    Safe. Classic. Its feels like an airplane cockpit.

  • great machine - 2004 Lexus SC 430

    Smooth as silk with a quiet ride and great extra features. The sound system that you can listen to with the top down and the compartment that you can hear your passenger talk with top down.

  • My Pebble Beach Edition - 2004 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    I chose the "Azure Pearl" (sky blue metallic) 2004 "Pebble Beach Edition" over the SL 500 and XLR. Only 400 will be made. The trunk and "rear seat" space was nominal, at best. No problem. Actually, the so-called rear seat is perfect for my dog and light luggage. I ordered the appropriate Michelin tires rather than the "run-flats". I paid the full MSRP. Luxury abounds. A real head-turner. The Mark Levinson stereo system in without peer. The illuminated blue "Lexus" scuff plates, the buttery ecru leather and black birds eye maple trim couldnt be sexier. Surveys by J.D. Power rate this car as tops for quality and reliability.

  • Great Car - 2004 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    After owning 3 Mercedes, including a convertible, this car is by far the best car I have had. Performance and handling are superior. My only complaint is the drivers seat does not have the comfort of other cars I have driven. I am only 510 but the car does not have proper leg room or is too high. I can never get the seat adjusted to where it is comfortable.

  • The Thrill of Driving - 2004 Lexus SC 430

    Its like being in the cockpit of a fighter jet. All controls right in front of you. It has all the power needed and more. Top up or down, quiet with the feeling of a much bigger vehicle.

  • Who needs a man, when you have a Lexus? - 2004 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    It was my divorce present to myself and it worked! I continue to feel totally pampered and safe every time I sit in, drive in, or think of that car. I was never into cars...never even wanted a Lexus. Never really knew what Lexuses were all about. And now, I will never own another car. The folks at Lexus courtesy-wash my car for free for me every week. They dont even let me tip them. The feed me while I wait...bagels, cappuccino. Complete LUXURY. I am officially spoiled ... and loving it. I recommend the SC 430 to every female recently out of relationship. Who needs a man, when you have a Lexus?

  • So much fun - 2004 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    Ive not regretted one penny spent for this wonderful little automobile. Its so much fun. I just hate its a year old. Seems just like yesterday when I bought it.

  • True Happiness - 2004 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle used and sold my 1999 Mercedes SL 500. This car is a pleasure to drive in every sense. I wish that they would take out the back seat and place a self like Mercedes. Otherwise outstanding.

  • This car is amazing. - 2004 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    I have driven this car and the Mercedes SL500. What that car has in style, this car has in comfort and driving. This car drives better and is just more reliable. The Mercedes had a lot of trouble and often broke down.
