Default Prayers answered, found 2002 430SC!!

After much research, and thanks to all of the information on this site, we found our dream car.. a 2002 red/white interior SC with 52,000 miles with all services done, and new tires (not run flats) with antenna replaced, no distortion in the Levinson, and even has a Lexus "funny spare"...but has not had the correct modification done to make it look nice in the trunk compartment...which is on this site...incredible...a few parking lot dents which can be repaired..but no real road rash on the hood. The top has only been down 3 times since new ( we were the 3rd time), and all top angles are correct. The only repair which I will need to do is the one involving the back of the driver's seat separating...is there a post on this? We will pick up next Saturday...thank all of you for the education on what to look for... Best Wishes, Bob and Carolyn

Congratulations. You will love your SC.

I will look for you as I drive my SC throughout AZ. You can tell its me by the smile on my face whether my top is up or down.

Congrats on finding your dream car, share some pics please, oh by the way that "white interior " is called ecru in Lexus terminology! Good Luck with the new SC and welcome to the club!

The back of the driver seat is held by two screws at the bottom. Make sure they are bolted in.

I had the same problem when I got my car...
