Originally I was looking at a 93 model but the car had a rebuilt title so I crossed it off my list. I am now looking at 92 SC400 with 174k miles. The owner is asking $2,900, he "says" the car is in mint condition with new tires, brakes, radiator and battery. No rust or dents. I'm wondering if this is a good deal and if 174k is too many miles. From the research I've done it sounds like a very reliable car with an un-killable engine that can easily reach 300k with the proper maintenance. Is that true because 174k seems like a lot of miles? So if anyone could comment any tips with these cars, if they'll be maintenance crazy, what parts etc. Any ideas on what I should check out when I go see the car would be very helpful for me. If anyone could give me any knowledge about buying a car like this that would be greatly appreciated also. I'm also wondering if this car would be maintenance crazy? From the research I've done it's a very reliable car. But it's also a 21 year old car so... Any tips will be great anything about the car I should know. Questions I should ask?

Very interested in buying a 1993 SC400. The car has 117,000 miles. Timing Belt was replaced at 90,000 and there are no dents, dings or rust. They're asking $5,000. Any ideas on what I should check out when I go see the car would be very helpful for me. If anyone could give me any knowledge about buying a car like this that would be greatly appreciated also.
