This 2002 Lexus SC430 spent time in California and Arizona before the seller’s acquisition on BaT in July 2022 and now has 29k miles. Subsequent service included mounting Michelin tires and replacing the timing belt and water pump. It is powered by a 4.3-liter V8 mated to a five-speed automatic transmission and is finished in Millennium Silver Metallic over black leather. The car is equipped with a power-retractable hardtop, a rear spoiler, HID headlights, 18″ wheels, heated power-adjustable front seats, navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a Kenwood head unit with Apple CarPlay. This SC430 is offered with a window sticker, the owner’s manual, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Indiana 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 Millennium Silver Metallic (1C0) and features HID headlights, fog lights, a rear decklid spoiler, power-adjustable side mirrors, and dual exhaust outlets. The seller notes paint protection film was applied to the front panels under current ownership. Close-up photos of blemishes along the body can be seen in the gallery.
The 18″ dish-style five-spoke alloy wheels wear 245/40 Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires that were mounted in February 2023. The car is equipped with traction control and four-wheel independent double-wishbone suspension, and braking is handled by four-wheel discs with ventilated front rotors. The brake and power steering fluids were flushed in June 2023.
The heated and power-adjustable front bucket seats have position memory settings and are upholstered in black leather that extends to the twin rear seats. Wood trim accents the cabin, and additional amenities include navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, and a Kenwood head unit with Apple CarPlay. Kenwood lower door speakers were installed in March 2023, and the removed stereo will accompany the car.
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 29k miles, approximately 7k 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. The timing belt and water pump were replaced in July 2022. The battery was replaced in February 2023, and an oil change was performed in June 2023.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission, which received a fluid flush in June 2023. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery.
The window sticker shows initial delivery to Fresno Lexus of Fresno, California, along with factory equipment and a total price of $62,580.
The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage.
