I've had four SC430s, and each time I think I'm over my "love affair" and trade them in for a newer car I regret it and start searching for my next SC430... I'm glad there are so many low mileage garage queens out there to nab still! My current SC only has 20k miles and looks and smells like a new car! Bliss!
These cars are not the fastest, handles the best and
Has their own model's issues but I honestly think as the years goes
By, the SC 430 will go down as one of the iconic models
from the golden years of Lexus.
I had a guy in a new BMW 5 series yesterday asked if I would sell my car
at a gas station .
Yeah, the gas station experience is something that happens to me pretty often. Most often it is the pump attendant ( we do not pump our own gas in NJ ) who says, "Wow, nice car, what year is it ?" and they all don't believe it when I say it is a 12 year old car with 90k miles on it.
I'm a new SC owner, but not new to some great cars (MB S600, Tesla, Cad CTS-V, etc.). For a 2 seater, the SC holds its own with any I've been in. May not have all the whistle & bells we find these days, but for either top-up or top-down cruising, nothing tops it.
There are not many cars that get the attention the SC430 does, people are always taking pics or asking us what year it is. The best part is you don't see many on the road. The only reason I would sell it is for a newer SC430!
I loved my 02 so much I just bought a 06 with 15k miles

Ever thought of trading the SC for a new Lexus ?
I personally think the SC is going to go down as one of the iconic models from Lexus
The SC is not the fastest , not the most nimble and looks like a jelly bean ....but I think the shape and the lines
of the car is still amazing after all these years .
And no, I will only sell my SC to buying maybe a newer SC!
The love affair continues ..
exist ?
I am in heaven again I just bought a 06 sc430. I traded my 02 sc430 for a 04, new, ls430 great car that I still have with 110k miles looks and runs like brand new. I bought the 06 with 15k miles, car is mint, for my summer home in NH. Like it so much thinking of bringing it to FL.
....ditto Jonas !!!!...I've owned a few cars that I wouldn't mind having back, but this one might be a keeper....
This is one beautiful SC430. I have a 2002 SC430, Silver with black interior just like this. Silver Rohana RC10 with staggered Nittos. I am looking for anyone (SC430) with a Wing or different spoiler. I will post my SC soon.

Nice ride. Since most of our members really do not consider the sc430 to be a sports car and most see it as a luxury cruiser I don't think a wing is something that I would find appropriate . Spoilers are different I think there was after market spoiler that extended more then the OEM . I am just a fan of the stock spoiler .Others will chime in .
