It is common to find buyers of the Lexus SC300 enthusiastic about their purchase. The SC300 has been one of the premier vehicles of the Lexus line for over ten years. It is an important car and the 1992 model is no exception. The Lexus SC300 falls into the coupe for the family category. The SC300 inspires brand loyalty, and it's not unusual to have a buyer purchase Lexuss year after year

Under the Hood

Standard equipment in the SC300 for 1991 and 1992 includes the 3.0 liter engine by Toyota, weighing in at 6 cylinders and twenty four valves. A 4-speed Automatic Transmission puts the power of the engine to the pavement. This is a long-standing favorite for buyers in the Coupe arena.

The SC300 uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

Vehicle Statistics

The dimensions of the SC300 Base are 70.10 inches wide by 187.80 inches long. It sits 53.90 inches off the ground. It seats a standard five passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 103.10 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.

The listed retail price in 1992 (MSRP) was $26,550, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-average price. This price is on target the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 1992 SC300 is a traditional MPI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 18.50 gallons.

The 1992 SC300 gets 24 - 26 miles/gallon on the highway and only 17 - 19 in the city. This is subpar for a coupe car.

We Think...

The 1991 model began the promise of the Lexus SC300. The 1992 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Lexus hopes that the SC300 Base will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
