For Sale: 2004 Lexus SC430 in Kentwood, Michigan

When Lexus launched the SC430, they called it the jewel of the lineup, and they meant it. This was the brand's first ever convertible, developed as a proper grand tourer that could hold its own against the Mercedes SL, the Jaguar XK8, and the Cadillac XLR. Car and Driver praised it on launch as comfortable, fast, smooth, and quiet, with all of the qualities expected from a car at this level. This one is finished in Millennium Silver Metallic with the power retractable aluminum hardtop, a clean and classic color combination that suits the SC's smooth, flowing lines perfectly.

Under the hood is the 4.3 liter V8 backed by a five speed automatic, producing 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. The engine is smooth, refined, and effortless in the way only a well engineered V8 can be. Power goes to the rear wheels, and the SC carries its weight low and evenly, giving it the kind of composed, confident handling that makes longer drives genuinely enjoyable rather than something you endure.

Inside, the Saddle brown leather interior is rich and well appointed, wrapped around a cabin trimmed in Birds Eye Maple wood. Dual climate control, heated seats, power and memory seats, a power tilt and telescoping steering column, and the Mark Levinson premium sound system round out a car that leaves very little on the table. All services are up to date and this is as clean an example as you will find.

Early SC430 production, which this car falls into, was done entirely by hand at Lexus with each car taking 71 hours to build. That level of care shows in how these cars hold together over time. The SC430 was initially a polarizing car in some circles, but time has been very kind to it. As the automotive world has moved almost entirely toward SUVs and crossovers, a low, elegant, V8 powered grand tourer convertible with this level of fit and finish has only grown more appealing. Values on clean examples are quietly on the move.

You will not find a cleaner example of one of these.
