1997 SC 400...BEST CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED!

I also own a 1997 SC400. Not as nice as yours. I had some chips on the hood and tried to use touch-up paint on them. It now looks like big boogers dot my hood. It is a dark forest green. I need to clean it up as it has bothered me ever since I did it. Help on how to do that without going to a body shop would be welcome. I did switch out the torque converter to the Dragon, what a difference that made! Otherwise, she is all stock and in great condition with just turning 100K.

I have a 93 SC400 which I bought for $10,300 three years ago. The car has 36,000 miles and we love it. The color has a gray and green tint depending on the light. This is probably the nicest lines on a car I have seen. It is a lpeasure to drive. I have tried to keep the miles down on the car. The only real problem is the battery won't keep a charge. I have to constantly keep charging thje battery or it will be dead in about one week. Has any boby had a simular problem.

Got myself a nice green 1992 SC400 for $2500. It has 136k miles and everything works except the following

problems: the radio fades out after a few minutes of playing (the 12-CD changer works great, though!), the

tilt steering wheel device only goes forward and backward, makes noise if I try to lower it, and the speedometer

is not working. It drives like a dream and still has plenty of power. It is an automatic.

I have heard that the tilt wheel steering device is a common problem that is easily fixed. Having some mechanical

and electronic ability, I will try and do it myself. I could use some manuals, though. But they are expensive! Anybody

have any advice on getting these manuals on the cheap? I searched eBay already.

Anybody have similar problems as mine with the radio and speedo? I am wondering if the speedo cable is broken

or if it is an electronic issue? What about the radio? It doesn't look easily replaceable in that style.

Please contribute and help a fellow Lexus lover! Thanks! :D

Just received the title to our 1st Lexus, a 1993 SC400, Black (Ebony) over Tan, with approximately 84.5K miles. Had a 75K Dealer service (@80K), new timing belt, serpentine, radiator, KYB suspenders, Michelin P Sport A/S at about the same time. Broken interior passenger door handle is about the only thing I can find to fix: might even try drilling a couple holes for pins and give good ol' JB Weld a try...

Looking forward to a couple of decades of luxurious service from this baby!

Cheers!

p.s. When I can figure out how to post an image on this site I will.

Hello!

A year ago I purchased a 1993 SC300 for $500 from a friend. It has 250K on a 2JZ motor. It needs a lot of work, but my boyfriend is a mechanic/body and fender man, so I lucked out. I attached a couple of pics so please don't hate as this is a project car. Thanks! :)
