A grand tourer that was originally designed to compete with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz CL, the Lexus SC has always been an outlier, enjoyed by connoisseurs of cars that offer a combination of comfort and reliability with the open-top motoring experience. This 2002 Lexus SC430 is a perfect example of the second generation of SC, and with an original MSRP of $61,000, this garage-kept car has plenty of choice options that have helped it stay modern.
This silver example of a 2002 Lexus SC430 features a beige leather interior with plenty of wood adorning the dashboard and steering wheel. This electrically-operated hard-top convertible can go from slick-top coupe to open-top convertible in just 25 seconds. The Lexus SC430 was designed with particular emphasis applied to its performance in the wind tunnel, enabling engineers to craft the car so that, when the roof was down, wind would be channelled away from the passenger compartment. The interior also features the premium Mark Levinson audio system that was offered on the SC430 from the factory, which includes speed-sensitive volume control.
The engine underneath the hood of the Lexus SC430 is a 4.3-liter V8 which powers the grand tourer through a 5-speed gearbox. With 288hp and 317 lb-ft of torque, the SC430 can do the 0-60mph sprint in 6.2 seconds.
If you’re looking for a luxury vehicle manufacturer from Japan, you’ve got a few choices. However, nobody comes close to the Japanese luxury brand cachet that Lexus enjoys in the North American market, of course a large part of that is due to it being a Toyota sub-brand. In 2001, Lexus introduced their SC430 model to the market as a two-door coupe with a retractable aluminum hardtop. The SC430 was marketed as the ‘Jewel of Lexus’ and the brand’s first drop-top to boot. If you’re looking for one of these, here’s a 2007 Lexus SC430 Convertible from Arizona with a healthy 106,000 miles on the odo. It’s seen a recent service and has a fair bit of work done to keep it humming smoothly.
