Hello,

We need a little assistance locating a rare or semi-limited popular
production car.  The car is a 1999 Lexus SC300 or SC400, and needed
inorder to complete a matching set of company cars.

We are located in central Arkansas, where our local dealerships do not
have any available, nor could we find an individual selling such a
car.

We would like your staff to find a suitable dealer across the US that
can meet the following requirements:

1) Mileage under 80,000;
2) V6 Manual or V8 Automatic (No preference);
3) No past insurance claims for accidents;
4) Clean "carfax" report;
5) Available VIN number for title checking;
6) Under $18,000; $19,000 Max.;
7) Financing NOT needed.;
8) Must accept American Express for payment; Business account
9) Model must be 1997-1999 Lexus SC300/SC400; Peferred 1998-1999
10) Offer car shipping to my region; will pay extra expenses if necessary.;
11) Reputable car dealer/car shipper.;
12) Little-to-no scratches; zero dents;

A) Peferred color; white/black;
B) Peferred interior; black/tan;
C) Peferred option; non-smoking


We can provide company credentials to the dealership for verification
purposes, where we are looking to purchase within 7-10 days.

It would also be great if you found a car that met the requirements on
the internet, that you could call the dealer to verify the
information.

We are willing to provide a generous tip depending on the quality of
offers returned and the overall strength of the leads.

Thank you.

Hello,

The previous comments have not been too much help, where I have
contemplated canceling this question since my desired timeframe has
almost past.

Since I am currently informed that this question is "in the process of
being answered," I would like to share the new information that I have
learned on my own research.

The last model series before this car SC300/SC400 was discontinued,
1999, had numerous improvements over the previous models including
plusher interiors, more options, larger brakes, etc.

This is obviously something that interests me, where I hold the 1999
SC300/SC400 in higher regards than the previous lines.

Thank you and hopefully the next comment/answer will attempt to answer
my question on a more-complete basis.

Dear Sir or Madam:

You can find this information yourself:

1. Locate the VIN grouping numbers for Lexus Model Number Year
etc.Either call the US NA operations or go to a vehicle parts supplier
that groups parts by VIN numbers.
2. Find the VIN that corelates with the applicable vehicle.
3. Search VIN databases for states-find owners. Some states you will
need to pay for this search some you won't.

ergo cognito

Its being auctioned on E-Bay from a Texas wholesale dealer. Currently,
its going for US $9,200.00 (with an unspecified minimum bid which was
