Default Just bought 2002 SC 430 Black over Saddle
I had been looking for a few months for a reasonably priced SC 430 with the right color combination but nothing was really jumping out at me until I was vacationing in Phoenix with buddies for a golf vacation and came across this black beauty at Arrowhead Lexus. It was mine the next day! It has 80K miles, had timing belt and water pump replaced awhile ago, new tires, and in overall great condition.

It drove like a dream during the 900 mile drive home to Boise. I already ordered new trunk support struts as the lid occasionally closes on it's own. I ordered the Wisconsin Auto Supply ones for $32/pair. Next step will be to replace the front door speaker foam which I understand Lexus is known for.

Overall we love the vehicle, it's killing me keeping it in the garage until the rain stops since I've waxed it three times already

Very nice color combination. Are those stock wheels? What did it go for out the door?

Wow, that's shiny. Does that black come with clear coat? My old 2GS didn't.

Very Nice - That's the color combo of my 2007, and I love it. Only difference is that on mine the inside windshield surround and visors are black.

AGAIN, VERY NICE and ENJOY!

The wheels are OEM, just that the previous owner had the polished chrome done sometime after initial purchase. I got it for $21K.

I don't think it's clear coated, just very well prepped at the dealer's detail shop. It's even glossier since I've waxed it a few times since getting back from Phoenix.

That's my friend's which we drove down to Phoenix in, he's pretty proud of it which I don't blame him for!

All black Lexus models after 2000 have clear coat.
