Nice find and welcome to the forum. In those pictures, it looks more like Indigo Ink than Black Sapphire but I believe that Indigo Ink was last used in 2005 (not sure though).

Hi, from South Florida. Tomorrow I receive my new, to me, 2002 SC430 and am excited as it's my first Lexus.
I've been a convertible driver for about thirty years -- first Corvettes and the last four were BMW. A back problem that I had for two years made it very difficult to get in and out of the last one, a 650i. So two years ago I traded that for a Lincoln MKZ specifically for the massage seats (they are great) and how reasonably priced the car was as a CPO compared to others.
Happy to say I'm recovering quickly from back surgery, so it's time to have the wind flow through my few hairs again. I get attached to cars, so this time I focused only on cars known for reliability so I can hopefully keep it forever. I looked at Solara's and SC430s. The Solara was very nice, but being a car lover I quickly knew it was going to be the SC430.
2002 Millenium Silver with Ecru
80,000 miles (Lexus serviced, timing chain at 78,000)
Was snowbird car, mostly in Florida
Has Mark Levinson and spoiler
I'm positive I'll have a lot of questions that can be answered just by looking through all the posts here.
Things I'm thinking about once I know the car is a keeper:
1. Adding backup camera, bluetooth and blind spot monitors if possible
2. Replacing wheels with original "pie plates" -- I think they are cool

Welcome to the forum Lexcious and congrats on your purchase. It looks like a nice one. You will probably be one of the first to replace the newer wheels with pie plates, but if that's what you like, go for it! (There will probably be a market for the wheels that you take off.)
