Hello All, I have recently purchased a remarkably well kept 2003 SC430 with 25K miles on it. I am getting used to the "rougher than I am used to" ride due to the run flat tires. So far I love this car and look forward to perusing the forums to learn more about this fine auto. I am in the process of getting satellite radio and an AUX plug installed.

Nice looking ride. I got mine about two months ago, trying to figure out if keeping the "Pie Plates" is acceptable.

The pie plates were one of the first things to go!

congratulations! beautiful car and you really will love it; last time I stopped at my Lexus dealer to get oil filters, the sales manager tracked me down and asked if I was interested in selling it to him. I have an '02, silver with black and 60K miles. they sell any of these as fast as they get them, and, he said he has a waiting list of people wanting a low mile model with good history.

travel safely and enjoy.

Congratulations!. Fine looking car but I might be partial to the color combo.

Mine had aftermarket wheels on it when I bought it. Poor quality chrome, so I went back to the OEM wheels and twisty caps.

Good luck, you will enjoy every minute!

Very good point on the futuristic look. The Pie Plates were definitely designed for minimum air turbulence.

Our future wheels with have adjustable vanes to keep it solid while running on the road.

Pay attention to the new wheel designs. The flatter the better. Less turbulence, better COD.
