Default SC300 5SPD Questions

I currently have a LS400 and don't know too much about the SC300/400s.

Just wondering if anyone could answer the following questions

What years did they make the SC300 5SPD model ?

Were the following options avaliable on the SC300 5 SPD

Nakamichi
Heated Seats
Traction Control
Factory Cell Phone

Were the same Rims offered on both the SC300 5Spd and the SC400 ?

Does the SC300 use the same engine as the Supra non-turbo? Do you see many of these engines with over 250K Miles as you would an LS400 ?

Also one more questions:

Was the air suspension avaliable in any of the SC300 or 400 in any years?

92-97 on the SC300, never on the SC400

yes, yes, no, and yes. not an all years though...

the SC300's had 15'' rims and the SC400's came with slightly larger 16'' rims

yep, the SC300, GS300, and supra NA's all have the same engine, the 3.0L NA I6 engine. You see quite a few go over 250K....Lexi are built to last. I see many owners buying their SC's with 150K+ already on it.

Edit: thanks to posts after mine, fixed a minor error

Default 5 Speed and traction control?

I could be wrong, but I do not belive that traction control was available for my 97 SC300 5-speed.

Default traction control

I thought you had to have an automatic transmission to get traction control.

Well, I've never SEEN with my own eyes a manual transmission SC with traction control, anyway.

Can't get traction control with a 5-speed.

Detailed info is easily found with a search.
