Have you had any issues or malfunction with the car? I was highly considering purchasing one, however I have a friend who's a mechanic and strongly advises me against it. He said that the quality and built is not great in the long run. He also mentioned that many ppl had problems arise from both hard & soft tops?

@wayneonpark

2 жыл бұрын

@@joannasun9212 First, I don’t know how much faith you should put into your friend’s advice. Any mechanic that claims a Lexus/Toyota build isn’t great is probably not much of a mechanic. Also, what people is he referring to that have had problems? Personally, I think you should choose whichever car you want to drive - no matter what. During the SC 430 build from 2002 through 2010, it had the highest resale of any car in North America per KBB (Kelly Blue Book) and other used car pricing guides, as well. It vastly out beat resale values of Mercedes, BMW, Jags, Range Rovers, and the like. The SC 430 was also called the “Crown Jewell of Lexus” by Lexus. Some call it a “Baby Bently” because of its interior. Today, a low-mileage well maintained SC 430 will still fetch between 25k to 35k here in California - easily. I’ve seen some that have a sticker price of over 50 thousand. Remember, these are twelve- to-twenty-year-old cars. Unbelievable, huh? I firmly believe that these will be very collectible in another dozen or so years. I’m an older guy who’s owned Jaguars, Mercedes, and Cadillacs. They are ALL expensive to maintain. That’s the nature of a premium luxury car. I’ve found over the years, that many luxury car owners neglect servicing their cars. And there lies the problem. I wouldn’t own another Mercedes. To much trouble and to expensive to maintain. I should mentioned that I do own 3 cars. Anyway, I have spent this year, $2200.00 to have the Timing belt and water pump changed (you have to do this every 100K) even though my car only has 40k on the mileage. I spent $2900.00 last year at Lexus when an oxygen sensor melded to the manifold (rare/odd), and I’ve had the bumpers resprayed for a cost of $1500.00 last year, too. Plus regular service costs. Nonetheless, my SC looks like a new car. I’ve never had a problem with the top, it works magnificently. I’ve never heard of anyone having a problem with their top, and they are only “hardtop” no soft tops. I restored a Miata a couple of years ago and the soft top was $1600.00 (the most fun car I’ve ever owned). The engine that is used in the SC is the same non-interference engine that’s put into the Toyota Tundra Truck - just re-torqued. A BRILLIANT engine that will give you years of driving. The car drives similar to a Mercedes SL. People either LOVE it or HATE it. If you can’t afford the maintenance of a used luxury car, find something within your budget that is newer. Remember, check the maintenance of any used car you want to buy - how well has the car been taken care of. I hope all this helps. Good luck!

Dumb question, I'm sure you have had no issues since the 2 years you wrote this? Everyone's telling me NOT to get this car. I'm driving a ls430 right now, built like a tank, never had a major issue with it. The Egyptian Sand color is stunning, mine does not have chrome wheels 🤔. Mine just also needs the chrome or at least polished wheels. I will work on that.

You caught me at my computer early this morning. I love my Lexus SC. I just returned from a drive to the grocery store in the SC while no one was on the road at 6 a.m.. It was delightful! Anyway, I like a lot of different kinds of cars, and I don't want to come across as the SC has to be the only car in the world for me - because it's not. But it is a hell of a car. I love the older LSs like what you've mentioned, and exactly like those LSs, the SC was so well engineered because Lexus was initiating a car brand that would rival Mercedes. People either love or hate the SC. I live in Palm Springs, California, and several of these SC garage queens are out here. And they are beautiful. Snowbirds that own a couple of homes keep an SC in their garage when they return to the desert in October. Nonetheless, here's my best advice. Buy an SC from someone who is reputable and has records of the car's history. It might not be a bad idea to have a mechanic also look at it. You can tell with these cars whether they've been cared for or not. Yet, the reality is that they are 20-year-old cars. Good luck! @@dl733sak

I own a 2010 SC430. Also own a 08 GS460. I'll give you some unexpected drawbacks. No park assist, no backup camera - both of which would really help when you're backing up or parallel parking. No push button start w/ key fob - like my 08 GS has, which didn't make sense. And what's the deal with the wire antenna w/ motor having to go up and down if you need to listen to the radio? That's so 90's. I'm pissed because when I first got it I didn't know about it and went through the car wash w/ the radio on - and ouch. That sucks. It's like Lexus chose not to make these updated upgrades to match other models - didn't want to put in the effort / $$. And I'm experiencing slight wind noise starting at 30mph.

Is it possible to add an aux cord

Yes if you use a cassette to AUX adapter. Best workaround

There's a way to add an aux cord to any car. What that way is depends on the car, but there's a way for every car.

Grom and VAIS Technologies offer a Bluetooth adaptor that plugs into the back of the head unit. You can hide it under the shift culumn. Works great.

It's a great looking car but you have to change the wheels from the get go. All of the stock wheels these came with are fugly.

A GT, a cabrio at that, must always be able to handle properly. This car handled worse than an LS... Why even make it? Why would anyone buy such a turd? If you wanted relaxing long rides, youd get a land yacht like the LS or the GS... Time always passes judgement and this car has been a massive sales flop too. That interior is not impressive nor beautiful... Just well mantained. You think thats special? That glossy woody feel was outdated by 80s standards...

I really love glossy wood in cars! It's also pretty comfy for a convertible
