This is 2019. I have had this car over 12 years . Luxury, powerful, reliable and comfortable. This car can compare to any new car still.

[@FinishLineFactory]

Absolutely, very comfortable and reliable. Not the fastest car ever, but enough to keep you entertained!

[@Dr.Zhivago]

I just bought a white one 2002. Omg I LOVE IT! Insurance was cheaper then a new car!

[@reubensingh1430]

I really want this car

[@area859]

@@Dr.Zhivago how many miles were on it...there are some available by me but over 150k miles.

[@Dr.Zhivago]

area859 120k I had some issues recently pressing the gas on incline freeway entrance and it wouldn’t go faster then 60mph but it was the type of gas I was using so I switched to Chevron Techron and added and additive

This might be the coolest,trouble-free,car in the world,hands down. Iconic? You betcha!!

[@supahdupahplayahmacknumbah1]

Trouble free? I am surprised therr arent a lot of problems with the roof

[@MrHughes1950]

Very few problems @@supahdupahplayahmacknumbah1

[@lillianbradley6964]

I'm looking at 2002 for my grand daughter's first car. She's a junior next year and only will be driving literally 0.4 mi to school. Would you mind passing your opinion? The car I'm looking at has 98000 mi. I'm a long time Lexus customer so I'm not concerned about excessive repairs, and I'm a repeat customer from the seller. Just wondered what you think.

[@killseacocks]

@@supahdupahplayahmacknumbah1 SURPRISE !!

[@georgecastro4188]

We purchased one yesterday and absolutely love it! The previous owner took such good care of it! The vehicle is in mint condition!

[@crowlimite]

Got a silver 04 sc430 with only 78,000 miles, it rides like a dream even today, garage kept , smooth as heck . The stereo is awesome even with the top down.

[@dereksmith8422]

I own this car in indigo blue with saddle interior and the compliments never stop. Exceptional design and Luxury. It is a good rare and highly coveted luxury convertible.

[@MyCvid]

Yo, bro...there is NO plastic wood trim in this car! That is REAL elegant WOOD. AND...the back seat is for briefcase or groceries (bread, cheese, and wine).

[@FinishLineFactory]

Right on

[@killseacocks]

The backseat is for my table tennis paddles !!

[@ftby59mikeD]

They say its design was inspired by Italian yachts, but I've always thought it resembles a modern day Porsche 356 Speedster. Nice car!

[@rossking3]

Very nice video. Very informative. Thank you!

[@raymondwilson293]

solid review! I just bought one and you helped me. thank you!

[@LOYALLUTON]

Best review i,ve seen of this car,thankyou mate,im gonna get one

[@243wayne1]

These are some of the best automobiles ever manufactured. Class dismissed.

[@FinishLineFactory]

It would be nice with like 700 HP

[@243wayne1]

Hahaha! A little overkill perhaps... Enjoy your SC430! I love mine and will never sell it.

[@FinishLineFactory]

@@243wayne1 Thanks! It's not mine though, I was just reviewing it. I might get one some time though! I can assure you it may have 700 HP though

[@supahdupahplayahmacknumbah1]

Thank you for the most in-depth (and hilarious) review of the back seats lol

[@FinishLineFactory]

Gotta get in deep if you know what I mean.

[@CarsofGlasgow]

The LC has ridiculous rear room too

[@teareeutley3770]

I just bought a red one and had it repainted. The best fun I've ever had driving a car. I really didn't know what quality of a car i have bought and i only paid...i got a great deal. You can try to find something wrong but you would be lying. The best made car in the world. My navigation screen is stuck on tilt and want close and i have to replace the speakers.

[@killseacocks]

How much did you pay for the paint job ?

[@mmcin719]

Great car, mine has the same interior but is dark blue metallic. Great car, I fitted quality gas shock absorbers and it transformed the ride and handling, the high quality interior is just gorgeous with real wood by Yamaha. Excellent sound system but the original speakers are prone to failure. No one with legs would try to get into the back seat, which was fitted for insurance reasons.

[@FinishLineFactory]

If you think about it, the back seat area allows the front seat to recline backwards a bit, giving you more space. I like to refer to it as a "rear storage area"

[@Dr.Zhivago]

I subbed ! Love your reviews. Sc430 owner here!

[@FinishLineFactory]

Thank you!

[@CarsofGlasgow]

Great video, I am looking for a SC for summer 2020. The rear seats are in these types of cars for insurance reasons as its cheaper to insure a 4 seater vs a 2 seater (like the Z4 or TT convertible etc)

[@FinishLineFactory]

It also gives you an area that you can recline the front seats into

[@CarsofGlasgow]

@@FinishLineFactory That is true!

