1993 Lexus SC400 review from North America
"Excellent, excellent, excellent"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced steering pump at 97,000 miles.
Replaced alternator at 97,000 miles.
Replaced Nakamichi radio transformer and speakers at 85,000 miles.
Traction control light comes on sometime, no apparent reason.
Replaced dash lights at 70,000 miles.
General comments?
This car has all the quality they said it has. I runs like the fine tuned machine it is.
It is high torqued at 3,000 revolutions per minute.
Interior and body are excellent.
Very little wear on the driver's seat.
I replaced the front mask and parking lights with 2000 model parts and added the Lexus ground effect all over. The only exterior part that looks like a 1993 is the rear spoiler. Buy one and fix it up, should go another 150,000 miles.
