Used 2002 Lexus SC 430 Consumer Reviews
They dont make them the way they used to
Lexus cut corners with The switches and controls. They appear to be straight out of a toyota corolla. I think the steering wheel is too. Ride is harsh on the run flats. They last for about 5000 miles and then start rumbling really bad. Paid $1600 for new tires in less then one year of casual driving. Dealer says this is normal. The seat belt position is to low for taller drivers. The 1991 LS 400 we bought new was a much better car. Clearly, corners were cut on this one. I will be getting rid of this car ASAP. Anyone want to buy a Nieman Marcus Silver Belle Edition SC430 with new tires?
Not What I Thought
I must be an idiot !! My girl convinced me to buy this car. I was perfectly content with my Gorgeous 50th anniversarry Corvette. From the day I bought this so called "certified" car I have had nothing but problems. Thank god it's still under warranty !! Then my dad said something very true...the SC430 is nothing more that a jazzed up Toyota!! Remember that when you buy this overpriced wanna be sports car. You would expect that they put some thought into the suspension. My Ford F-150 rides smoother than this. Today I brought it in yet again because it keeps eating batteries. Three visits and they can't figure out what the problem is - they are talking about replacing the harness now.

too much money
Thought this car was a must have so traded my 99 Corvette for it.This is an ideal car for a women but it sure is not a Corvette. It's a look at me type of car that should cost maybe $39,000.00 not the almost $70,000.00 I paid. The roof leaks when it goes thru the car wash,thats not good.Sometimes it just won't start,deal service is good
Over Rated Toyota
I have never been so disappointed in a vehicle!!! My 2003 Lincoln LS V8 out performs the Lexus, hands down. As far as luxury features are concerned, there are non, other than a great navigation system. The seats are hard, the accelaration is fair, at best. The styling is unique but, you can't see the front, much less the rear, of the car from the drivers seat making parking a nightmare. I was considering a Vette but, went for the Lexus SC for a better ride, boy was I wrong! Handling and ride are both far less than my Lincoln. Overall, I find the car to be a real ripoff and I'm about to loss $10,000.00 + just to get rid of it!
Lexus SC430
Great car. Test drove BMW 330 convertible and Mercedes hardtop convertible. No comparison in the quality of the ride... the Lexus had them beat hands down.
The Fun Car
We splurged and bought this car. We absolutely love everything about it. Yeah it is small but in this case small is best. It draws compliments everywhere we go. A dream to drive, fun to handle with wonderful features. Get one and you will never want to part with it.
A Winner and a Benchmark for Quality
A truly refined automobile.
The best luxury sports car
A great car for a long trip with just the 2 of you. I'm looking forward to the improvements coming in the next model change.
2002 SC430
Purchased used in Dallas. 3 after market chrome wheels out of round. Dealer is reimbursing my cost of repair. Higher fuel usage than my ES 300. Very comfortable interior Smooth, quiet ride. Integrity of this car is perfect.
This car rocks
I have never driven a smoother vehicle. It's design and overall sleek performance make this car a dream.
