I've always love the sc430 since it came out in 2001. Now, it's a dream come true. I'm getting a 2007 SGM/alabaster 15k mi. from an owner. Beautiful car. Going to the bank and getting the paper work done. I'll keep you guys and gals update. So stay tuned...

The largest downside of my '04 430 is the solid leather seats.
On a hot day, the seats capture all the heat, both exterior and body,
creating a sweaty mess.
I've got a '99 ML320 with perforated leather seats that stays cool in direct heat.
Most high-end manufacturers use perforated leather for that reason.
When will Lexus figure this out?

I'll have to agree with jimmer! The seats could use some cooling air running through them. I do enjoy them in the 07 ES. But the top still stays down.

backseat: 100% nonfunctional

trunk space (only with roof up): its okay, the 350 probably has more...
Backseat is functional for overnight bag and small cooler, not humans !!

I pulled the trigger and purchased the 2007 sc430 SGM/alabaster nav/ML. Here's the thread.
