Default 2008 SC430 with 265,000 miles.

This SC430 has had a dealers service every 5,000 miles as per car fax. One owner car.

Seems a little high for mileage number and exterior color is a big minus for me.

1 owner*** extremely well maintained, loaded with every option imaginable. Hard top convertible, lexus certified maintenance, premium sound, everything works, a gorgeous and fun car toi own and drive. It can go anywhere and is as classy as any other high end luxury vehicle on the current market. These were well over $100,000 new.

It means someone loved on it for a long time. I wouldn't be worried about purchasing it. Just make sure it's had the timing belt/water pump services done at the correct mileage/age. I'd also make sure the seat fits you well. That seat is now permanently sculpted to whomevers butt sat in it. Also check for rust (if it was in the north). Idk if It'd pay 11k for that high a milage tho... 08 is a rare year so be that whatever it's worth to you.

Why is 2008 a rare year?

What I found interesting after reading the carfax report is the owner had the car serviced at the dealer every 5,000 miles. I personally would not take my car in every 5,000 miles. With care on these cars you can expect a dependable vehicle.

@SGB4570 just that they didn't sell many in the Sc430's later years.

Gentlemen, don't lough about the over $100,000 when new. (in Canada). In Australia my 2001 new, are you ready for it, was.....$ 165,000. Over 100% for luxury tax. They stayed around that price till the very last year, 2010. If it seems unbelievable check on the computer.
