I'm looking at buying a '93 Sc400, and the motor has about 290,000km on it. How reliable are these motors and on average how long do they last?
If you all would be so kind as to give me some ideas as to what to look for (common problems if any) I would greatly appreciate it
(I was told all it needed was a side light and an e-brake adjustment to pass safety)

It all depends on how well they were maintained... I'd look more for problems on the car than the motor I mean look to see if its pouring fluid out somewhere maybe check the timing belt for cracks and such but check the undercarriage for rust and rot, it will most likely have dead needles and a bleeding climate control

That's rather impressive. The guy i'm buying from says he's kept it well maintained, but that could just be the whole sales speech. On a side note he's only asking just under $2,000. And apparently it comes with some extra parts he had laying around (including a spare set of leather heated seats)

Other problems stem from (as mentioned above) lack of maintenance and neglect/abuse.
