Talking TOP SCxxx Mileage?

I know these cars are built to last. Lets see who has tried unsucessfully to "run it till the wheels fall off."
Post your milage and year if you think your SC has the most "experience" here.

Thumbs up

I've got a '92 SC400 with 213,025Km.
The engine runs smoothly, the electronics are fine.
The only problem I have is that the leather is showing severe signs of wear.

So far, so good!

Default 93 SC w/147K miles

93 SC400 w/147K miles.
Engine is smooth and powerful.
All my upgrades make it a pretty new car.
The tranny, and electronics are fine.
The only sign of wear is the rust on the calipers.

ok off topic but i'll post it anyway

I was at a used car dealer and they had a 92 SC400 manual with 260k on it!

the funny part is the price: ~$7,000!

yeah right, 7 grand for any car with 260k on it is absurd, they didn't seem to interested in selling it either, but it looked like it was in good condition.

130k miles with 15k of that being tortured with 10 pounds of boost. Still runs like the day I installed it. Oil burns are moderate at 1 QT every 2k miles or so. Plugs come out a nice toasty brown, brakes come out without incident and calipers hold up to 10 yrs of use withoutseizing. No major leaks under hood, only a few interior issues like wind noise leak on sunroof and a backlight bulb on the instrument panel went out. (not the needle thank GOD!). Leather has been reconditioned once and still looks new.

An $11,000 (mods excluded) car that drives like a $40,000 car, IMO.

92SC400 with 208,000 miles. Runs great, no problems whatsoever apart from regular maintenance and the steering wheel pump which was replaced.

Close to 79K on my '95 SC400. When I first got it I drove it like I stole it but now I baby it so much. The only problems I've been having was the engine noise and the 1/4" part of the needles are burned. Sometimes they're fine. They look normal if I dim the cluster. The leather is showing some signs of wear. The back seat tore at the seam somehow. I think from the sub and everyhting else is fine. Oh and 2 accidents, none of which I did. Other than that its practically perfect. Never gives me problems or anything. Well it does jerk a lil bit at slow speeds but I read thats pretty normal. Anyways I'm in luv with this car. My mom and dad want me to sell it but I'd never part with it. Its too good of a car to sell. My next car will have to be another SC400.

That's what I was thinking How, but he was a guest. I think he mistyped and we won't be seeing him again to make sure.
