If ever there was a car whose derriere generated controversy, it’s got to be the second-generation Lexus SC. Introduced in 2001 and produced until 2010, its rear end has been described as shapely by some, and bloated by others. Regardless of this, it’s a fine luxury grand tourer by Lexus, who is, in case you didn’t know, Toyota’s luxury arm. So, if you buy this 110,000-mile 2003 Lexus SC430, you’re sure to be availing yourself to a luxury car that, unlike almost all other twenty plus year machines, will be in great order. This V8-powered machine is now up for grabs in Naples, Florida, in case you’re tempted.
Exterior and Interior
Wearing a deep purple shade of paint that’s almost black unless well-lit, this 2003 Lexus SC430 is a perfect example of early Two Thousands Japanese luxury. Its got a power-retractable aluminum hardtop, making it a coupe and a convertible in one car! Riding on silver five double spoke wheels, this timeless symbol of Eastern elegance also includes projector headlamps and dual exhausts. The tan interior of this 2003 Lexus SC430 features leather-trimmed bucket seats and a rear bench seat. It’s a two plus two, pretty much. Just gaze at that classic Japanese design interior and dashboard that’s chock-full of buttons – no characterless touch screen here. The car isn’t short of gadgets. There’s dual-zone automatic climate control with air conditioning, a trip computer, and a Mark Levinson premium sound system. The set-up in the center console is no less impressive, with a 6-disc CD changer and even a cassette tape player, sure to delight lovers of classic physical media for music. Then, you gaze at a proper analog gauge cluster, and grip a multifunction steering wheel. You’ve also got cruise control.
Engine
This 2003 Lexus SC430 uses a smooth 4.3-liter 32-valve DOHC V8. The naturally aspirated unit is the 3UZ-FE from Toyota’s engine family. It’s reportedly rated for 288hp and 317lb-ft. Hence, 0-60 is a low 6-second affair. Power gets sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed automatic gearbox. Thanks to the use of double wishbones all round, the car offers a great mix of sporty handling and comfortable ride characteristics.
Inspection
The 1994 Lexus SC 300 is a standout example of Lexus’ approach to building a refined grand touring coupe with serious enthusiast appeal. Showing 54,387 miles, this example features the highly regarded 3.0L naturally aspirated 2JZ-GE inline-6 paired with a factory 5-speed manual transmission, offering a rare combination of smooth performance, rear-wheel-drive dynamics, and driver engagement. Finished in Super White with an Ivory leather interior, this SC 300 blends Japanese luxury with sports car fundamentals.
Inspection
The 1995 Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec represents one of the most celebrated generations of Nissan’s GT-R lineage, combining the RB26DETT twin-turbocharged inline-six with sophisticated all-wheel-drive technology and a chassis engineered for serious performance. This right-hand-drive example shows approximately 36,337 miles and is finished in Spark Silver Metallic over a Gray interior. Beyond its desirable V-Spec specification, it has been further upgraded with an HKS exhaust system, K&N air filters, BC Racing BR Series coilovers, an upgraded turbocharger, and an aftermarket ECU tune with a chipped ECU. It also features an Old Logo NISMO Black Gauge Cluster and a Special Edition Nardi FET Steering Wheel, giving this R33 a strong mix of period-correct Japanese performance character and enthusiast-focused upgrades.
