Well Folks,

It looks like this is the last year of production for the SC430 of 2008.

It's like they never seen such a vehicle like that before even though I've seen so many more SC430's on the road in the last 2-3 years than before.

I always say, "Thank you" politely and I think it's really not a big deal at all.

Are u folks from the '02 and up to the '08 still get such compliments?

Show the Love.....

thanks...teeman3

 

wish i had an SC430, a really slick design but way too expensive for me right now. i hope the next SC (LF-C) and the awesome LF-A (GT-F?) will carry the torch on.

 

I still get compliments on my car as well.

 

Me too all the time. People make like they have never seen this car before.

 

Yes all the time.

 

I don't own an SC, but I will tell you that there's a new SGM, black interior, with tourmaline wheels at my local dealer, and I must say that it looks GREAT.

Lexus vehicles always stand the test of time with regard to styling. They use styling that still looks good 5 years later with a new gen version of the car out for 3 years.

It's amazing.

 

That's something I really didn't expect when I purchased the car...the attention it gets.

Mine is black, which I think is nice and understated but, yeah...strangers come up to me fairly regularly and comment on it. Even sitting in DC traffic.

I had one commute into the city one day where no less that THREE different people said something to me. Every time someone said something, I would text-message my wife. First message was funny, second was hilarious, by the third message she was like "What the heck?!?". On a nice day, with the top down, I get quite a few thumbs-up gestures but, this was just a regular day, top was up. I referred to it as "Look at Greg" day.

I had a nice woman talk to me in our building's elevator one day. Her "compliment" to me was "My friend and I want to knock you over the head and steal your car...we love it." Uhh.....thanks, I think.

 

Yes it is true, people of all ages dig the SC! I was just picking up some take-out a week or so ago and pulled up to park in front of a group of girls w/their parents selling Girl Scout cookies. As soon as I got out of the car, they all said "nice car" in unison. Then they wanted to look inside. I felt like I was at a show and tell.

 

Before I took my SC400 to a more track design I used to get comments on it all the time. How it was such a beautiful car and how they thought it was at least a 2004 model year

 

Did they then proceed to ask you to buy a dozen boxes. After all, it does have an L emblem on it

 

Twice yesterday at Starbucks.

 

3 times last night -
"damn, nice wood interior!" - valet guy
"nice ride!" - some guy at the gas station while I was gassing up
"I got half a million dollars in my bag. I'll trade it for your car!" - some random dude on the sidewalk. I said "Get one at the dealership...it's slightly cheaper." He laughs.

The SC gets a compliement about every other day I drive it but I get stares all the time. Love the SC!

 

haha funny you bring it up, just last night I was driving to dinner when an older couple gave us the thumbs up at the light. After dinner the valet guy who brought back my car said "wow beautiful car". I love hearing comments because I feel as tho the person not only likes my car but they also enjoy the modifications I've done to it and appreciate my touches.

 

Even though I have an older SC400, I have gotten quite a few comments and looks. The most recent was when I was at a gas station and this black guy that was next to me at the pump started asking me random questions, like if I waxed it or something and commenting on how clean it was and starts running his hand along the fender...LOL. To be honest, I was a little nervous about him scratching it or something. I get like Arnie from the movie Christine sometimes, real uptight about my car. A few minutes later, I start my car to leave and it, of course, makes this loud V8 sound because I have a cutout on my exhaust. The guy comes back over near my car and looks over at my car in awe. He probably never heard a Lexus that sounded so mean.

 

Nice!
Yeah I remember when I had my SC300 I got alot of compliments also. ..not as much as the SC430 but still attracted tons of attention for a 10+ y/o car.
Ahhh the memories...
