Bought my 1998 SC300 new in 1998.....now have 91,000 miles on it. Aside from the normal oil/filter, tires and battery it has had only one repair a new starter. Runs like the day it came home from the showroom. Looking to get at least 200K out of it.

92 with 68K
I bought it in March with 54K-
Aside from burned out bulbs and dead needles the only other weird thing is my tranny mount getting a little weak, and the driver's seat rocks very slightly.
Otherwise, no leaks no issues. It was owned by an old lady who couldn't drive. I spent time and cash sorting out the body but it's flawless now.

Close to 79K on my '95 SC400. When I first got it I drove it like I stole it but now I baby it so much. The only problems I've been having was the engine noise and the 1/4" part of the needles are burned. Sometimes they're fine. They look normal if I dim the cluster. The leather is showing some signs of wear. The back seat tore at the seam somehow. I think from the sub and everyhting else is fine. Oh and 2 accidents, none of which I did. Other than that its practically perfect. Never gives me problems or anything. Well it does jerk a lil bit at slow speeds but I read thats pretty normal. Anyways I'm in luv with this car. My mom and dad want me to sell it but I'd never part with it. Its too good of a car to sell. My next car will have to be another SC400.

I've only heard of one other trans that went belly up. I thought these trans lasted to 600K+ miles?
I've got 291K miles on mine now.
