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!😁

For a retired senior, it's the perfect car for the second vehicle now that the kids are out of the house. Makes you feel young again. Auto top down mechanism is great and it rides almost like a sedan while having the nimbleness of a roadster.

Your only decision will be which color.

This is my first Lexus, and driving the SC 430 goes well beyond my most extreme expectations. It has the silkiest shifting transmission I have ever experienced on a car, and the ride is like floating on air. Ultra-comfortable front seats, and plenty of power help to complement the other features of this car. Test one, and compare it to the other cars in this segment. Your only choice will be which color combination to get.

My recent frustration with an X5 and a 745 sent me on a mission to check out Lexus. Every experience I had had with 5 other Lexus cars was great so I went looking for an suv and an LS 430. Well when I saw this matador red, chrome wheeled beauty I was smitten. This is a great car that no one seems to pay any mind to. Beautiful styling, great comfort, world class fit and finish, quiet ride top up and top down and Lexus reliability make this car bulletproof. The only flaw is the seat belt access but why quibble. This car has it all and a great value in the market place. I have never enjoyed a car like this one. This is one sweet ride.

Exhilarating!!! From the moment I took the keys, my life changed. This car looks sexy & handles far better than I expected.
