In stock form they aren't necessarily the most masculine cars lol, but do a few upgrades and they stand out.
Now that they are becoming more affordable the guys like myself that used to bash them are now saying hmmmmm..maybe they aren't so bad hahah
By the way I still have that undertray set for you , just been super busy with work man sorry , it will be on its way soon.

well, this was in San Diego so I took the car to TLC Toyota Lexus care shop for pre-inspection...they said car was good n clean but didnt recommend buying it as it had lot of rust...( car spent its days in MI )...They said they just couldnt tell how bad its going to be for brakes maintenance, suspension etc etc because of rust so I passed on it..
Thanks again for all your input...

SC430 will probably crater in value once age sets in and the top mechanism starts having failure and requires parts in increments of $1,000 to repair. Mercedes SLK and SL that are out of warranty drop faster than hardtop Mercedes with the same engine and roughly same size.
I do have to agree that the styling is ugly. If it had been a Hyundai or Kia instead they would have had such poor sales the plug would have been pulled on it by 2005. The Lexus emblem sold the car.
