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.

Bought a used car from here and the staff did such an amazing job. Bao was such a nice salesman and made the whole process easy. Joaquin the finance manager did a wonderful job getting us through the process. Will be return customers from now on!

Never a "have to have it" kind of car guy until I saw, researched and drove this car. It's a solid, powerful, and super slick cabriolet that only catches the eye of the passionate. It has a beautiful saddle leather interior with gorgeous wood details and a really good stereo that rivals todays' car stereos. It has strong and silent 4.3 V8 that is top of the list reliable. I bought my 2002 in 2023 and fixed a few things with the audio system and is now a low-mile like-new car. I love driving it when I can and will til I can't drive anymore.

I recently purchased a 2025 Honda HR-V Sport from Corwin
I recently purchased a 2025 Honda HR-V Sport from Corwin Honda, and I want to give special recognition to Morgan Holt. From start to finish, Morgan made the process smooth, straightforward, and stress-free. Even when I had concerns or felt uncertain, Morgan went above and beyond to make sure I got into the right vehicle and felt confident about my purchase. He stayed responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about getting me taken care of—even following up with me regarding my loan documents. What stood out most was Morgan’s commitment to customer service. He didn’t just sell me a car; he made sure the entire experience was positive and that I left feeling supported. It’s rare to find someone this dedicated in sales, and I absolutely commend him for it. If you’re looking to buy a vehicle, I highly recommend asking for Morgan Holt—you won’t regret it.
LOVE THIS CAR
I looked for a sc430 for about a year finally found a 2002 that was owned by a retired dentist this thing is cherry it still needs struts and a radiator along with timing belt. Already fixed oil leaks and tires along with control arms.153 thousand miles and it turns heads fun to drive love this car much more than my 350 Z

I worked with Kevin and Mike when I was in a pinch for a new vehicle after mine was deemed a total loss after hitting a deer. They were very patient as I could not decide between several vehicles. Their vehicles are very clean and priced right. I am very happy with my new vehicle.
Solid Reliable Beautiful Convertible
I purchased a 2002 SC430, black on black, with only 49,000 miles on it. Love everything about the car, it's looks, how it drives. I keep it in ECT Power mode to get that bit more impooh when I hit the accelerator. Since it's a Lexus, I'm not worried about reliability and only having to do basic maintenance. The only major upgrade to the car I've done is new tires and a rearview camera. Minor upgrades have been bluetooth and some new lighting.

Fantastic reliable car at unbeatable value
These cars are an amazing value. Quite simply many people hate the styling. Hence a low price. Nothing I write matters on this. You like it or don’t or put up with it for the value. The interior is simply stunning. Other than a Bentley I had no other car I’ve seen is nicer inside. Quality materials. Nice leather. Stunning real wood. And unlike anything else a way to cover the nav screen with a wood door. Stereo is excellent. Ride quality is fantastic for long trips. No. Not a super fast car in corners. Fast enough and very comfortable. Engine is silky smooth and whisper quiet. Except when you floor it you get that v8 growl. Again not a dragster but plenty powerful enough. The roof is magic. A hardtop coupe most of the time but a fantastic open top with minimal buffeting. Reliable. Very reliable. Excellent Lexus service if needed. Our 2004 has merely 60k miles and zero repairs. Many of these are low miles. Toyota reliability is a great comfort. Big and heavy and safe. Plenty of airbags and great brakes. Mass is safer than lighter cars. Do the negative? It is not easy on gas. Styling is either love or hate. Navigation system cannot be updated and CarPlay is not available although there are kits to add it including nav music and phone. So the electronic toys are dated. To give you an idea my new car is a Porsche 911. Modern. But on long trips or just getting from A to Z the Lexus is first choice. Porsche is more modern and exciting but … not as beautiful inside nor comfortable. I totally recommend this if the styling and gas mileage and electronics are not an issue. The value is unbelievable and unbeatable.

Best experience buying from a used dealership Nathan took
Best experience buying from a used dealership Nathan took great car of us 6 years ago when we bought my husband's chevy 6 years ago and today we bought a chevy tahoe. Their prices are fair and customer service was great we will definitely be back for any future purchases
A beautiful big Surprise
We were looking for a Lexus Sedan for my wife, and I wanted a more sporty vehicle. In the past I’ve had Vettes and several 380Z’s, as I aged it was not as easy to get into and out of. So we never had heard of the LexusSC until the salesman at the dealership said I think I have the perfect car for you. He said I think you’ll love the LexusSC we got in a week ago. A 2004 convertible with 32,000 miles. Silver with a black interior. That peaked our interest and we drove it. We fell in love. A silver Beauty with a retractable electric convertible top. Sold! We’ll have this one for a long time. We’re both in our 80’s so who knows how long we’ll be around to enjoy this little honey of an auto. We’ll do our best.

I have had a Lexus 430 SC for 8 years I love this car.I had a Mita before,.wanted a heavier car to drive on the interstate.this car is a dream very smooth ride. Easy top Down....had very little problems. It's unique and beautiful....I love the back seat..great for a dog or child or your coat and purse. . The mita had nothing...no it's not for everyone, but I like it....better than any new car....Getting ready for a new timing Belt , which they say will take care of most of the maintenance for long time. It is a 2004. They only made this car 2002 to 2010..

