hello sc300 owner
Wow, are you talking to me....I feel so special!!!!

I think you'll find both 300's and 400's are pretty equal on the reliability scale. I have a 300 I love it!!!
But if I find a 99' or 00' SC400 with decent miles I may trade up!!

You can't go wrong with either one...Do try for a 97 or newer...If you find one that's nice and "Stick" buy it!!! Before these "animals" on this site get to it!!!

This car will eat cross country road trips for breakfast, and still have room for brunch, lunch, an afternoon snack, dinner and dessert. Just make sure you do a full tune-up before you go, spark plugs, cap, rotor, oil change, and fluids.

I have a '92, with 165k miles on it, and it does me wonders so far. I haven't had it long, but it's a very nice drive, and if I could get the misses to stop driving so agressively, it wouldn't be to bad on gas either. >.>

Gas millage is my only problem so far, especially with gas prices how they are right now and proablly going to stay. Realibity wise I think the car is pretty solid.