[@Vffr1]

I just purchased one last week. 2004 Same color combo, however I opted for a new style wheels. I call those Borg wheel.

[@reubensingh1430]

I really want this car pure luxury 🔥

[@stepheneurosailor1623]

Plastic Wood Trim wrong, that is real wood.

[@mmcin719]

Yamaha did the woodwork and it is fabulous real wood, my SC430 has the same interior as the one in the video.

[@stepheneurosailor1623]

@@mmcin719 Birdseye Maple very expensive RR and Bently use the same for their trim.

[@deairreoh]

My entry level dream car !!!!

[@FinishLineFactory]

It's pretty nifty, right? Looks cool, decent power, Lexus reliability! I only wish the motor could handle some boost!

[@deairreoh]

Finish Line Factory and still looks up to date, even the 2002 models

[@johnk3606]

12 minutes in he actually starts driving.

[@davidviner4932]

I look forwards to the time I will be old enough for this car to suit me, another 25 years should do it

[@crowlimite]

Got a silver one 2004 with only 78000, bout to upgrade the stereo with bluetooth and USB, hopefully I get one that retains my doors that open up on the navigation and stereo.

[@iNeverHadMercy]

I want one..... same color..... but with the saddle brown interior 🔥🔥🔥🍻

[@bobbycao7609]

LEXUS=TOYOTA= VERY RELIABLE CAR BUILT

[@michaelhaverty541]

Plastic wood trim? You forgot about one of the best sounding car systems when playing a CD not FM would be the Mark Levinson What about the VSC button which by the way stands for vehicle skid control, and forgot to mention it’s probably one of the most reliable cars ever built.

[@FinishLineFactory]

Plastic wood trim was a joke, actually. Unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to test out the sound system, but perhaps I should have. And yeah, VSC is just stability control which many cars of the era have, so it's nothing special in that area, but the reliability on this car is unparalleled indeed!

[@wayneonpark]

@@FinishLineFactory Nope, that isn't plastic wood trim. Lexus doesn't do plastic wood. Although the car was designed in France, the interior was in fact designed by Yamaha Music Corporation of Japan. You know, the makers of pianos and guitars. That's real wood you're looking at.. My 2004 SC430 with 60k on the clock is a terrific car - more of a cruiser than anything else. However, in just having it serviced at a Lexus dealer, its oxygen sensor had melded to the manifold. It had to be drilled off. The bill -- $3200.00. There was no way to get around it because the dash was displaying it VSC/VSC OFF and Engine lights. That being said, I plan on keeping the car for many more years to come. So the cost of repair was painful, but incidental. Overall, it's a great car. Good review!

[@danielchristopherdc]

Real wood made by Yamaha.

[@danielchristopherdc]

@@FinishLineFactory the wood is REAL WOOD, not plastic. Get your facts straight before making a video and spreading false information 🤡

[@FinishLineFactory]

@@danielchristopherdc SOMEONE ON THE INTERNET WAS WRONG, THAT GIVES ME LICENSE TO BE AN ABSOLUTE UNIT ABOUT IT! DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT'S ALREADY BEEN MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES, I HAVE TO MENTION IT TOO IN ORDER TO FEEL SECURE IN MY THOUGHTS AND EMOTIONS

[@ksunofficial]

what year is the lexus?????

[@ziggythecomedian3830]

Super Hyper Happy Dude lol he never say Probably 02-05

[@FinishLineFactory]

I forgot, 02 maybe?

[@muaythai193]

Does it have a very low seat position like a Mazda MX5 or more upright like a Lexus IS F? I don’t like low seats that are almost on the car’s floor..

[@menguardingtheirownwallets6791]

There is a jack, but No spare tire in the trunk?

[@FinishLineFactory]

Perhaps a previous owner took it

[@NorCalSaint]

Under here is the "spare tire jack"... Oh wait

[@fonziboy92able]

A 97-2000 sc300/400 is much sexier. Better lines and just looks more aggresive than this. I would still get one since I'm a huge Lexus fan but look wise the older one is better

[@danielchristopherdc]

I’ve had both. The interior of the SC430 is a huge upgrade.

[@teareeutley3770]

Wrong

So you don’t actually get to the “driving” part of a driving video until the 12 minute mark of a 14 minute video. Got it. Big time fail.

[@FinishLineFactory]

Unfortunately this was early into our relationship with the dealership, so I couldn't take it out very far to drive it. I actually don't even have a tag on it lol, but I'm just down the block so it's okay.
