1992 Lexus SC400 review from North America
"Love the car, fast but expensive upkeep, engine can't be killed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New drive shaft at 210000.
Alterator went.
New plugs coils caps; the car was smoking and misfiring.
Seats are very badly worn out.
Rear end went.
General comments?
Car handles great and is quick. Air intake and mufflers make a big difference to the car.
Comfortable, but low gas mileage is not very good at all.
Great car if you have the money to take care of it; engine lasts forever.
