This 2002 Lexus SC430 was purchased by the seller in 2002 and now has 45k miles. The car is finished in Black Onyx over black leather upholstery, and it is powered by a 4.3-liter V8 mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes a power-retractable hardtop, HID headlights, fog lights, 18″ wheels, heated power-adjustable front seats, navigation, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, a Mark Levinson sound system, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo with an in-dash CD changer. The timing belt and water pump were replaced in July 2024. This SC430 is now offered at no reserve with the owner’s manual, service records, and a clean Colorado title in the seller’s name.
The SC430 replaced the SC300/400 sport coupes and was only available as a convertible with a body-color power-retractable hardtop. This example is finished in Black Onyx (202) and features HID headlights, fog lights, power-adjustable side mirrors, a rear spoiler, and dual exhaust outlets. A March 2002 Carfax report entry notes that the vehicle was damaged in multiple places and was towed, though no further details are available. Scratches in the paint are evident around the body.
The 18″ dish-style five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with 245/40 Pirelli tires. The car is equipped with traction control and four-wheel independent double-wishbone suspension, and braking is handled by four-wheel disc brakes with ventilated front rotors. The front brake pads were replaced in April 2023 and the rear struts were replaced in July 2024. Curb rash is visible on the wheels.
The cabin seating surfaces are upholstered in black leather, while wood trim accents the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include heated and power-adjustable front bucket seats, front-seat position memory, twin rear seats, navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, a nine-speaker Mark Levinson sound system, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo with an in-dash six-disc CD changer. The upholstery on the rear seat headrests is separating.
The wood- and leather-trimmed steering wheel fronts a 180-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer indicates 45k miles, approximately 37k of which were added under current ownership.
The 4.3-liter 3UZ-FE V8 features dual overhead camshafts as well as VVT-i variable valve timing. Factory-rated output was 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission. In July 2024 the timing belt, water pump, and tension bearings were replaced.
The Carfax report shows the aforementioned damage report.
