I also agree with, BGW70 that the SC430 was produced in such high quantities that collectibility looks rather flat.
I bought the SC because I love it and because it's not often seen on the roads. Heck, most people don't even know it's a Lexus without the emblem.

My coworker once described to me about a beautiful SC in the company's parking lot. Then I told him it was mine.

Collectible or not, just modestly enjoy the car.

I am the original owner of a 2002SC Neiman Marcus Limited edition with only 26+ miles. Prestige condition, original, never in an accident absolutely beautiful: would this be a possible future collectible?

Does anyone else have a 2002 Neiman Marcus limited edition Lexus SC430. Mine is 50 out of 100 with only 26k miles, pristine condition, never in an accident, and I am the original owner. Just wondering if there are any others left and what mine is worth. If any has sold and if so what was the sale price.

Believe it or not, one of our member actually has one. A Nieman Marcus SC430 with a 2JZ (6 cylinders)

I'm not sure if it's a collectible since there's not much difference except colors and a few changes among all SCs. All SCs basically have the same performance.

When I was shopping for mine, I had a chance to get the Neiman Marcus, but decided against it because I did not want a first model year car. I currently have an 05 Pebble Beach with 14k miles, but never consider it a collectible. All I want is for it to hold its value while I enjoy it.

The 1st models did have the most issues, but those were typically produced in 2001. The 2002 models that were produced in 2002 seem to be fine. The even later models did fine also.

If you think your car is a collectible, you can see what the market says. January is Auto Auction time in Arizona. You can go to the Barrett Jackson Auto auction and see if anyone is selling an SC and next week, see what it sold for.

I thought I was doing well with an 08sc pebble beach with 34k miles on it.

Just because of circumstances it’s not driven more. I bought it to drive it.

Never thought about being a collectors car.

But that being said I would not sell it for a normal used car price.
