Vehicle Description
This 2004 Lexus SC430 goes well beyond its ultra-low mileage to provide you with like-new coddling luxury at an affordable price. This folding hardtop convertible looks nearly new inside and out, which makes this 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 sheetmetal that ages nicely and will certainly be a unique classic, which is also why this one has been cherished since day one. The original Millennium Silver 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 status a few years down the road if you continue to keep it at this level of quality.
Inside is the soothing luxury you expect from the Lexus name, and since this is car is a young classic, it has all the modern comfort features you could want. It starts with the Burnished Saddle 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 really striking about this interior is the all the real bird's eye maple that's on 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 seats, and cruise control. There are also plenty of safety features such as traction control, ABS, side airbags and dual front airbags.
Under the hood is packed with its factory original 4.3-liter V8 that has averaged 460 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 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.
This car has been a babied local convertible all its life. It was sold new at Lexus of Tampa Bay and comes with the right docs like the window sticker and owner's manual to prove it. 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!!!
