Default 1992 sc300 a good car?

Im actually test driving a friends sc300 in a few days and im still considering buying it but a lot of online reviews give it low scores. Is the car decent in handling and comfort? The car im pickin up got under 60k original mileage and im getting a great deal.. under 5k for it. If anyone has any feedback on a 92 sc300 it would be appreciated.

I love my 92. Got it bone stock with 73k original miles, and no major issues yet, and shooting for higher numbers as we speak..

Your asking if a SC300 is a good car in a SC300/400 forum which consists of many enthusiasts that believe their SC is most sexy thing ever. You serious?

JK, I wouldn't lean heavily towards review IMO. Everyone has their own opinions and quite frankly any car can be bad/good.

Get in a car, drive it and if you like, buy it.

Truth be told, 92 SC300..."it's always something, but it's always worth it"...don't know who to quote on that but it's accurate IMO.

I would say the handling is better than any other car I've driven, but I've never driven a Mercedes, BMW, or any other sports car though. Definitely buy it if it has under 100,000 miles and looks clean.

Only problem I see is that it has to be repainted and the car is an auto which may be hard to resell.
