Considering the low sales volume, though, I would take this with a large grain of salt....

SC430 sales volume wasn't low in it's first few years, 14K units/year first couple years, and ~10k units the next couple.
It's because they decided not to significantly upgrade the car for too long that resulted in the low sales volume of the last few years ...

A totally redesigned new one should do at least as well as the new SC430 did when it was first introduced ...

Let's hope that it's inspired by the LFA. And with that I could live with a ragtop

Mine was sold before the new SL came out for twice the price. Quite a bargin back then.

PS Gojirra99 I hate your avatar. I have been staring at it for two hours, and just can't walk away...

I understand the peace of mind that comes with buying brand new. BUT the price difference does not justify for buying new. its a toyota, these things dont break down. normal maintenance isn't that expensive either. im a fan of buying used. as you can see im loving my 8 year old car that looks even better than what currently in the lexus showrooms yet i paid less than half the price.
