My best car EVER! RIP at 332,000 miles!!! I bought my SC430 in October 2001 and had it until December 13, 2016, due to a freak accident in my own backyard! I changed the Alternator ONCE in May 2016 and the Starter and Pully ONCE in August 2016! I changed the timing belt THREE times at every 100,000 miles. Other than the usual brake change and service/maintenance, there were no major issues. I pray to have another car such as this. I cannot live without the refinement of this vehicle. Lexus, please and please in the name of Jesus, BRING BACK THE SC430!

This car is a complete joy. Two of my best friends also drive the Lexus SC430, and we all agree. It's the most fun, feel-good car we've ever driven! I enjoy the ease of the retractable hardtop and love the design/look of this car. People stop to compliment this beautiful Lexus.

This is a great reliable car. Workmanship is excellent. Our last car was a 2005 Corvette and it spent many days at the repair shop. This car has never had any repair problems and it has 36,000 miles on it. I would strongly recommend this car.

The jewel of Lexus, 07/28/2020
2006 Lexus SC 430 2dr Convertible (4.3L 8cyl 6A)

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.
