The SCx00 badges are *very* misleading.
Let me state this:
1. Lexus does not exist in Japan.
2. All Lexus branded vehicles appear under the Toyota name in Japan.
3. Soarers badged Lexus SCx00 have all been rebadged. (Except SC430, which can be bought in Australia from Lexus)
To further add to confusion, when people rebadge Soarers, they usuall put on SC400 badges regardless of engine, in the rarer case, they will actually put SC300 onto a 3.0 Litre Soarer.
There is also no SC250 model. Most 2.5TT are rebadged to a SC400.
TT's that haven't been rebadged have either 2.5GT-T or 2.5GT-TL on the front quarter panel, Toyota badges front & rear, and Soarer in the right corner of the boot.
If you change the rear lights, there is virtually no way you can tell it is an older model until you lift the bonnet and start reading (apart from 1996+ having a different bar).
The best way to judge one is to really have a good look at the car. I wouldn't trust 95% of the odometer readings. 30,000km on a 10 year old car sounds pretty dodgy to me. Look for the usual items like repainted panels, alignment of panels etc.
TV's don't work, but you won't get one in a TT, so don't worry about it. Radios can be converted using a frequency shifter from Jaycar, and aren't very expensive. ~$50 from memory.
Keep the questions coming... I studied Soarers for 5 months before owning one. I've now had one for 12 months and love it!
