Timeless Masterpiece

After 20 years of dreaming, I found my Egyptian Sand Pearl ‘03 beauty with 142910 original miles. Got most of its records and it had great care! I have changed all the fluids and timing belt water-pump Tensioner, thermostat, hoses & radiator to drive everyday in the summer and fall! Mileage on super has been 19.8 to 22 mpg mostly city driving ! It has been nothing short of a fantastic cruiser! Make sure you do the tb and wp every 9 yrs or 90000 miles and the engine will be bulletproof.

Truly a luxury sport car

This is a fun, smooth, peppy, beautiful car. I love it. Amazing interior. Great to ride with top down. One of the best cars I have ever owned,

Most Fun comfortable reliable car I have owned

This car has been on several trips to Florida. I have never broken down in this car. Its lot of fun and I feel safe driving it because it handles better than any car I have ever owned. I hate to give it up,but I have to pay for another car I bought that I spent more than I intended. My loss is your gain.

Solid car with lots of pep.

This car is like a tank...very safe but drives live a race car with quickness and agility...its a joy to drive. No issues ever with this car and it is sleek and sexy, great for a summer drive to the beach or a fall drive up to the mountains. Love it!!

Destined to be a classic !

I am a big Lexus fan so when my wife decided that she wanted an SC430 I was very excited. Just on the legendary 4.3L V8 alone it was a no brainer but combine that with full power hardtop convertible , rear wheel drive, and all of the luxury and quality that Lexus puts into everything that they make , this car is a winner.

Stylish, comfortable, fast, and reliable

By far the best car I’ve owned. I am planning on buying a newer model of the same car. Smooth ride, yet firm enough to be a sports car.

The car of my dreams

This car is a 15 year goal come to fruition. When I'm driving it, it feels like I'm in a dream. I truly love everything about this car and it has met all my expectations. Today I put it to bed for the next few winter months and can hardly wait until March 2019 arrives .

Not a true sports car but a sporty looking car.

Runs great with stylish interior and exterior. Ride is somewhat shaky with top down. But overall it's a very nice car. Excellent reliability for a car that's 15 years old.
