A Pair of Vintage (Looking) Lexus SC430’s

A dozen years ago in a local dealership I sat in a Lexus SC430 and thought it was a peculiar and precocious little coupe, with the coolest retractable hard top I had ever seen and luxurious leather and real wood trim inside.  The SC430 has a little 4.3 liter V-8 with a not terribly impressive 288hp, but it does pull off sub-6 second 0-60 and is governor limited to 149 mph.  A heavy car, but not a pig.  These 10-year old unicorns look retro to me already.  Suspect reliable as hell and would probably pass on MaxCare? Check them out below.

Both are 2008 Lexus SC430’s nearly identically equipped.  The gold car is $1,000 more than the silver, with 6,000 less miles.  The gold exterior looks…rich, but the interior looks more worn….the cream color shows scuffs more than the black.  It’s a two owner lifelong Florida car found here in Boynton Beach – if the link is dead it’s sold, on hold, or being transferred.

For a little less money and a few more miles, you get a cleaner interior in this 2008 Lexus SC430.  Both have the high end Mark Levinson audio system that was once exclusive.  I dig the silver car’s wheels way more – remind me a just a little of BBS wheels of days gone by.  That said, the gold car really catches the eye outside.  What to do?  This one is right up the road from me near Baltimore – it’s a two-owner Delaware and Maryland car.  Find it here in Ellicott City…..same deal on the link.
