Now that it's out of production, our cars can only get more rare.
That's not the same as more valuable, but it's still nice.

I was filling up today and in the time it took to pump 15.3 gallons of gas three people commented on the car. You can't beat that!

As I was parallel parking the SC with the top down, a lady on the sidewalk stopped and shouted "THAT'S GORGEOUS!"

I turned and smiled, thinking she was talking about me. :D

She asked if my '02 was the brand new Lexus that just came out. I had to tell her that it was a 13 year old car. I think she experienced a hot flash at that moment.

I :agreed: cougars.

Similar story though I think this lady was not exactly the cougar type. Parked my Twilight Amethyst Pearl SC in the corner spot at the local tavern. Lady pulls up right next to me in a white 911 Cabriolet ( my guess would be a well maintained 2005-2010 Porsche - sorry not too good at differentiating 911s). She gets out and says, "Now that's a beautiful car. That was the car I really wanted with the hard top convertible and all. And its a lovely color too. I'm settling for this (Porsche) which is nice and all but I really wanted your car "

We had a nice short conversation about our cars before she walked off with her short blonde hair bobbing a little in the evening breeze.

SC trumps 911 - not bad for my 9 year old 68k mile daily driver ....

As our SC start to enter its " twilight years ",
I think this Lexus will start getting more and more attention from many car fans .

I never really understood why the SC received lukewarm reviews when it first came out.

I have owned BMW 635CSI and the car was always in for repairs . When I finally got rid of my 6, I decide to get an SC
and the 04 51K miles have been a blast to drive and own

I'm not really sure either. I can't believe that Jeremy Clarkson at Top Gear called it the worst car ever. All my friends truly rag on me for that review. Other than that aspect, they love riding with me any chance they can. I still get tons of compliments and see people breakin' necks whenever I drive around town. Even had other SC430 owners follow me to compliment on the mods. Pretty sad to have the Clarkson stigmata.

Our Sc430s in our driveway yesterday.

It was a beautiful day to cruise with the top down.

Today I picked up my 9 year old Grandson from school and a cute teacher said Nice Car.
