The jewel of Lexus, 07/28/2020

The Jewel, as Lexus described this car when it first came out and not only because it was a precious design but it was Lexus first convertible. Its lines were inspired by the upscale and high end yachts peered in the south of France known as The French Riviera where Lexus designers spent some time capturing and absorbing the beauty and elegance around that particular region and later molding it into what is known as The Lexus SC430. A solid build, an elegant and appealing convertible with ageless lines that will blend in with today's modern designs without shame of being left behind. Power by a very dependable V8 Engine with aluminum block and heads and the vvt-i technology delivering a responsive yet efficient grunt to get up and go paired with a smooth shifting six speed automatic transmission and to top it off a rear wheel drive traction. The interior is done with mastered craftsmanship using only real precious hard wood like Birdseye Maple or Walnut and the leather used on the seats is done by Coach the famous handbag manufacturers.All the gadgets are well placed and built with quality, while other manufactures gadgets last only a few years with Lexus you do not find that as a norm, they just last and always work. I will enjoy this car along with my wife now that we are in our late 40's and we hope to keep her for a long long time.

2006 SC Lexus 430, old school luxury

In the summer of 2020, I purchased a 2006 SC 430 with 27,750 well maintained miles. It's beautiful -- a great grand touring luxury ride. I have some mechanical aptitude & as I went through the car's interior & exterior, it it quite evident that this car is supremely engineered & extremely well put together. It's curb weight is just shy of two tons. It's whisper quiet & has plenty of pep. A/C is ice cold for hot summer days . . . and the top-down driving is exquisite. The burled walnut trim in the cabin is still gorgeous & the "Coach" (brand name, look it up) leather still looks new. The first & only owner cleaned & conditioned the leather seats . . . which most folks do not do. Reliability of SC 430 is without equal with a mass produced car (multiple awards from J.D. Powers, etc., over the life of the SC). Look for low mileage 2002 - 2010 SC 430. Properly maintain it and you'll derive years of luxury driving pleasure!😁

Super vehicle. Amazingly quiet even with top down. Acceleration and braking are great, as billed in the literature. A real lux sport coupe on winding roads. A fantastic ride.
The Best in Luxury Convertible cars

Dont compare it with Porsche or MB, they are different animals. If you want to feel the engine, the road and handling of a real sport car go with a Porsche or SL500 or if you have the bucks go with a Ferrari but if you want to have a quasi Sporty convertible car with real luxury, the best reliability in the market, good power (60MPH in 5.8sec.), excellent comfort, outstanding stereo sound, premium amenities and you want to keep the best value in a car the SC430 is the car! Some people, disapprove the back seat, but to me it's a good thing, why? Because my insurance is not considering my SC like a Sport Car that normally is 50% more expensive expensive than a regular car because the 4 seats.

I love to take care of my cars so waxing is a regular calendar event. Part of the reward for maintaining a cars appearance is the self satisfaction and of course the parking lot adulation from passers by. At 13 years old with the original paint, this car still gets lots of adulation. The best part is the lines of the car not only bring attention they are a breeze to wash and wax.
