Best Car I have Owned.
This is my third SC430. My wife and I love this car. The stylish lines are timeless. The build quality is unmatched, the reliability is insane. I cannot believe that Lexus stopped building such an excellent vehicle. Their new converts can not compare.

SC 430
This car is a refined sports car which may be too tame for some, but just right for others. It does not offer the excitement of a 911, Viper or Z06, but it does have creature comforts and fit and finish which is beyond reproach. Having owned many other roadsters, I can tell this is the one I'll keep for a while to come.

What a beautiful car
It is the car that you cannot keep your eyes off of. Perfect in almost every aspect.
A classy ride
I'm now 72 years old and have owned many fine nameplates in the past including BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and Audi. This car is an engineering masterpiece and a joy to own in its own right. I love top down cruising in the countryside with that smooth V-8 under my right foot. Turning on the Mark Levinson to my favorite tunes adds to the pleasure. It's a style that grows on you not unlike the new Mercedes SL, and for a lot less money. When it is replaced next year I doubt there will be another quite like it.
Run flat tires
I love driving this car but I have serious problems with tires separating from the rim. Within the last 4 months, I had to replace 3 tires at $400 each. The car does not even have 15K on it. I am an experienced driver but have never experienced such a problem. I believe that the Dunlap run flat tires are of an inferior quality and need improvement. Lexus dealer informed me that these tires are much thinner on the outer portion of the tire. Maybe that is the problem but we as consumers should not suffer from that! When one buys a $65,000 car, he or she should expect quality including the quality of the tires.
2007 SC430 Pebble beach Edition
Purchased this car used with only 7000 miles. This car has exceeded my expectations in all respects. The engineering, fit and finish are beyond reproach. The only concern is the run flat tires. I got the P.B. Edition and love it. I doesn't compare to Porsche, but wasn't designed to do so. A great car for me at 66 yrs.
BRING BACK THE SC430!!!!!
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!

Great value - top down fun
A great value on the used car "fun" market. Sure there are more expensive converts, but this one has been a fun, affordable and reliable. All good - thumbs up!
Wonderful to Drive
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.
SC 430
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.
