I believe we are in the same boat! My girlfriend has a 2000 RX300, and I own a 1993 SC400. The SC400 is a great car, and I have never had any problems besides the minor ones Derek mentioned. My car has had a "Salvage" title since 1999 when it had 96,000 miles, and there have never been any problems. The car now has ~158,000 miles. Make sure you "Get on it" when you test drive, because you can see if the transmission has any hesitation, fuel problems. Make sure you get a good history check, and check to see if the car was RE-painted. I ended up getting a great deal on my SC400 and paid $2400 Tax, Title, License. Since I bought it for so cheap, I found a parts car for $500 that I have at my Step-Fathers house. If anything ever goes wrong...That's pretty much my warranty. Although I haven't had to touch it yet!
