New to the Lexus scene, possible SC owner
Well as the title says, I am interested in the SC platform, but also am looking at the GS platform (2nd gen). I know they are totally different cars, but in the SC platform what are the favored years, and why? 300 or 400?
Thanks i advance guys!
Thanks i advance guys!

Alright I think it is pretty much narrowed it down, 97 SC400 137XXX miles
Here's the questions...
What are the common probelms I need to look for?
What are the things that need to be replaced at that mileage?
And feel free to add whatever it is that I need to be looking out for. Thanks Guys!
Oh yea and for those that always say "use search and/ or google" I did thats the only reason I have this thread. BUT feel free to link me since some of you are steeler searchers...!

Look for leaking power steering. Make sure it starts up really easily.
Check the belts, and drive it at high speeds to check for wobbles, and noises.
Also check the drivers side door to make sure it seats properly. Should be fine on a 97.
Make sure the A/C works good, and check the needles/dash for good operation at night... Hmmmm... Check for oil leaks from engine, and diff leaks... Body damage, repainting... VIN check for wreaks...
