SC430!?!?!??! i cream in my pants everytime i see one float by

Here's why

1) A reliable hardtop convertible if there ever was such a thing. We are talking about an early 2000's hardtop convertible that doesnt leak (only into the trunk and thats rare as hell), doesnt have any mechanical issues, and has one of the most stout and bulletproof powertrains ever.

2) its comfortable and completely quiet like a luxury vehicle should be. These things have one of the most amazing front seats in automotive history. Its plush, its padded, its very supportive. Like a japanese lazyboy. Hell the seats and leather are so good its on meguires leather cleaner!

Take a seat on one of the best luxury convertibles ever made. Its like a rolls royce drophead. Covered in acres of rich wood and beautiful plush leather while being almost completely silent. Ahhh how lexus has fallen nowadays.

3) ITS CHEAP. under 20k for a car that cost almost 100k equivalent today.

4) This engine series is one toyota's greatest achievements. The engine is so smooth and vibration free that it is one of the only automobile engines capable of aviation use.
https://www.drive2.com/b/1790872/
"In 1997, the US Federal Aviation Administration issued a certificate for the FV2400-2TC aircraft engine. Which was built on the basis of engines series UZ. It was a 360 strong unit, equipped with a double turbo. It was developed in conjunction with Hamilton Standard, which developed an electronic engine management unit. The FV2400-2TC engine was intended for a light four-seat propeller aircraft of civil aviation."


5) last but not least, its moderately quick and i personally think it looks good with the right color combinations. If you want a LUXURY convertible get this.

i just jizzed my pants thinking about the SC again.

I agree with the Meguiars bottle where it says "Caution: Possible eye irritant" in regards to the SC430... it's just not nice to look at.

It's not thaaaat bad. Kinda like a melted potato or an upside down bathtub. Aka pretty to chubby chasers.

It could do "performance" and look like this if you really wanted to. I'm sure some nutjob added a widebody kit and a giant wing.

Ok, I don't love SCs the way Badhobz does. I'd like an SC430, but my goodness, it's not like I'm obsessed over them.

For the prices of SC430, LS430 are more attractive and way cheaper

True, but the sc was the jewel in lexus's crown. The final version was even called the eternal jewel edition. Id trade my Maserati for one of these.

LS is amazing but it ain't a convertible nor did it have those plush ass seats. SC is just magic!

That red and beige interior makes a friggin 90s Vette look attractive. That’s disgusting. On the other hand the exterior ain’t bad...

Yes, the 06+ rides a lot better. Plus you get those nicer led taillights and a different headlight assembly. Worth it.

Seems like the face lift model has unicorn status.

Just a pain in the ass like looking for a Subaru Forester turbo in stick shift, in the proper WRB color.
