The Lexus SC300 Base for 2000
The restyled SC300 Base is equipped with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The engine is mated to a Toyota four-speed transmission. This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 1999 version.
The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The SC300 uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. Load balancing is provided by coil front springs and coil in the rear.
Statistics
The SC300 is 190.20 inches long, 70.50 inches wide, and 54.90 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 105.10 inches. It is able to seat 5 comfortably.
The standard warranty period for the SC300 is 48 months, or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the coupe market.
The listed retail price in 2000 (MSRP) was $31,505, with a dealer invoice cost of $27,365. This price is in line with the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 2000 SC300 is a MPI design, using gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is controlled by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The fuel capacity of the fuel tank is 18.50 gallons.
The SC300 Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of nineteen in-city driving and twenty six when it came to highway driving. Being a gas-powered non-hybrid car, this was within normal parameters.
Parting Shots
The 2000 model year was very successful for the Lexus SC300. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Base version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.
