Picture of 1993 Lexus SC This was the second model year of the SC 300, the new Lexus luxury sports coupe. Little was changed for 1993, as passenger-side airbags and an automatic headlamp system were the only additions. The SC embodied the Japanese auto manufacturer's effort to build LS luxury into a road-hugging sports car, and it was starting to turn heads among BMW B3 and Mercedes SL shoppers. The SC 300 had a rather powerful straight-six engine, with 225 horses that pulled the 3494 pound coupe from 0 to 60 in just under seven seconds. Although the SC 300 had a compact construction, even taller drivers found it plenty spacious. The 2+2 body contained an interior which could seat four adults, but it was not a backseat for long trips. Many drivers comment that the 5-speed manual version offers the most authentic grand touring experience. These older SC 300s testify to the reliability of Lexus. Today, many drivers report that their SCs (some bought as certified pre-owned) are still running strong as they reach 100, 150, 200k milestones. Common parts replacements and problems are head gaskets and seals. Some mention replacing the starter. Drivers who have kept up on the standard maintenance schedule (60 and 90k are significant) rarely report any significant problems.

I have the 1jzgte swap in there with a t67 turbo. Overall the car is amazing. Gas mileage is horrible, but it is making 400 whp. It's heavy but still is a blast to drive and smokes anyone on the highway. Sleeper forever. No repairs needed except for interior pieces that are cracking. It really is the luxury supra.

I bought my sc300 a week ago for under 5k, with only 140k miles. These cars do have problems, and that happens, on mine the speedo LEDs have failed, the door handle was broken, the passenger window barely rolls up, and the auto trans sticks sometimes shifting out of park. Some of those have been solved now, for a somewhat pricey amount, but beyond all its blemishes, this is the best car Ive ever owned. The 2jz roars just right, it corners tightish, the brakes are firm. You point it where you want it to go and she flies. This car is everything Ive dreamed of and more. I cannot recommend it more.

I own a 1993 Lexus SC400 and it is superb. Quality construction, great sports car feel, reliable and great ride. I have invested money in replacing parts that wear out rather than buy a new car. It is more cost effective, knowing this car will function at the highest level with proper maintenance. The transmission and engine run indefinitely with proper oil change maintenance. It is a pleasure to own. Has 305000 miles on my vehicle.

Everyone who knows me knows I love this car. Acceleration is quick and with the coilovers and sway bars it handles like it's on rails. Has a few interior squeaks and things need repair, but it is 15 years old and any car will with that long of a life. With almost 200k miles, it will still last another 100k - 200k miles with the right maintenance. Some chasis parts are interchangeable with the 93+ Toyota Supra.

I bought this car off of E Bay Auto's because of the area I lived. You simply could not find one. Additionally, I wanted a car driven in the south secondary to salt/rust ratio. Well, when I got it: buyer beware. It had been in a front end collision, and repaired cosmetically. I "invested" about 2000.00 replacing the water heater, timing belt etc. It had about 100,000 miles. Got it back from the backyard repair man and I have placed 35,000 more miles with only simple maintenance. I placed higher grade brake pads and new tires. Now, I was a Corvette owner (c4-c5) models and found them to be fast and the last one a 99, was an absolute perfect piece of speed and great handling. The Lexus 400 SC is not that, it is a work of art body wise, with a beautiful but typical Lexus interior that has held up well. Space is at a premium however and only one cup holder! Everything works well, except for the CD 12 disk unit. This auto has held up with my relatively hard driving extremely well. If you get a chance to buy one (less than 500 were imported to the US in 93) do so. You will enjoy it, have to do some amount of work no doubt, but no one on the road will have one. And yes, the stereo is great.
