I was looking for a used vehicle to commute 40 miles one way and this car has been very reliable . I've has this vehicle for a year with no serious problems. I now have 158k an still runs like a champ. It's a very fun car to drive with great horse power. if you run across someone selling a sc400,research and go for it!

'93 SC400 Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

1993 Lexus SC 400 2dr Coupe
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.

1992 Lexus SC 400 2dr Coupe
Bought w/slightly over 100K mi, now at
204K. Only maint done plugs &
wires, 2 sets brake pads, tires,
alternator. All wear items except
alt. Car runs like new.
Drove friend who owns a new, Pontiac
Grand Prix GTP. He couldn't believe
that my car 10yr old car was more
quiet, comfortable & rattle-free than
his new car. Couldn't believe
handling & acceleration … either. This
car is supremely capable @ 80mph+,
which is important when you put on 50K
mi/yr. Bought car for $9K 2-1/2
yrs ago. Aside from my Kawasaki cycle
and my 4wdTurbo Celica it's the
best money I've spent. Highly
recommend this vehicle. As
close to bulletproof as it gets.

My 19 year old SC400...WOW!!!

I recently picked up a 92 SC400 w/88K miles.
It needs some work, but it is still a blast to drive.
The engine and transmission are solid and nobody believes the car is 19 years old.
The quality and design of this car were decades ahead of its time.
I look forward to fixing it up and using it as a weekend cruiser.
Pick one up if you can, there is a reason they are ranked as one of the … Top 10 cars of all time on many lists.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 1993 Lexus SC 400, so we've included reviews for other years of the SC 400 since its last redesign.
