Used 2002 Lexus SC 430 Consumer Reviews
Asian answer to European standard
Nice v8 power with great fuel economy. Very stiff chassis for a convertible, no cowl shake. Always a crowd pleaser when lowering / raising the top.

A timeless beauty! Lexus 430
A dream come true! A car that is worth 65k for 33k! Looks great and rides like whipped butter. It's a 2002 & the only difference between the later models are the mileage, price, voice activated nav and the bluetooth. Save yourself thousands, get an early model with low mileage. Get a good earpiece for your cell phone & save. It's the same car though 2002 was the best one, research it! Though I must be practical and balance mileage and gas because of high gas prices for premium, it's totally worth it! When gas is high, ride around town! When gas is lowered, hit the road! You will look good and feel great doing it! I LOVE my Lexus 430!

Best Hardtop Convertible
Absolutely the best hardtop convertible available. Works flawlessly. Powerful V8 engine. The most beautiful, radical styling Lexus has ever done. Highly recommend if you can find one.

Incredible Car with roof rattles
This car is so fun and special to drive and everyone is looking at you. Ultimate in luxury. The car, however, suffers from roof liner rattles. The top, itself, is solid. The interior liner of the top, however, is an engineering disaster. The roof liner is a separate piece from the side liners, therefore, as they rub against each other, you get rattles. Believe me, this is a problem that needs to be addressed by Lexus. The "fit" lexus designers must have been absent when this liner was created. However, the car is so special that one can overlook this. Just play that incredible sound system at a resonable level and all will be well!
2002 SC430
Acceleration is moderate at first, then strengthens considerably. The ride is very comfortable and the car responds quickly and surely to sudden changes in direction. The hard top convertible is a real plus. Quiet as a coupe when up and very easy to get up or down. Quality is expectional. No repairs needed thru the first 35,000 miles. Maintenance costs are very high if serviced by the dealer. The summer run-flat tires that came with the car were useless in winter, wore out in about 25K miles and were expensive to replace at $300 per tire.
