It's not really 'Craigslist Gold', but an '89 Camry with a V6 and a manual transmission is a rare beast, indeed. I was REALLY REALLY tempted to buy it, but I already have two vehicles.

Within the last year has: rebuilt engine (new block and head) a new starter, alternator, battery, tires, oxygen sensors and back cylinder brakes. Has a crack in the dash and tear on the side of bench seat. AC cools but has a leak somewhere. Manual windows. Automatic. Also has street glo and a 400.00 7 inch plasma touch screen cd/dvd player.

1996 Lexus SC300 - $14500
Reply to: sale-609662062@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-03-17, 9:18PM EDT

Up for sale is a 1996 Lexus SC 300 5 Speed. The exterior is white diamond pearl and the interior is tan. This car is completely original and is in pristine collector car condition with only 52K miles. In an effort to streamline my life in tandem with the increased demands for my time, it is time to let it go to a good home. This particular car was a special order and was a gift for my high school graduation. I believe there were only 212 made and I am for certain that 1997 was the last year of the 5 Speed. The fluids were changed a few years back along with a battery and a new set of Good Year tires. The only thing that I am aware of that does not work is the CD changer in the trunk. The silly thing never worked since day one and I never went back to have it looked at, as I never had a need to use it. If your intentions are to buy the car and operate it in a manner that I would deem inappropriate, please do not bother to inquire within. This is a special car and will be sold to someone who appreciates this vehicle for the mastery of art that it truly is. Thank you for your interest.
