Some Sunday we should meet for a cup of coffee or cocktail. We bought the car in Melbourne and have looked at a couple cars a little further south. We are always looking for another one.

Good afternoon all!

I've been a lurker on ClubLexus for quite some time. Finally got back and discovered the SC 430 Forum.
I got my 2005 SC 430 in 2007 with 25,000 miles on it. I love it!

Here's my information:
1. Exterior color: Black
2. Interior color: Charcoal
3. Audio options (Mark Levinson): Yes
4. Other major options or packages:
Not sure of what was considered standard and optional for this model.
5. Any modifications:
Got rid of the run-flat tires and bought a spare tire kit
Changed the rims for Black rims -- still have my chrome rims in the garage.
6. Anything you want to mention (others considered, previous Lex owner, etc)

I haven't taken any pictures but will soon. There is one thing that has always bugged me...the leather covering of the rear-seat passenger side head rest seems to have shrunk or something. Anyone know where to get something like that replaced in Southern California?

Thanks!

There was one in California that treated leather issues, though I don't know if he'll replace the leather like you'll need. See post #15
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc4...placement.html

Or check out this out where another one of our members (BGW) did it himself and did a bang up job. You'll only need his instructions to do the head rests though.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Haha! I love the movie/docu and it was the first thing I thought of when I was considering names for my new girl since she is grey. I’m getting a vanity tag with it on there . My white GX is Betty White and my black GX was black betty. My RXs were loretta lexus and lashonda lexus .

Smile Welcome to Club Lexus! SC430 owner roll call & member introduction thread

Hi CL members!
I'm Paul from Fort Saskatchewan, ALBERTA, Canada where if you blink you may miss summer!
(I am late to the party as I just found this thread last night but have already used the forum for help with several issues).
My 2005 SC430 is millenium silver metallic with a cream interior. I really wanted a white SC but was tired of waiting...I'm not getting any younger!
It has the standard ML system with NAV (and I think the back speakers are toast!).
There are no other options or mods...for now.
This little lady started her road trip in the Huntsville, Alabama area where she was ridden hard, just over 50k miles in two years.
She then came up to Canada by way of Georgia where she was treated much more gently, driven only a few thousand miles a year by the proverbial little old lady :+).
When I purchased her last month with just over 72k miles she was definitely underloved mechanically. I just finished investing almost another $2k in parts and labour and now she is ready to go forth fearlessly.
She is not a garage queen but definitely a driveway princess!
