I have an SC 430 that is in the same color combination with 57K on the clock, but with Lexus chrome wheels. I love it! It's a beautiful car. Some people have thought it to be a little bit "Bentley like" in its interior, and I would definitely agree with that. It is a very luxurious and special grand tourer. The SC430 is also a reliable car because of its Lexus build quality. Fit and finish are far superior than Mercedes, BMW, or Audi in my view. These cars are also bulletproof! As long as you do the regular maintenance like having the oil change every 5K miles and having the timing belt and water pump replaced at 9 years or 90K miles -- you will be good to go for another 100K miles. In the video you can see a sticker that's on the engine shroud that shows the TB and WP have been replaced. And that's a $2000.00 + service. So this car looks to be a very well maintained SC430. With such low miles and good service records, this SC looks will make some new owner of it very happy.
@@alphazero2005 timing belt is actually better. its smoother in the long run and the replacement is not often. once a timing stretches due to old age or cheap engine oil the repairs are next to impossible on some vehicles. Once a vehicle has a chain replaced it is never the same again, where as a belt replacement your car feels brand new every time.
My 02 SC430 has the same interior colour. It is beautiful to drive, particularly since I fitted good quality shock absorbers. It is comfortable, quiet, smooth and powerful. Fuel economy and build quality is excellent.

Wayne Lewis thank you for the kind words Wayne, glad you enjoy your SC
so it has a timing belt and not a chain? Eek.

That engine is so quiet!!!! Amazing car.
Hard to believe Clarkson described this as the worst car he'd ever reviewed. Insane!!
