SC300\400 Purchase Questions

Hello All,
First time posting here. I am currently looking at a Lexus Certified Pre-Owned 99 SC300 with 49000 miles on it for 23000. originally I wanted a SC400. Is the performance difference that huge? I am willing ot modify exhaust and intake on the 300 but thats about it so I don't foresee any huge power modifications.
Also, how good are these cars in the winter. I'm in NY and have heard some bad things about SC's in the snow even with All Seasons on them? Anything I should keep in minf or look out for in a 99 SC300? Thanks for any advice. Look forward to joining your community.

not sure about pricing and stuff, but here in austin my sc400 has to be handled carefully when it rains... my previous car was fwd, so driving it was relatively easy, whereas the sc4 is rwd, so if you arent careful you can have some "rwd experiences"
