Lexus joined the Luxury Coupe market in 1991 with the SC400. It came with great design attributes and a powerful V8 under the hood. A six cylinder variant followed in 1992 as the SC300. These stylish Coupes were produced until the model year 2000 and then replaced by a much-anticipated second generation version. From its inception, the new 2001 design was meant to be a convertible, a first-ever offering from the premium Lexus brand. With 5 years of design and engineering behind this stunning new convertible, it was packed with features, functionality, and impressive styling! The body shape was extensively wind tunnel tested to optimize air flow around the car to element wind noise during top-down driving. The upscale interior was trimmed in a perfect balance of burled walnut & bird's eye maple, leather surfaces, and brushed aluminum accents. The aluminum hardtop was made to retract with the push of a button in just 25 seconds. A brilliant Mark Levinson audio system supplied the music, and a DVD-based Navigation system was standard equipment to show you the way! A new 4.3L V8 DOHC VVT-I engine under the hood provided a smooth 300 horsepower through a 5-speed overdrive automatic transmission! It was a hugely successful model for Lexus, and sadly only produced for 9 years, ending in 2010.
Offered here is a 2003 Lexus SC430 convertible finished in Absolutely Red over beautiful Saddle Tan leather interior! In addition to the options listed above, it features dual zone climate control, 6-disc in-dash CD changer, front fog lamps, 8-way power seats with heat & memory, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, all-weather floor mats, variable-assist power rack & pinion steering, vehicle stability control, traction control, and updated 18” chrome alloy wheels by Giovanni wrapped in Nexen N7000 Plus measuring 245/45ZR18!
This is a beautiful example and comes with just 61,661 miles on the odometer! It has been with the current adult owners since March 2009 and always garaged and maintained to the highest standards. It was used primarily on fair weather days only; and never abused, smoked in, or mistreated. The CarFax does indicate a January 2005 accident where passenger side damage was reported. We would like to point out that all original VIN panel stickers are still present throughout the entire car, so no replacement panels were needed in the repair. Additionally, the finish results are excellent and no evidence of a repair is detectable in any way indicating a very professional repair. Inspections are always welcome of course.
This car will come with tires that were installed in 2016 with front end alignment, a new battery fitted in 2018, fresh engine oil & filter, new engine air filter, and interior cabin filter. The original owner's manual, one key/fob, and wheel lug nut lock key as also included. It is a wonderful car to drive and in remarkable condition overall! Please call with any questions.
