Just bought a 99 SC300 less than a month ago w/83000miles for a dependable daily use and getting more problems as weeks pass....

2-3 weeks after I bought the car: found out heat and rear defogger don't work
Tried fixing the heater but gave up on it after checking fuses and cleaning the VSV valve.

Now: the ABS light is on... washed the car and found a puddle of water on the passenger side on the floor mat.

Just wondering if anyone has an idea on how much I'm going to spend to get this stuff fixed? Any recommendations in shops to go to?

Wanted to get some stuff done on my turbo SC but i need my main transportation in at least good working condition, so project turbo SC will be have to be on a hold.... Sadly, thought the 99 was in better condition than my 92 1j SC.

Mainly just want to get the ABS, heat, and defogger fixed.

 

I can help you with the diagnosis...come by World Toyota and ask for Daniel in Service, I can at least get you a free accurate diagnosis of your issues...

 

I heard this weekend talking with the guys from Zen, that they just got a master tech from Lexus. I'd give them a holler.

 

You should take it to zen motors and yes tori will be working there who is really good with toyota/lexus

 

Sucks that I'm located middle of no where Middle Georgia in Warner Robins, only if i was located a little closer but appreciate for the help.

ZenMotors is the shop i go to for my Turbo SC.

Having a master tech from Lexus makes them even more greater.

Sucks that its a distance away, guess I'll shoot Dan a PM. I was planning in dropping my Turbo SC to have my transmission worked on/rebuilt along with couple more things.

Would be weird having them work on my Daily since its stock and looks like crap.

 

Dan actually reffered me to Tori when he used to work at Lexus up in Gwnntt plce mall..Tori is a great addition @ Zen Motors. Good Luck TRDmike..

 

^^ Torrey is awesome... and he is a senior master tech from toyota and lexus.

 

Yo Dan its me Rey wit 92 Sc4 1jz..

 

Forgot to state my ABS works now... didn't work yesterday for some reason.
