HI all
I just got a black sc300 5 speed with 25,000 miles for $17,500. I thought this was a great deal and thats why I jumped on the sc over the is300 I originally wanted to get. I was wondering with a older car with this few miles on it is there anything paticular I should check that would be a common problem on this car? Also since the engine has such low miles I am considering a turbo in the future. How reliable are the turbos for the sc300 and how much wear do they put on the engine? The other option I have been looking for for this car is a full intake system? Are there any made for it? If so where can I order from and get specs on them?

Thanks
CC Travis

The only major problem that I have heard about is the power steering going out, but i have a 92 SC300 auto w/ 93,000 miles on it and have had no problems. SC300TT could probably help u out w/ the turbo ?????s

Bosstone - Congrats, not a bad deal at all...got a pretty rare model there (5 speed manual) with super low miles (for a '94!). FMAX makes a turbo kit for your car that costs $5,500. Turbos are safe so long as you don't get all crazy and try to pump 30 lbs of pressure out of it all the time... No need to race every car at every light, know what I mean?
