Looks very clean...always curious why people don't take pics of the driver's seat and bolster-probably because it's worn. Nice wheels. Looks like a good clean car. Now the carfax and www.lexus.com/owners tests!

Well this car has lived in the NE - NewYork and Rochester nearly all of its life. Good service history at dealers and last serviced about 3K ago. Looks likes its had some electrical problems, but its hard to tell from the service summaries. Came to life in Jan 02 but then there were big jumps in service 12-14K later in life...

IMO of it's value...it really needs a FULL inspection at a dealer. There are maintenance item to be considered by AGE not mileage which are very expensive, i.e. timing belt service 1K @90K miles has not been done.

You also should read the sticky comment near the top of the threads... "buying an SC430..." by SCDROPTOP which is an excellent reference for due diligence.

If this car has not been into an accident and the interior is good, it will be a steal. You might not see it when you drive to the dealer. Very good price. And the rims are not pieplates nor twisters!

Poqman

didn't see the TB/waterpump/idler pulley/tensioner pulley/etc. associated with the 90k service.

what about this one!?
too many miles?

scdroptop

Not necessarily....SC's 4.3 V8 can go easily over 200k. It depends on the maint of the car. If you are serious about it, I'd have it checked out at dealer or independent mechanic and pull up on www.lexus.com/owners.

On the first car above, I'd be seriously concerned with the plethora of electrical issues on the car. Maybe it was in a flood? Hard to believe it was a CPO car and had so many electrical problems right after that. Very rare to see that. MMMMMMMMM?????

Also would agree with others that I don't see any 30k, 60k 90k services plus no timing belt. You could easily spend $3k-$4k in regular maint on that car especially if it needs new tires, etc. too.

i would go get it check out from a dealership.. but since im far from the car.. i would fly there and drive it back home.. dont really have time to take it to a dealer to check it out.. if it was local i would have gotten it checked out

Are you in STL or KC? I have friends in KC that could look at a car for you if you are close. PM me if you need some help with your budget, wish list (color combos) etc. I'd be glad to help spend your money!

This is an incredible deal. I'd like them to take those sheepskins off so we can see the real hide. $18,900 been hit, but professionally re done to the rear (no front issues) Sharp wheels...2005 gives you newer nav, better options for Vais Tech iPod integration, bluetooth, etc. Not sure if this one is too much...but great mileage on this with 45k!!!

9k for that 02 i would jump all over that deal !!!

Sapherynth

I know it is a bit of a hike for you but this 2002 TAP one has been for sale for a while (bargaining power) near me. I was not interested in ecru when I was looking so I passed over it. Pictures are nice, but I haven’t checked into the history. It is right down the street from me so if you want me to have a look for you, I will .
