I already own an SC430, but out of curiosity, does anyone have information on how much the 2002 SC430's are going for at wholesale auctions nowadays? If anyone has access to Manheim or Adesa statistics please see if you can share how much a 2002 SC430 with over 100K would sell for at the auction.

Thank you

Price seem to be very normal. My friend (used car dealer/sales) states you need to add about $400~$500 auction fees on top of that. Yes, buyer pay auction fee, not seller. Here's some more i got from my friend:

2002 LEXUS SC430 SILVER 2 8 GAS A 69,834 $16,400
2002 LEXUS SC430 SILVER 2 8 GAS A Y X CV L 24,709 $24,000
2002 LEXUS SC430 SILVER 2 8 GAS O 4X2 Y TAPE RH L 77,422 $21,600
2002 LEXUS SC430 WHITE 2 8 GAS A Y X CV L 31,138 $23,500
2002 LEXUS SC430 BLUE 2 8 GAS A 4X2 Y B RH L 117,969 $7,800
2003 LEXUS SC430 BLACK 2 8 GAS A Y B RH L 91,160 $16,300
2003 LEXUS SC430 BLUE 2 8 GAS 58,903 $16,200
2003 LEXUS SC430 SILVER 2 8 GAS A Y X CV L 84,290 $14,800
2004 LEXUS SC430 NONE BLUE 2 8 GAS A A N CV L 51,900 $22,500 <-- Another 2004 Pebble Beach Edition

Wow, it looks like some dealer got a heck of a deal on that 2002 with 117K miles on it. I wonder what the designations "4X2 Y B RH L" mean, perhaps it's a reconstructed vehicle or a branded (bad) title.

2002 LEXUS SC430 BLUE 2 8 GAS A 4X2 Y B RH L 117,969 $7,800

Anyone have any guesses?

Its most likely the car is salvage/rebulit or body damage, below "fair" condition.

This is excellent info, thank you! If anyone has any additional statistics please share.

Does anyone know what the designations "8G A", "8CY A", and the others mean? This would provide additional insight into these statistics.

Thanks

I have owned mine for just over a year. Values have held pretty well. for early model cars 02 03 04 it seems condition is the most important issue. These cars are old enough to be in every possible condition from showroom perfect to salvage. Nice sub 50k examples still command low $20's retail money.

Remember ALL used cars have held or increased slightly in values due to the odd market conditions after the great recession. There is truely a shortage of late model used vehicles. Average fleet age is over 10 year old in the US now. The program cars that normally turn at 15k miles are coming out at 30k miles.
