Default New Owner 2003 SC430 Love it!!!

3 weeks in with my SC430 completely love it, didn't realize it would turn so many heads when the top is down. Today was my first day able to drive with the top down here in SC it was 70%. Drives even better when the top is off. This was my wifes dream car so I made it a reality. Completely different ride when Im not in my SC400.

It looks to be in really great shape! Post up more pictures!
How many miles?
How much did you pay, if you do not mind sharing!
I have owned mine about as long as you and for the same reason, it is the wife's car to drive and in my case, for me to fix all of the little issues ;-)
I hope yours was maintained by the previous owner...
BTW, we paid $15k, 63k miles.

Congratulations and welcome to the Club Lexus forum. Members are very helpful and there's a ton of good information. Take a look at the FaQs and other posts in the 'sticky' section . Advanced search is your friend too! We still have snow up in VA - am waiting for better weather.

Was at the Costco gas station yesterday and a lady in a Honda Accord pulls up behind me and asks if we can swap cars. You know what the answer was ...

I've had compliments to the SC from a lady in an older 911 Cabriolet as well.

Congrats OP and many happy miles to you in your SC.

It had a pretty great carfax service report. Serviced regularly with 212k miles I forked over $7200 for it with the great condition it was in it retailed for about $10,500 so I knew it was a pretty good deal from my research. Absolutely no service lights come on. It only had 2 previous owners first owner was a lease. My wife was not going to rest until I bought her one. The top opens and closes without a hitch, this car is a real head turner. It feels good to have the title to this well maintained beauty.

Enjoy. These are special cars, once you understand the functionality that Lexus targeted - luxury drop-top sportyish cruiser.
