94 SC400 Question
I am really wanting to buy this 94 SC400. It's got 115,000 miles and has been well maintained. The owner is asking $7000 for it.
The owner told me the power steering has been making some noise the past month and that it has effected the steering a bit.
I'm thinking of asking the owner to fix the power steering problem before I buy it. (does anyone have a part # for the power steering pump?)
The owner is my brother and I have ridden in the car before. It was awesome. Everything seemed to work. I was a little bumed to find out how expensive it would be to add a stereo that would have an auxillary input but I can worry about that later.
Is there anything paticular about the 94 SC to look out for in terms of known problems?
I don't want to buy this car if it means that I will have to shell out lots of money for repairs. I guess I have this idea (possibly a fantasy if mine) that because it's a Lexus and Lexus is made by toyota that it will need minimal repairs and will go over 200,000 miles.
Any input on this would be very helpful.

Sounds like a fair price for the car to me, low miles. I think you are right about lasting a long time, but all cars of this age will need some repair. If he hasnt done a timing belt replacment, Id ask him for the price of the timing belt job, then have the p.s. pump done while its already in the shop.
