Lexus: SC400 Undriveable In Snow?

Looking at a '92 with low miles.
Just heard they are too skittish in snow.
There's a bag of Quickcrete in the trunk, already.
(Will it take two bags? <gr>)

If so, how does the SC400 handle in rain?

Well, I took it for a drive and found much to worry about with this
"good deal" - $7K / 72K miles on a '92 SC400.
First: The drivers's door hinge is weak and the door doesn't close
easily. Replacement necessary for me. (The passenger's side door hinge
is fine.)
Next: Brakes weren't very impressive, and I thought I'd read the brakes
on these cars were great.
Third: The air conditioner seems weak.
Fourth: Thought I felt a small, front-end wobble on a hard braking...,
could be a ball joint.
Fifth: The steering wheel is amazingly marred and worn. I'd have to
replace it.
Sixth: (And this used to be at the head of the list) The saleslady
mentioned when I first started it up that it may need a valve
adjustment, "they all need an adjustment at this mileage". If so, it's
about 10K miles past the regular valve service.
Seventh: Runs good; not great.

A quick chat with a Lexus service manager led me to believe there's at
least $4K in repairs. It would have to be a long, cold winter.....
