Simply Great

I bought a 1992 in 1995 with 100K Miles on it. Let me tell you, there is not a more solid sports car out there. Since then, I have owned a 2nd and 3rd gen GS, and two w221 S-classes. My dad had a 1st and 3rd gen LS. Both the SC and the 2nd gen GS were wonderful cars, solid, very little probs (I drive 9-11K per year). The SC is in a league of its own as far as looks are concerned. The only car that holds a candle to this in the "regular" segment is the original Jag XK. I haven't seen that many SCs lately, but seeing them for sale, brings it all back. Wonderful power (even in the 250 hp version), great driving dynamics. For a coupe, this is one of the best produced. I upgraded the stereo as I didn't have the Nak system and upgraded to the 5-spoke chromes (a must!). I would spend the extra to get a 1998+ as you get a better engine and trans.

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.

Incredible Car

This has to be one of the best cars that I have ever driven, I would recommened this car to anyone intrested in a high-end luxury sports compact. This car would go great in the sports compact scene as a racer and has a massive power and style advantage over its competition.

Best all around

Bought this one in 1992 with 3k on it, today I have 237,500 on it. Best car I've ever driven on a daily basis. Thought of selling it, bought the LS400, sold it, bought the BMW 850Ci, sold it, bought the Q45, sold it and kept on driving the SC400. A very fun, solid, performance sports car with an interior built around the driver, it's hard not to enjoy.
