm Gary from Melbourne Australia,
I'm pretty new to the soarer side of life, only just got mine a few weeks ago, I'd always wanted one, but could never find a decent one, but i finally found one, almost mint condition. light interior with woodgrain highlights, ocean blue exterior, I'm loving it. :-)

Interesting car... 97 rear lights on a 94 front and rear, and what looks like 97 interior parts. Also that aerial arrangement on the dash is interesting and something I've never seen before.

Dunno, The dealer i got it off said it was an Australian delivered (not import) '94 lexus sc300, it's got lexus badges front and rear, but japanese writing on sun visor, some engine plates and "toyota" on all the windows, engine cover, ect... i've got no idea what the difference is, i read that lexus sc300 wasn't released in Australia. any clues or where i can cross reference the VIN or something?

Gary, firstly a warm welcome to SC, and congrats on having the good taste to wait until the RIGHT car came up.
Sadly too many folks jump in to the first apparently decent one they find, only to be bitten in the arse by expensive repairs down the line.

If you want to post up your chassis number Gary, I'll confirm for you what the car is, and what month/year it was manufactured.

Chassis number, as in: JZZ31-*******

Cheers mate

The dealer either didn't know what he was talking about or blatantly lied to you - the only Lexus SC300 ever made were LHD cars sold to the US market.

Your car is definatly a Jap import as is everyone elses Soarer in Australia!

We have a Soarer meet coming up in mid November if your keen to check out some other cars. Check the Events > Vic section for more info.

Either way he was just making up, so a liar.

Hey Gary, was your alarm pretty straight forward to install or will it take me a while?
Did you go the $60 or $120 alarm?

Cheers, Sean.

I got the $120 one, it was worth it, it's easy to install but time consuming, removing the old immobilizer was the hardest part (mine was a multi-point, black wiring loom one) took me about 2 1/2 hours total.
, one thing I wasn't impressed with is to get automatic power window closer you have to buy a sepperate module! But everything else is really good,
