I have receipts the previous owner had done. Radiator, did seats over, rack pinion, belts, and water pump. I have had no issues until now. Power steering pump got a leak and these cars, they put the alternator under the power steering pump. Dumb. So now it blew out the alternator. Now I have to replace both. I guess I can't complain for a 25 year old car that I got for 1500 bucks, and that looks and drives awesome.

Go for it if you find them cheap and have had maintenance done.

SC400 the Supra improved!

The minute I saw this car, I knew I had to have it. I have been a long time Toyota fan - especially the Supra, but the SC400 is Supra redefined. Believe it or not this car was garaged for 7 years. It was owned by a soldier in Iraq and couldn't bear to have it sit in storage any longer. After a new battery and a set of Yokohama tires, all it needed was a thorough trans flush and service. I kid you not, This car looks, feels and drives likes new. It now has just under 72,000 miles and I beam from ear to ear. I did have it completely detailed inside and out. WOW! What a ride. Don't get me wrong I still have my Supra - I won't part with the long nose turbo. But the SC400 is the bomb.

I can't seem to find anything wrong with this car. Probably the only thing I would change is passenger cup holder.

It's just about perfect.

This car has not given me any problems at all. I'm so happy with it. It already has "177,800.00" miles and it runs and feels better than any new car. It is amazing how they built this car. The only problem I'm having is; the CD changer sleeps sometimes while driving. If you just drive like a normal person and change the oil when you are supposed to, this car will last forever.

Power steering pump failed at 99k ($500- repair)

Passenger seat adjustment did not work when I bought it.

One headlamp leaks water.

General Comments:

This is a very enjoyable, super smooth ride. No expense was spared when these were built, hence a sticker price over $50k usd. However, at about $8k usd for a good used one, very good value.

Surprisingly good MPG (20-25), though manufacturer recommends premium fuel. However, I have used 89 octane even while running air conditioning, without issue. Otherwise, parts and service can be expensive, but repairs are infrequent. After-market mechanical and some body parts are not made for some reason, but used parts and some remanufactured parts are widely available.

These cars are known to run for 250k miles without missing a beat!

Very quiet, comfortable cabin. Powerful and very, very smooth power delivery. Transmission shifts like new. I put 18" wheels with low profile tires on mine, so it handles like a race car, but still soaks up bumps well.

Sound system is awesome; look for the optional trunk-mounted CD changer (the only other major options were traction control (useful), rims, and gold lettering).

I would challenge anyone to find a better used car for the money!
