I hesitated to post a picture of my completely stock SC; however, she's a 2002 Indigo Ink Pearl that now has just 55,000 miles on it. Of course everybody thinks their color combo is the best, but I'm sure the Indigo/Saddle leather combo is the best. So, I had to show her off a bit.
I am a newbie to the forum and am very grateful to learn a lot from all of you. I just bought my very first Lexus last week – what's so funny is that I was out shopping for an SUV because I am a musician and need room to carry my keyboard and my equipment. But when I saw this 2004 Lexus SC 430, it was love at first sight and I just had to have it! So I pulled out all my gear out of my old Mercury Grand Marquis and voilà! My keyboard fits in that tiny backseat! So unlike many of you SC430 owners, the backseat of mine will probably be the trunk from now on. But that's OK – it's a lot hipper than the grandpa car I used to drive. I learned from one of your threads the trick of removing the plastic tray that holds the jack and lug wrench and using a thin donut spare placed at a 45° angle so that I can use what little trunk space there is. I ordered a donut spare for my car and can't wait to try this little trick I learned from the form. If there are any members from the Las Vegas area I would be delighted to hear from you so we can share ideas of how to maintain these beautiful cars without breaking the bank!
I had a Lincoln Mark VIII before, and was worried all my tools I use for IT related work would not fit. However with some creativity, I was able to fit all the major items in the trunk that I need, and have a little bit of room left over. If I go shopping and run out of the remaining room in the trunk, I then use the back seat just like you, and with most of the SC430's I see its pretty much the same thing. I have never seen a person in the back seat of any SC430 before yesterday, when I took my mother and step father to my brothers party at his house. My mom is small, but it was still pretty tight for her. Petite people, children, or adults that spread over the whole rear seat are going to fit the best.
Taken a couple days ago at my brothers house.. Large party with family and friends.. Most of the people parked on the street so it left the driveway open. Nobody said a damn thing about the Lambo, but people liked my SC!
I am seriously digging this car, and really look forward to enhancing it tastefully with some bolt-ons, and enjoying it for a very long time!
I would love to paint my SC this same shade of Blue!
My brothers new'ish Audi right next to my new baby - His car spends too much time in the shop!!
