Thanks a lot! That is amazing help. I will let you know if I found the car good enough or not. If I do, I think I will get it over the coming week.

Hi Bubbles and SPORTcoupe300, wow that is some name to call someone!! Thanks for all the great advice, I am going to be there Saturday to check on the car so I am gathering all possible information about what to look out for. These replies have certainly helped a lot. The VIN number on the car, I will look for, the number was not listed in the posted ad for the vehicle. I am sure it will be there on the car. My problem is that this is going to be the first car I am going to look at under the bonnet, yes, I drove my Dad's car for five years and never looked under the hood:( So I have to know what each part means and where I must look for it. Can you let me know where roughly the timing belt and the coolant reservoir are located. And what would be the costs involved if these looked bad and need replacement. Also, I don't know where the transmission fluid is stored. It looks black, I know it is bad. Timing belt has cracks..bad. Coolant reservoir looks leaky..bad. But I don't know where exactly these are located and how they look like. These sound stupid?! Well I would call it ignorance!!! Please help! Thanks

:o Hi, I am planning to buy a 1992 Lexus SC400 with 98000 miles on it. I am going to see the car this weekend. I would like to know some stuff I must be careful about. Does a CARFAX Report help? because this vehicle does not have a VIN number. I am going to get it for about 7000. I think that is a good deal but I would like some expert advise before I proceed. Thanks Divya
