How recent was the accident? Are you OK? Major/minor? Depends on whether or not the police took the time to write up the report (among other things).

The surprising thing to me is not that you have a 1992 SC300, but the last seven digits - serial 0001041. Yours is among the first thousand SC300s built for sale - ever - and probably was among the first shipment or two. Interesting find.
 
Really?? Creepy.... How did a car from the first shipment end up in Kansas?

Two years ago, I was banged up but I didn't need to go the the hospital. The truck suffered a few thousand in damage, and pretty much owned the passanger side of my truck. The whole thing with the police was a hassle, I got a ticket for something that wasn't my fault and I had to fight it. Ended up winning though.

There's a zillion ways - first, I'd like to see the VIN ran through CarFax to make sure it originated in Kansas. Since Lexus was still a startup brand in 1992, maybe they just randomly distributed SC300s out to dealers when they came across. Or maybe they didn't ship in order. Or maybe Kansas has a very large Lexus dealer worthy of one of the first few SC300s. Lots of possibilities!

My guess would be that menglan bought the car used. Cars get moved from state to state, sometimes. I don't believe it's that uncommon.
 
It's been in my immediate family since 1998. My mom bought (or leased, I can't remember) it from Superior Lexus(a KC dealer) in 1998, and she kept (and babied)it until early 2003, when she sold it to my dad and he then gave it to me after using it as a company car for a while, much to my dismay, as one of his employees put a nasty dent in the side and cracked the driver's side mirror. Oh well, I shouldn't complain, being how I have 2 cars and some kids only dream of even having one.
 
menglan: Even one Lexus SC's sweet, but what's your other car?
 
I bet it's not originally from Kansas. Everyone thought the origin of the VIN I posted was Boulder, Colorado - turns out it's Henderson, Nevada, then Irving, Texas. That does happen constantly - fleet auctions send cars everywhere.

Exactly; the first 1000 or so almost never wind up in the US. It's extremely rare to see a Lexus with a VIN under 1000.

I could do a national serive history check for you, but I might run the risk of losing my job over it.

I don't know if that's right in this case though - I think the US debuted the SC300 wearing a Lexus badge to the world; I don't think other Lexus markets (Europe) got the car until a few years later. Don't hold me to that though.

WAsn't it the Soarer in Japan and the rest of the World?

Yeah, but unlike Acura, Lexus sees application outside of the United States. So Japan got the Toyota Soarer and possibly the Lexus SC as well, and I believe Europe got just the Lexus. BUT only the Lexus VIN begins with JT8, so the Soarer won't be included in the serial numbers.

I'm pretty sure Toyota sold the car, only as Soarer in Japan. I do remember seeing back-imported Lexus LS400 in Japanese magazines though.

Glad you won, but sorry to hear about the car. The most important thing, though, is that you didn't get hurt. 👍
 
Thanks! the 1998 is when My mom bought the car, and the 2003 is when my dad re-titled it after buying it from my mom.

It currently has 168,xxx miles on it.
