Default Thinking about buying an 06 and up SC, but....

I would like to get an 06 and newer SC of great condition. A few I have seen so far have cosmetic blemishes that are off putting, most commonly paint chips and worn dirty leather. My question to you owners is: how successful can you touch up scratches/chips with Lexus tubes, especially the pearl white color and restore worn/dirty leather? Thanks much.

Hi there

You can find a clean white pearl SC as long as you are patient and can pull the trigger as soon as you see the car listed.
I bought an 02 SC recently with 44K on it . I was very particular and wanted one with no paintwork and this 02 fit the bill.
The interior also was white " Ecru" and again it was flawless . I did pay slightly over retail and upgraded
the taillights to the LEDs 06-10

Love the white and you will too when you find the car
good luck

Looks good! That "Ecru" is so hard to find in flawless condition. Out of all Lexus color combos white/white are nearly impossible to touch up on paint or restore the leather to original glory.
