I know that the automatics had an option for traction control. It's a blessing in the snow, but for balls out driving in takes the fun away. You can turn it off and diff still transfers a little power under slippage, but under full throttle you'll smoke one tire. The manuals didn't come with trac, i don't believe. as far as things to look for, i can't think of any, just as long as the person has had it maintained it should be fine, they're very reliable cars. I have a 1992 sc300 auto for sale if you're curious. i've done some after market work and such to it. so email me if you're interested. voeltzjo@mnstate.edu
