I have owned as many as 50 cars in my time. My lexus sc 430 convertible out wins them all. The leather is so soft and inviting that I can ride in the car all day. The sound system is tops, and the driving experience is like none other. The paint on the car is beautiful and I am trying to preserve this car because I do not think that there will be another like it. The body style commands attention, what can I say except that this car has earned the number one place from me!

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!😁

Just bought a lightly used '07 with 4000 miles. Just love it! The interior stands up against the Mercedes SL while being $40k less. Wanted a luxurious, smooth ride, with pep when I want it. This car is absolutely perfect! And the reliability of Lexus makes it a real no-brainer!

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.
