Hello Everyone!
My first post was on Kat'y age poll the other day. I am following up wth photos of my 2002 SC.
By way of my car's history, she first showed up at Lexus of Palm Beach, FL on 10-22-01. Her production number 1s 401.
After spending the early years in the Miami area, she was put on a transport and followed her owner's job transfer diagonally across the country to Seattle. After a year or so she was put up for sale at which time I was the lucky one to acquire her and a beauty she is, barely a flaw with 41,400 miles and all the paperwork you could ask for. She did have a small dimple/ding just under the driver's door handle so I took her the local Lexus dealer who for $125. would fix it. When they were finished they said that it was 98-99% gone and because it wasn't 100% in their eyes there was no charge. I couldn't tell the difference. Maybe because I was already a customer they gave me a courtesy break. Regardless, I appreciated the gesture.
Anyway, she has found a good home and wil be pampered. Might have to get an electric blanket for her being up north now. Its been 16 months and all is well. I am looking forward to all the future postings on the forum especially now that this classic is out of production.

Welcome, are you sure an electric blanket will be enough. I think you should get the garage heated and soon too. lol She looks like a fine lady. I'm sure she will treat you right in the years ahead.

Welcome JC
Congrats on owning one of the most timeless cars ever produced. I can never see enough of that Ecru interior with the blond wood trim. However I am a little partial
!
Since the SC is out of production I am toying with the idea of a second one. A later year model. One for her. One for me. Seems only logical.......
Good Luck with her.

Beautiful! Thinking about the SC430. A friend of mine's mom might be selling hers. Up until this possibility, I have not looked an SC. Now I am perusing through these threads.
