Congrats on the purchase. I just bought my 92 SC400 a little over a month ago, It needs some work before she's in real nice shape but I still absolutly love my new car. Hope you are as happy with yours as I am with mine.

Congratz! Welcome to the club. You will learn over time that these cars are truly magnificent. Btw, I think you got a good deal. That sucks about the books not being with the car..maybe you could call a dealership and buy one if you're feeling frisky. I don't even know if they sell them or what they'd say.

Why did you buy a car without testing driving it? That's generally not a very good practice! But I hopefully you'll luck out and its a well maintained car. It could be due for a timing belt..or other things.
