I just bought the 2002 Lexus sc430
By Gail Serra | on 12/8/2024 10:14:46 PM
I bought this car because I have admired it for a long time now. I would rather have a classic than a new car. I always wanted a convertible and this car has the best of both sports car style and classy ride combined. I was in the market for a car but decided to get what I wanted.. I have a few things I need to update on the car like the Navigation system. I need to problem solve whatis going on with inside dome lights so I decided to learn more about it and just do it myself. As far as drivability is concerned, if you are a driver and not just a steering wheel holder, you will love this car cadence. I haven't tested it on a curb yet but I feel its coming by Spring. The takeoff is smooth and consistent not choppy. It has a lot of power for its size. The sleek body style makes it move effortley on the highway and it rules the backstreets as well. The interior screams class all the way with leather seats and maple wood console and door interior. The automatic top down control is quick and easy. Im not rushing time but Im ready for warmer weather or a road trip to California to visit relatives. Chasing the sunset with the top down and the wind blowing my hair back crazylike. Planned route is I-40 from Phoenix to Bakersfield full throttle. A tank of gas should do it.… - 5.0

Lexus SC-430

I've owned many cars, but the Lexus SC-430 is the best. It's a dependable V-8, and it has plenty of power. Comfortable, quiet ride, and with a hardtop convertible, you don't get a lot of road noise. We have 191,000 miles on it and wouldn't hesitate to drive to Florida anytime.…
