I bought one of the first ones to come to Southern California in 1991. I have driven it hard and it has never complained. The engine is still great and the transmission is smooth. My quibble with the interior is the leather, which Lexus decided to paint as opposed to dye. Another 42k miles and I will have hit 250K.
Great Car!

This car has been great to me! This car has been my fourth sports car and has been the most reliable. I haven't had any major problems and I now have 189,000 miles. I will not sell and will purchase another Lexus.
smartest purchase I ever made

Even though this automobile was seven years old when I purchased it, this car is a dream. Only routine maintenance for the first five years and then a few predictable problems that can be attributed to age. While friends are trading in their cars every three years, I'm still in love with mine. I think I'll keep her a while longer.
Great car but require lots of work

I bought this car in 2002 used with 98000 miles, it has 127000 miles now after about 5000 dollars of work. I have replaced the radiator, rotators, power steering pump and rack and pinion, water pump, passenger window regulator, and rear breaks. I still love this car but I think it breaks down too much. When it is not breaking down, it runs great and for a 12 year old car the exterior and interior still looks awesome. I would recommand this vehicle only if you have enough money to fix it, otherwise buy a new car or new lexus.
Excellent Built Car I have ever owned

I have a quite few different cars including my 2003 ML M.Benz but this 1992 SC 400 is the best car I have ever had. 2 years ago I was looking for a nice car and was hesitant to purchase it due to its age, but I went ahead and bought it anyway. I am glad I did. Even though it is now 15 years old car, it drives like a brand new car and in fact it drives smoother than my new Benz. I took it for emissions test and it passed without any hesitation. Only thing that I have to take care of is to have it repainted to keep her longer. Sometime in future, I will probably trade in my Benz for a 330 Lexus. Lexus builds not only great but excellent cars.
I Love My Lexus SC 400

I bought a 1992 SC 400 two and a half years ago (3/05) with 166,000 miles. I paid about $5,500. My car now has 186,000 miles and has been very reliable. I put Bridgestone tires on car when first bought and it handles great!! Very good on gas on highway for a car weighing 3800 pounds (about 27 MPG). If you are considering this car, drive a clean, well-taken-care-of car and see if you like. These cars can go over 300,000 miles with no tranny or motor work if maintained and not abused. This car has been great!!
great car, under 100,000 miles that is

This car is WONDERFUL! head turner everywhere you go, ladies are all over it, very quick, very responsive handling, waaaay to comfortable interior, very good handling at 100+ mph. Only problems are: HORRIBLE gas milage (especially for a 4.0 Liter engine), and parts are very very expensive. It also started to fall appart after 100,000 miles.
Awesome Car!

208k and still running great. This car is by far the best purchase I've made. I plan on taking it to 350,000.

Bought my 1992 SC400 about 10 years ago from the original owner. Since then I have lowered the car, put on 18" wheels and tires, cross drilled brakes, an Injen air intake, replaced the suspension bushings with Delron and an axle back exhaust system. Okay so I am performance minded. I've owned a variety of sports/GT cars over the years and my biggest complaint is that 50% of the time when I'm getting into the car in a parking lot someone will stop me to tell me what a fantastic looking car I have. And I feel the same. Unless I was going to spend 10 times what my car is worth I don't feel I could match it for performance, reliability and fantastic looks. I have a couple of favorite curves/on ramps and this car easily will take them at 5+mph faster than any other car I've owned before although they all had had suspension and wheel and tire upgrades. Other than the performance upgrades I have spent a pittance on anything other than regular maintenance. Only minor wish would be another 100 or so horsepower although while not the fastest from a standstill, this car has all the power needed once rolling. Without a doubt best car I've ever owned.

I bought my mother's Lexus 400SC with only 55,000 miles on it. Paid top dollar only to find it will not hold a charge. This is my third battery in two years. Its been in the shop three times. No one can find the drain on the battery. I love driving it, but it's been the most unreliable car I've ever owned. Sorry I bought it.

My 93 SC 400 is the best car I have ever owned . It's a nice cross between a BMW cruiser and a Corvette . Power when you need it , all the comfort you deserve . Keep the maintenance up to date, it'll never let you down. I'll drive it until it can't be driven anymore, then I'll find another one . BEST SPORTS / GT car EVER !

The parts for this vehicle are extremely expensive(A gear is stripped in the passenger seat = $1000). This vehicle is fun to drive but could handle better. I like the interior design but the quality of the interior accessories is rather poor.
