I've had amazing success with Lexus and premium Toyota products. Our IS300 has 110,000 miles on it with never a worry, my 1998 GS400 has 120,000 miles on it with never a worry, and my fire breathing 500 RWHP Toyota Supra has 133,000 miles on it with never a problem. I suppose I could include my 160,000 mile Toyota Echo too. Toyotas are just bullet proof. Which leads me to the reason for this post....

I'm starting to see some pretty good (great?) prices on SC430s with 100,000 miles or so. The SC has consistently been one of the most reliable cars in reliability studies, and my previous amazing Lexus history leads me to believe that a high mileage SC430 should be just as bullet proof as my previous cars.

Apart from the usual 100K timing chain/water pump service, what other things should I keep my eyes peeled for? I think I'm going to take the plunge and snap one of these up.

Whaddya think??

I've been watching SC auctions on EBAY for over a year, anytime you can find a clean one for 15k that has 95-105 on the odometer, it's a good deal. Check the CARFAX and service history out. I've owned five lexus cars, all bullet proof. I've also watched nice 2002 SC's with 75,000miles go for 17k, there's always good deals out there, especiallly with the no reserve auctions. Good Luck

I have 140K on my SC (02 model) and it runs perfectly.
