Hi Gang

Having owned " a few SC 430s " in the last few years, I can only tell
everyone what my experience has been with the car.

The SC 430 is truly a car that grows on you. After I bought the SC, I wanted
to buy a vintage Mercedes (280SL). When I finally sold my SC,
I realized how much I really like the car and came back looking for another SC.

I do agree the SC's look is not for everyone just like the older Mercedes SL's are not
for everyone, but the SC unique look does grow on you. I for one is still not very fond of
the " Spindle Grill" and the sharp crease seen in the new Finess Lexus lineup.

At the end of the day, it is " different strokes for different folks"
For me, I personally think the lines are timeless very similar to
the Iconic Pagoda Benz 280 SL

personally, I hated the SC430 when it came out.
after quite a few years it grew on me and when I needed a new car I got a 12 year old one and couldn't be happier

I am on Lexus #8 and SC430 #2 (sold my 2006 and just bought a 2008 SC430). A day does not go by that I am tooling around South Florida with the top down and someone says they love my car.

I agree with the timeless lines of the SC430. You either love it/lust after one or hate it. I friggin love SC430's. I see myself in 2-4 years selling the 2008 and buying a low mileage 2010.
