Bought it in 12/2004 with 56,000 miles on it. I have enjoyed it tremendously. Great road car, holds the road and provides 18-22 MPG. Back seat is a little tight for adults and trunk could be bigger. Have replaced water pump, oil pump and other regular maintenance items. Leather drivers seat is beginning to show wear but to be expected. Gets up and goes when you mash the accelerator. 12 CD player has been trouble - replaced with Lexus 6 CD player. Low to the ground so clearance is concern. Front spoiler below bumper is easy to get scrapped and dented. A/C and heater are great. All in all; I have enjoyed driving and owning the SC400.

Great car, pick a gently used for a great choice. I have driven other cars with spice - my sc400 has over a 10 year period been - hands down - the best car that i have ever owned. In 1999 i purchase my certified car for $25,000 when it had ~35,000 miles on it - it now has 125,000 miles on it. The few repairs were: antenna motor, driver's door window motor, starter, alternator, power steering pump and then brakes, tires, & regular tune-up stuff - since i owned the car my average service costs to keep the car in very good running condition has been $81.00 per month - a blend of dealer work (starter / 60K service) and private mechanic. 17 years old and it still kicks. Timeless lines.

I needed to purchase a reliable car after I got rid of my saab.That was a disaster.I also purchased that used and it was a money pit! This is truly a beautiful car.It rides like a dream but I expected nothing less.I am currently the third owner of my vehicle.Anyone that is buying used I suggest that you do a car fax report.The previous owner kept the car spotless.It has a fresh paint job and the interior is great.I cannot say enough about it.
There's No Finer Used Car Than SC400

I would never bother spending the time or money on an SC300 (not that there's anything wrong w/them...it's just that the SC400 is all that should matter). The additional power and performance of the V8 alone is worth every consideration. I have never in all my life owned a finer used vehicle that the 1993 SC400 and I've had many fine used cars (I've never owned a car over $15k until the brand new '99 Jeep Wrangler 4.0L Sport that I had 10mos before trading it in for this car, the SC400).
Classic Style - Awesome Quality

I bought my SC400 in 1996 when it was 3 years old. It now has 164k miles and still going strong. I can't say enough about its style--which is still a head- turner 13 years after its production and its performance--which has been outstanding in the 10 years I've owned it. This one's a keeper and soon to be a classic !! Why doesn't Lexus make them anymore? Their new sport coupe design is small and has limited interior/trunk space.
this a good buy

This is a very well built car. My Lexus has over 100000 miles on it but drives like new. It has power, gets great gas mileage (especially for an eight cylinder engine), has been trouble free, and turns heads. The only thing is that the wood in the interior doesn't quite look right.

How many carmakers can provide a car that will give years of trouble-free use when they already have 145,000 miles? Not that many. SC400/300 are over-engineered, they're almost an industrial strength car, so to speak. If it weren't for the tach needle trembling at 600rpms, you wouldn't know it was running. The leather still looks new (if treated occasionallyafter 100,000 miles. The transmissions, exterior/interior integrity, and elec. features still perform flawlessly after 10 years. Look for one with service history. If you take a VIN # to your local dealership they'll tell you it's service history.
great car

I picked mine up 4 years ago at 125K and can only say wonderful things about it right up to now at 175K. However, things are starting to show their age: weak trunk struts ($200), A.C. compressor seals ($1200 - ouch!), tranny is "humming" a little (shame on me for never changing the fluid), driver side window motor ($425), fried rear speakers ($100), antenna motor ($50). But I would expect a lot more to go wrong with almost any other make at this mileage. The car is still like silk. Still one of the best looking right up there with the Jag XK, which I'm thinking of getting, but I just can't beat getting another one of these. I drove a '98 Lincoln Mark VIII and it doesn't even compare.
Review of this car is much like a first date:

Can't say exactly: Ya have to love what ya see but ya need to go with what ya know...I have only owned this car since 5/14/18. I'm 76 years old and have been into cars all my life. If anything is self evident with this car, it's obvious that it is very well built. There was allot of time and effort put into the design. The door hinges on 2 dr cars were always to "wimpy" for the length and weight of the doors. The hinges on the Lexus SC 400 look as though the belong on a bank vault...The body seams/gaps fit very well. The car is a 1993 vintage with 112,700 miles on it and is like new inside and out. The paint on the car reminds me of the paint we used on aircraft in that it is more like an epoxy bond. The engine is extremely responsive and the brakes work well. The car corners nice and flat without riding like an Army "Duce and a Half" truck.

I recently purchased my 93 Lexus SC400 (96k miles) a little over 5 months ago and we have been inseparable ever since. The car design is absolutely beautiful, sleek, and sexy. Although She’s 9years old my opinion there is very few newer luxury sports cars in the market today that can even compare to its beauty, performance and reliability. As old as she is she still turns heads and after 9 years you would thank the initial first impression shock will fade overtime but its beauty is timeless.
Can't beat a Lexus

I own a Lexus Sc400. The car is great. Can't beat the style, high performing V8, great sound system, smooth transmission, and over all luxury. No major problems. I love it. Could not be happier with it. Would recommend one to anyone!
love my sc400

I bought this car in April with 170,000 miles on it to replace my 1989 mazda GT. It runs like new. Its exterior design is beautiful and unique. Not as sporty and quiet as BMW or others, but handles well and very reliable. Powertrain is smooth and quiet. Past 120 MPH it is very stable (believe me i do it a lot. that's why i'll never buy a car with less than 130 MPH top speed and acts like a waterbed after 70). Luxury features are great. I think it is overpriced when new, but great value as a used car.
the best used car value

OF ALL THE CARS I HAVE OWNED, THIS SC400 IS THE BEST VALUE,QUALITY, FIT AND FINISH, AND TIMELESS DESIGN. I REALLY ENJOY DRIVING HIGH LINE CARS (1987 BMW 325,1990 CORVETTE CPE,1990 300ZX,1994&1988 JAGUAR XJ6). LEXUS SERVICE IS THE BEST I HAVE EXPERIENCED FOR REGULAR MAINTENENCE. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS FINE LEXUS SC 400. I HAVE NO PROBLEM RECOMMENDING THIS CAR TO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR STYLISH DEPENDABILITY.
The benchmark of all luxo rides!

This is my first Lexus experience, and I have to admit it has been the best purchase I have ever made. I have owned BMW, Mercedes, Cadillac, however the Lexus does not show age even after 12 years. I recommend doing a carfax before you purchase so you better aware of maintenance. Even with 100K, the car drives like new.
Reliable Luxury Sports Coupe

I bought my SC 400 last summer and this has been my best purchase. The sleek design, powerful and very quiet V8 provides plenty of power and decent gas mileage.
Excellent Auto

I currently own a LS400 and a SC400. That in itself should tell you everything. They are comfortable, reliable and always exciting to drive. In my opinion there is no car within $50,000 that can touch these autos, new or used.
great used car buy!

I can't get enough how great this car has *aged* (it hasn't really). The lines are as stylish as if it were new. The one I purchased, from a meticulous previous owner, looks like NEW. So if you maintain a car like this, it can remain vintage new. It has the features of cars built 2 years ago, not more than 10. Lexus was way ahead of the game with the SC400.
Dream car

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 !
