Lexus is what you get when Toyota decides to apply themselves towards making the best luxury car that Japan can come up with. The brand debuted in the United States in 1990, with the Lexus LS400. This flagship full-size luxury sedan is revered to this day for its sheer reliability, comfortable ride, and smooth V8 engine. Naturally, Lexus would reveal a grand tourer as well, which they did in 1992, as the Lexus SC. If you’ve always wanted a Nineties Lexus in your life (because let’s face it, they are superbly good cars even two or three decades later), consider this 131,000-mile 1997 Lexus SC400. It’s a fine example of Toyota’s bulletproof build quality in a luxury setting.
Exterior and Interior
This 1997 Lexus SC400 comes in plain black coat, replete with reportedly original stripes. Meanwhile, we’ve got all new Michelin tires and new headlamps to freshen up this car. You might not immediately know it, but the first-generation SC is closely related to the A80 Supra. Come to think of it, you can now see a few cosmetic similarities here and there, now that we’ve raised the point. The four-seat interior of this 1997 Lexus SC400 comes with highlights such as automatic climate control, power windows, cruise control, and a Lexus premium sound system that can play CDs and cassette tapes. The current owner says that the beige leather interior is new, and it certainly looks inviting. We’re also told that the air conditioning compressor is reportedly new, so the AC should blow ice cold. Meanwhile, there’s a power tilt-and-slide sunroof, for when you want to let the sun in. We must point out how the interior retains its original theme as far as possible. You’ll even find a car phone in the center console. Then, you pop the trunk and marvel at how much luggage you can easily pack in there.
Engine
This 1997 Lexus SC400 comes with a strong and smooth 4.0L V8, driving the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic gearbox. The engine is good for around 260hp as per factory figures, giving you strong acceleration when called for. Meanwhile, the car’s front and rear double wishbone suspension with coil springs provides a comfortable ride, but this car isn’t afraid of a little bit of sporty driving. Front and rear ventilated disc brakes are standard too, to corral the V8’s power when needed.

At a time when luxury automakers were experimenting with innovative convertible designs, the Lexus SC 430 emerged as one of the most refined grand touring convertibles on the market. This 2003 Lexus SC 430, showing just 54,607 miles, combines timeless styling, exceptional build quality, and Lexus reliability into a package that remains highly desirable more than two decades after its debut. Powered by a smooth 4.3-liter V8 and featuring a power retractable hardtop, the SC 430 delivers the comfort of a luxury coupe and the enjoyment of an open-top roadster. Finished in elegant Millennium Silver Metallic over Ecru leather, this example presents an excellent opportunity to own a well-preserved luxury cruiser from Lexus’ golden era.
Luxury hardtop convertibles are a dying breed, which makes this 2008 Lexus SC 430 Pebble Beach Edition an increasingly desirable modern classic. Showing just 45,905 miles, this limited-production grand touring convertible was created to celebrate Lexus’ long-standing partnership with the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Combining Lexus reliability with elegant styling and a silky-smooth V8 powerplant, the SC 430 offers a refined driving experience that remains just as enjoyable today as it was when new. Finished in exclusive Smoky Granite Mica and equipped with the highly sought-after Pebble Beach Edition package, this example represents a unique opportunity to own one of the final luxury retractable hardtop convertibles from Lexus.
As naturally aspirated V8 performance sedans become increasingly rare, the 2025 Lexus IS 500 F SPORT Performance Ultimate Edition stands as a fitting celebration of one of the industry’s last breed-defining sports sedans. Limited to just 500 units for North America, this example is even more special as it is #14 of 500 produced and shows a mere 174 miles from new. Finished in exclusive Wind paint over a Circuit Red and Black Ultrasuede interior, the Ultimate Edition combines Lexus reliability with a 472-horsepower V8 soundtrack that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in today’s marketplace. Enhanced with forged BBS wheels, unique interior appointments, a Mark Levinson audio system, and factory-installed accessories, this limited-production sport sedan offers collectors and enthusiasts a rare opportunity to own what may ultimately be remembered as one of Lexus’ greatest modern performance cars.
