I bought my 2002 on April 14, 2001. It has 34,375 miles & a few upgrades.

I got on the waiting list in 1999 when the SC was a (purple) "concept car." I was #12 on the list. I picked up my car on April 28, 2001, (over 10 years ago) at which time there were 150 on the list behind me. As others have noted, I like it more now then when I first got it, and it still generates favorable comments and turns heads. I have about 35,000 miles on it, and a lot of that is in making some long (6-12 hour) trips.
I keep looking around, but don't see anything I would rather have at the moment.

Dec 2010 the 04 WGC premiered with Twisties.

Couple of upgrades later, gives me satisfaction every time I take her for a ride. And the best part, the wife enjoys it equally. Win-win.

That's why I bought a Lexus......I'll keep it for long time since it will be a summer/weekend car anyway.

I picked up my 03 white gold crystal/saddle in Feb of this year after I totaled the box. I've always wanted one of these since the first time I saw them. So upgrade me!!!

I was just playing with you, it is also the reason I love Lexus, is because they are trouble free and last a very long time. I keep my cars for a very long time too, I hate buying and selling. I buy what I want and never want to change it

I've had my 02 WCG three summers now. It is a great car, but all those gawkers trying to catch a passing glimpes of it is worrisome ----ha ha. The sun just came out, gotta go now.

Saw a beautiful 2002 in the dealership back in 2002, and said "some day, I will have this car."

Took until 2009 to get my 04.

Now I have Eboni, and I plan on keeping her forever!

I bought my 2006 with 27,000 4 months ago and can't stop staring at it! Just took it on a 1200 mile trip and love driving it. Only wish it came with a manual tranny!

I purchased my '02 in July '06. I liked them ever since the first time I saw them.
