Differences Between '92 And '95 Sc400?

[and3rs0n]

Hey everyone,

I'm not really up on all the details of these cars, but since participating in and reading posts on this forum, I've decided I want to get an SC400. There are two cars I am looking at - a 1992 and a 1995, both regularly serviced with very comparable mileages.

Are there any major differences (except for the front grill) between the two that I should take into consideration?

Thanks for the help,

Chris

Either vehicle is a good choice in my opinion. The main noticeable changes are the front, the tail lights, the cupholder and the fog light switch from cornering lights operation.
