Default Limited edition SC430 Beverly Hills Special Edition/ Tiffany & Co.


Here is my window sticker. I keep hearing about the Pebble Beach limited edition and other limited edition models but never this one.
What's up everyone new to the club wanted to know if anyone ever heard of it been looking around can't find nothing on it, but I know the two paired up to make a special edition Lexus.

Individual dealers can add whatever they want to a car and then call it whatever they want. Pebble Beach is a factory limited edition.

Welcome to the forum!

O.K. I’ll bite. Would you care to share your complete VIN ? To my knowledge there is no “Officially” licensed version named Beverly Hills. There are, or should I say were, Pebble Beach and Neiman-Marcus editions. But, in fact, this IS a dealer added option as clearly stated on the “window sticker” as aftermarket add on. And, there is no doubt in my mind, they charged a higher vanity price for the car. Would you give us the three (3) character paint code? You’ll find it on the ‘B’ pillar inside on the driver’s side.

Last year, when we bought the RAV4 for my wife, we had to pay $1500 extra for the alarm and the thermal guard.

You have 2002 SC430. Your paint code: 202 is Black Onyx. Your interior trim code LA20 is: Black. From the photo of the car someone has changed the OEM wheels. Other add-on were done by a dealer aftermarket. Your car was manufactured in Japan, and most likely in late April 2001.

My 02’s born on date is April 5, 2001, and my VIN’s is about 1200 units prior to yours. If you use the site: https://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/ register - login with the car’s VIN you can see the car’s “service history” at Lexus dealers nationwide.

I completely understand dealership options and add-ons they put on vehicles, I worked for Ford and Honda in the past it's all a numbers game once they hit the showroom floor!!!

Remember the site is just info added by dealers. Any DIY or service done by independent mechanic won’t show UNLESS the owner added the data independently.

So a 2002 MSRP was $61,055. They marked up your car an additional $8,220 for the "Beverly Hills Package" and because in 2002, the cars were extremely rare and in high demand. Treat it well and it will treat you well.

This car would also have been one of the early imports for the 2002 model year. Made in the Spring of 2001, could have been the reason for the add-ons as a “new model and Lexus sport coupe convertible”. It’s service history should show who the original selling dealer was from the PDS, or pre-delivery service. They may have included infomation on the add on package.

The service papers I have when I bought it shows that the car was purchased at Jim falk Lexus of Beverly Hills, & the dealership where I bought the vehicle from in 2016 had 2 SC430 on their lot, a silver 06 and a Black 02. The salesman at the dealership highly suggest I purchase the 2002 and suggested to me that this car was special!!!

I don’t know about “special” it may be unique with the dealer add-ons. The 06 model year was the Lexus “refresh” to the line from the original 02 model year. 06 brought a lot of improvements to: dash, radio electronics, head & taillight, transmission, suspension and a minor face lift to the nose.

Can you take a photo of your headlights? Did you do something to them?
