FIRST CAR and its a sc400!!!!
Just bought my first and its a sc400
got it from a dealer for 4500 with 135k miles one owner since 93. really clean outside has a couple scratches rock chips, but it looks really good. Love driving it, i have no clue what should i do with the car first, because im on low budget. But i think the tints gotta go.

Congrats, welcome to CL.
Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance...Always good to have a fully functioning, sound canvas to work on. Once that's done, a set of wheels and a drop couldn't hurt.

For winter I'm just going to keep it stock, except the regular new touch screen inside, new tints and maybe order exhaust during the winter with an intake. But today at a gas station old owner of a white sc told me i should swap it

Looks great. Here is a list of things to look out for.
1. Gauge needles. They tend to go out.
2. Temp LCD screen. They also go out.
3. Rear view mirror dimer. It might go out.
4. The carrier bearing on the drive shaft.
5. The trans. Don't worry too much. You can swap a LS trans if your short on cash.
6. The starter. It's located under the intake manifold. Because of where it is it creates alot of heat. Heats bad for them. Aslo it's a 6 hour job.
7. Door hinges. The doors are heavy so over time they can sag.
8. Subwoofer. It's located on the rear dash. It's from the 90's. Of course it will go bad.
8. Subwoofer amp. Same as the sub.
10. Brakes. Upgrade to ls400 brakes. They are bigger.
That's all I can think of. The reason why I know about these things is because I've done most of them. Good luck.
