For Sale: 2004 Lexus SC430 in Lutz, Florida

This 2004 Lexus SC430 goes well beyond its ultra-low mileage to provide you with like-new coddling luxury at an obtainable price. This folding hardtop convertible looks nearly new inside and out, which makes it one of the most unique ways to arrive on the scene.


Lexus had already established its reputation for quality by the turn of the century. That's how they were able to showcase their engineering prowess while charging a premium price for this second-generation SC. It was designed from the start to be a hardtop convertible, and the inspiration is from nautical themes. That's why with the top up or down this has a profile of gentile waves. It has the kind of intricate sheet metal that ages gracefully. It makes for an even more unique design as this matures into full classic status... which is also why this one has been cherished since day one. The original Dark Green Metallic paint still has a luster that outshines some new cars - that's a combination of Lexus quality paint practices and careful ownership. The original alloy wheels are a very unique design that will never be replicated, so having them in this cut-above condition is a bonus. In fact, this SC430 has an overall impression that tells us it could easily be available for survivor car shows a few years down the road if you continue to keep it at this level of quality.


Deep green on the outside and a saddle tan on the inside is the kind of timelessly attractive color combo you'd expect to find on a European car. That's another reason why we know this one will turn heads for decades to come. But what you'll love today is that this provides the soothing luxury you expect from the Lexus name. Plus, since this car is a young classic, it has all the modern comfort features you could want. It starts with the leather that looks like this convertible is still in the showroom. So you know no one left the aluminum folding roof down all day long. That's impressive because the top can stay down in just about any weather thanks to features like the heated seats and automatic A/C climate control. You can even easily hear your music with the top-down thanks to the rear wind deflector and the AM/FM/CD Mark Levinson premium stereo. But what is really striking about this interior is all the real Bird's Eye maple that's on the steering wheel, dash, and center console. It is even used to cover the DVD navigation system when not in use. It's a great visual that isn't found in the premium competitors, and it instantly tells others that this is exclusive transport. Other premium features include power windows, power locks, keyless entry, power front seats, and cruise control. There are also plenty of safety features such as traction control, ABS, and dual airbags.


Under the hood is packed with its correct 4.3-liter V8 that has averaged barely over 1k miles annually - yes, this car is that special. It's a 32-valve, DOHC motor with variable timing, which means you get the most out of this engine's 300 hp anytime you step on the gas. But this is a Lexus, and so you know it will be civil. In fact, this large V8 is borrowed from the LS flagship sedan, and we all know how quiet its reputation is. Just like the Mercedes SL, the Lexus SC is a solid luxury machine, but it also has a fun side on the road. This is thanks to features like the five-speed automatic transmission, speed-sensitive steering, fully independent suspension, and four-wheel disc brakes.


Complete with the owner's manual, this Lexus appears to have lived an easy life and is ready for some sunshine. After all, even with the top down, there's still room in the trunk for a few weekend bags. And with all the money you saved on this SC430, you can afford a few weekend getaways. Call today!!!
