67 and just drove my first SC430 home from Texas. 1847 miles of pleasure.
Been wanting one since my wife bought her 2007 ES 350 and was disappointed when she bought her 2012 RX and noticed no more SC's on the show room floor.

in Saudi Arabia we call this car "Shaiks Car " because who own ths type for car is not looking for speeding and he just looking for majestic and the driving enjoy which you can't find except on this type of lexus and when you compare it to similar cars you will know for sure it's the best and the only one.

I don't have one yet but I do have an SC300 and LS430. I'm 23 and have considered getting an SC430 lately. Back when these cars came out I thought they were so stupid and ugly but over the years I gained a ton of respect for them and I love the SC430 now.

Just from talking to a lot of my friends I've found that girls love the SC430 and guys don't like it as much as the SC400. A clean modded SC430 will change most of their minds though.

Hello kira X

Those are very interesting comments. I like my SC430 a lot more with the mods, JDM details and TRD extras. Why do you think girls like it more over there than guys? What changed your impression?

Default I Own 3 Lexuses

I regularly drive 3 different Lexuses. (or Lexi) One is a 2006 ES 330 which I purchased new and has 230,000 KM or about 135,000 miles. The second is a 2005 RX 330 which I bought used and has 130,000KM or about 75,000 miles and the third is a 2003 SC430 with 150,000Km or 90,000 miles on it. I purchased it used about year ago.
All three of these vehicles are the best I have ever owned, and I have owned many both domestic and foreign They all satisfy my different needs for a interesting driving experience. The SC is incredible even though it is 10 years old and still gets looks from ladies less than half my age which is 74. With the cold weather and snow in Canada, I put it away in winter months, although with snow tires I am sure it would be not too difficult to drive. .My driveway often looks like a used Lexus car lot especially when my relatives visit with their Lexus too.
I should point out that none of these cars have ever given any trouble. With proper maintenance I feel these cars should all run for much longer.

My wife and I are both 66. We both have our own SC430's We also have a CT200h to run around town with. Until recently we also had a LS460 which we sold because it looked like an "old man's car" and we rarely drove it. So now we're down to only 3 Lexi.

40s, first Toyota product I have ever owned. Very satisfied. Was into an MB R129 roadster at first in 2008 and wife shot it down cos it rode too rough. So we got a CPO Lexus instead. The SC is my daily driver and I still get compliments on how good it looks for a nearly 9 year old car.

Would like to keep it going for quite a few more years.
