The SC 430's are terrific cars. I own an 04 with 60k on the clock, it has the same exterior color as Bill's but mine has the lighter ecru interior. It's a 3rd car for me. I also own a Miata and a Tacoma. The Miata is a blast to drive as and gets attention anywhere I go in it. But the SC is a comfortable, luxurious, solidly well built car that I'm sure that I'll keep for many, many more years to come. I think of the SC not just as a boulevard cruiser, but a very personal luxury coupe/convertible. It's one of those cars that after you get out of it and walk a few steps, you'll look back at it to appreciate its beauty. I think part of its beauty is that it looks expensively Japanese -- with a bit of a European flair. Thank's Bill! Great review!

There are a couple-three SC430 groups on FB and the word “love” is used a lot. It is not unusual for couples to have his and hers SC430s. Also not unusual for past owners to express regrets about selling theirs - only to acquire another - the car is that good. Yes, it is a luxury car first, but with a top speed of 160 mph, they had to design a suspension to safely handle those speeds. I have taken off ramps at well over twice the posted speed limit and never felt like I was going to lose control. Even with the top down, you only hear a low hum from the exhaust. Owners have reported over 350K miles on the their odometers - claiming with proper maintenance it is easily a 400K engine. We love our SC430.

@6:50 Regarding timing belt replacement "well before it was due," actually Bill, Lexus recommends the timing belt replacement at 90K or nine years, whichever comes first. In this case, he did it four years past the recommended period though most seasoned SC430 owners will tell you the belts are rarely in need of replacement based on years alone. People have replaced them at the nine year mark with low mileage and the belts looked in fantastic condition. That being said, with an interference engine, better to be safe than sorry. Keep 'em coming. Love your banter, 'been a fan for ages.

The only feature-rich and complex luxury brand vehicle I'd buy out of warranty is a Lexus. I'd get almost zero snob appeal, but I'd be miles ahead financially over time, and also be far less bothered by problems. Lexus cars are very sophisticated, comparable to the Euro competitors. They handle better than they get credit for, and more than good enough for the way these cars are actually driven in America. The Lexus dealer experience is first rate, so what's not to like?
