hello sc300 owner
I am planning to buy an sc300 myself, and was wondering what is the life span on the sc300 and how much problem have you encounter with it.....auto and manual transmision

 

Wow, are you talking to me....I feel so special!!!!

I think you'll find both 300's and 400's are pretty equal on the reliability scale. I have a 300 I love it!!!
But if I find a 99' or 00' SC400 with decent miles I may trade up!!

You can't go wrong with either one...Do try for a 97 or newer...If you find one that's nice and "Stick" buy it!!! Before these "animals" on this site get to it!!!

 

 

thanks for the reply neuro, but i was wondering could this car actually make a cross country driving and how much "MAJOR" maintance have you done with it i.e transmission, clutch, suspension

 

This car will eat cross country road trips for breakfast, and still have room for brunch, lunch, an afternoon snack, dinner and dessert. Just make sure you do a full tune-up before you go, spark plugs, cap, rotor, oil change, and fluids.

 

I have a '92, with 165k miles on it, and it does me wonders so far. I haven't had it long, but it's a very nice drive, and if I could get the misses to stop driving so agressively, it wouldn't be to bad on gas either. >.>

 

hey thanks for replying another question is what is the last "major" fix on ur sc300 or sc400 i'm trying to figure out how long the transmission will last on these thing, i'm looking for a manual but it pretty rare to get an sc300 let alone a manual one.

 

Gas millage is my only problem so far, especially with gas prices how they are right now and proablly going to stay. Realibity wise I think the car is pretty solid.

 

yea is there anyway to increase your MPG? i know there the intake that help a little right? is there any other way?
