I drove up to Seattle Washington from Eugene, Oregon to purchase this 2002 Lexus SC430 with 88,000 miles. But after getting there I was shocked on what type of condition it was in. The price was amazing, about $11,300 for the car white on black.
The problems:
-The front fender was a bit off to the right with the hood down, not noticeable but the fender needed to be pulled on the right to make it fixed.
-The car was repainted and was done horrible, it was mixed with the original white/with a off white mixed in on some spots of the car. (mainly on the doors)
-The passenger window was on the frits. When I would pressed down on auto-mattic from the drivers side it would go up then down them up.
On the top of the convertible part a 2 x 2 inch of fabric was missing.
The leather was in okay shape no rips, but the passenger door the leather by the window was peeling, maybe just carefully glue down?
The gas petal you kinda had to press down to give it any gas.

And mainly what made me not get it was that both the navigation and sound system cover didn't work. It was stuck inside the dash. My question is does anyone know how much this would cost to be done? The fixing the dash and sound cover board?

 

That's about as cheap as you will ever get a SC430 for, but I bet it will cost you more in the long run as an expensive one. Your way better of paying $18,000.00 for a cleaner car.

 

I'd pass on this. You're gonna spend 3-5k alone to get it repainted. I think you'd feel much better getting a car that looks great and is at a decent price. The $11,300 price tag is VERY cheap, but with all these flaws, there's a reason why it is.

Save yourself the hassle, and keep looking.

 

this price is great for a build car

 

Sounds like the car was in some kind of accident before.

 

I smell salvage title.. Could be a big headache should you purchase. Know what your getting into.