"Best Dealer Hands Down " I bought couple car for me and
"Best Dealer Hands Down " I bought couple car for me and my family from Speedy Car Sales . It was the best cars buying experience ever. Mike & Ellie so educated and always says, "Customer always first" and also He always put himself in customer side to do best for them.they have really nice cars priced great. I will definitely buy another car here.i love that they provide the Carfax vehicle history online and put price on window of each car.Great quality cars and awesome staff. We searched high and low for a quality vehicle at an affordable price. Not only did I find it at "Speedy Car Sale " but we found quality customer service to go along with it. Mike and Ellie were patient, took the time and answered all our questions and concerns and has been a pleasure to work with before and after the sale and that is very hard to find in the car dealership industry. They are running a quality business with integrity & honesty. I highly recommend " Speedy Car Sales " 2134 Fulton Avenue Sacramento CA 95825
A fine automobile
I previously owned a Nissan late model 370Z. My wife stressed about riding in it even when driven with her anxieties in mind. I replaced it with a 2002 SC430 with an indigo blue paint job, that I love. Like many other reviews, I had all struts replaced, new timing belt and water pump and new tires (got run flats but regular pneumatic smoother). Engine and tranny runs smooth as silk. A/C is ice cold. Mileage was 145,000, no accidents. Interior is extremely clean with white leather seats. In four months ownership, I have had several inquisitors ask about the car. Complements too. Drive this for the design beauty, quality ride and sound mechanical attributes. I don’t put much value in calls for classic status, just as I doubt Beanie Babies value. Own it for your personal satisfaction.

Truck
I was looking for a good truck, and they found me a great truck. They got me financed without hassle. Great experience. I recommend this dealership.
Sexy Lexy
I love driving this car! It may be an older vehicle, but feels solid and reliable. You can enjoy a well insulated coupe, or drop the top for open air driving! Mine is "fun" car, so I do not drive it in winters or bad weather. I plan to keep this beast forever. The only real downsides are the cupholders and back seats are basically useless!! If you can find a nice example of an SC430.....get it while you can! This car is not a true "sports" car, but it was also not intended to be. I think that is why some people wrote this car off because it's big and heavy, so not the greatest cornering machine. If you want a comfortable and reliable convertible, then look no further. I am still blown away at how solid this car is after nearly 20 years. I like knowing that even when I'm older, I should still be able to drive this car comfortably since it rides reasonably smooth for a car this low to the ground. Try driving a corvette or something like that and I bet the suspension will cause some discomfort in your older years. If you do not plan on driving the SC430 year round, then I suggest getting a trickle charger (for winter) because the battery will die....I know from experience!

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.

great car can be better with a few mods
Did not love the styling at first but it's really growing on me.Looks way better in person than pictures. Very comfortable ride and quiet, top up or down. If you want to address the acceleration concern look to sc430mods.com they sell an accelerator modulator $99. It turns this car into a beast! and you can vary the rate of acceleration. This makes the car xxxx and git. love the mod, plug and play too. Also someone ask about backup camera, they also have a plug and play camera set up that lets you go right through the nav system, come on in reverse and goes back to nav all the rest of the time. Also added a bluetooth receiver $20 on amazon. my 2002 has a aux in the back so it plugs right in, press fm if aux comes up on screen it has a direct connect, sounds awesome. only early models had this I think. This is one great car!

Bought a Kia Telluride from Tony. He took a lot of time with me and was super informative on all aspects of the car buying process. I compared his price to other dealers and it was very competitive.
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!!

Top notch business
I spent several hours talking with the owner and found him professional, helpful, patient, and highly knowledgable. Buying a car can be a daunting experience, so it's important to have the seller be all the things I mentioned. I ended up not making a purchase, but I learned more about the model and make, and learned more about the market on used cars. Some of the other reviews have said things about the owner that made me cautious and uncertain about what I was going to experience. The owner is not a vulture; he's professional; he was communicative and super helpful. I highly recommend calling to make an appointment and simply allowing him to inform you of the product.

Wonderful Ferrari Purchase experience
I recently sold my 2017 Ferrari California T to Ferrari of Atlanta and purchased a 2019 488 Spider from them. I dealt with Richard Jennings at their dealership for my transaction. Richard was superbly helpful and always available for any questions I had or any information I needed. He could not have been kinder or more understanding and clearly has a great deal of integrity. I would recommend Richard Jennings and Ferrari of Atlanta for anyone considering a Ferrari purchase or sale. You will not be disappointed. M Mayes
Not withstanding the wheels
I have an ‘05 in indigo ink pearl, it drives super smooth and looks great! A lot of people have no love for the wheels, but I think it just adds to the unique quirky nature of the car, personally I love them. A good thing about the wheels, is they can be changed to something even more hideous, if you like. This car is never going to light the world on fire, but most people that see it, have never seen one before and I get compliments all the time.
