Hi Matt, having had a similar one of these I think you’ll find the faulty window switch isn’t infact faulty. The switch deactivates when someone changes the battery and there are a set of key presses you need to do to recode it to the car. I remember when it happened on mine a quick google search gave me the correct key sequence and then the window switch was fine and good to go!

After eight enjoyable months of owning it, they made me an offer I couldn’t possibly refuse. It had only sixty thousand miles. I’ve regretted it ever since. Am yet to find a suitable replacement!!

I've always had a liking for the SC 430 as well, ever since I drove one at a Lexus event in Essex many years ago. Maybe because it was held at a country house estate, but it felt luxurious and effortless to drive. I particularly like the colour combination of this one, a raffle would sell like hot cakes.

Lovely, and much underrated, V8 wafter in the best colour, even though the 6-speed facelift version is the one to go for (albeit costing a tidy few thousand £s more ). With a subtle ride-height drop and the right aftermarket rims, an SC430 can even look cool 🤩

@@davids9549 I wouldn't call my Sc a boat though, I have the facelift model that apparently is quite an improvement over the original. As I said, I'm not an aggressive driver and it handles much the same as any other car I've ever driven. I prefer to drive within my capabilities, which is safely. Don't get me wrong a like to put my foot down now and again and there's way too much power for me to exploit it fully. The body does shake over our bumpy roads, just like other 'four seat convertibles. Even my MX-5 did slightly, which is inevitable when structural strength is lost with the loss of the roof. I suppose a rock hard, ultra low drivers car corners much better but it's not my thing as I've never understood 'steering feedback' and 'understeer' anyway....

Use to love these cars, very reliable if looked after- just a useful package if you have children or need back seats makes it a practical proposition for many. The one fly in the ointment is the size of the engine and the subsequent road tax if you want a budget motor. Having a set of all the same tyres is a good sign- surprisingly only one key

I come up with more and more evidence that how reliable a car is, depends solely on how its owner treated the car as such rather than the reputation brands sell. If one takes care of the car like servicing it when due, oil changes as recommended by the brand, replacement of rusted or not working properly parts while driving sensibly directly increases a car's life span. Well done to the bloke who took proper care of this car.

Underneath a tiny amount of neglect lurks a very straight & level car. Most of these issues point to it standing for a little while. Very unusual in my experience to find any rust - even at 20 years old. Although my wife’s RX450h has a tiny scab on the tailgate at less than 10yrs old. It (the 430) just has a bit of ‘retired business owner and Rotarian’ about it, but that’s not Lexus’s fault! Another great vid, thanks.

Hi Matt, hope you are well and enjoying your GT. The SC is one of my favourites and i'm a sucker for a Lexus V8, mine is an LS460. I can see you being tempted to keep this one, to sit beside the Merc. Apparently Lexus put some kind of grease stuff over the brake pipes. MOT guys don't touch it so usually suspect rusty pipework, and Lexus techs don't touch it either, allegedly not allowed to! Bulletproof as expected. Good luck. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.

I have a 92 sc4000 and love it. I am looking to add an SC430 to the mix too!

Lexus really are masters of putting loads of cubby holes in an interior and giving them all a nice opening/closing mechanism. My other favourite is how smooth the window motors are.

Car looks great. Quite a few jobs to do. Get a batter look at the paintwork in the dry, but looks o. Not too many parts to buy, luckily , so you might be alright. Quite fancy a GS300, maybe 2008, now that I don't drive so many miles, but never bought a car that old before, so be interested how your Lexus pans out. so Good luck and look forward to part 2.

I remember buying a SC430 new in 2003. Fell in love with the TV advert, set in Venice, with the car gliding on terra ferma and those old fine-wooded speedboats off shore. Had to wait 6 months while my spec was sorted in Japan. Still have photo of me - by wife, who thought I was mad - hugging it when it arrived. A stately sports car. Years of driving pleasure interrupted only by being rammed on a roundabout; even then it managed to limp home. Rear wheel drive is fun/useless in icy conditions however. Ended up now with Mercedes E400 4matic and still miss my old Lexus lady.

Well Matt as usual here is my ten pence worth, Nice car and will be once everything is checked out and maintained and certainly worth a look see, especially as up here in Aberdeen dealershps and small garages are lacking anything decent to drive that is not £5,000 over priced. Me I'd happily drive about in this but with the roof firmly attached, even on the two summer days we are expecting later this year. So I'll keep an eye out for PART 2 and when you come to sell it on, possibly make an offer, if you fancy a road trip North of the Border into Scotland, as then you can drive my Fiesta Active 1 litre back down South - better than a road trip to the Spanish Balerics !!

My boss at the time had one of these. We collected it new from the dealer. Was a great car.

Those seat belts will clean up quite easily, but you need a warm, dry day. I did this with my Citroën C6 3.0HDi: - Disconnect at the lower anchor and pull out fully, trapping the unextended bit - which is usually fairly immaculate - in the door/window closure (the C6 has frameless door glasses) then tethering with a bungee to a drainage pipe or a low wall - Spray liberally with Home Bargains’ “Elbow Grease” and allow to soak in for an hour or so - Jetwash with a decent pressure washer and clean water, then allow to dry naturally in the sunshine (when we get some!) I’ve done two of my C6s’ that had cream-coloured seat belts, and they’ve come up like new! Great content as always, Matt!!

I always thought they looked a bit ungainly from the outside. But then so does my RX450, which I never notice sitting inside its great interior. Probably exactly the same with this car. Nice buy, I hope you make some little profit on it, although it's clear you didn't buy it just for that reason. A car worth saving, won't take too much. Enjoyed the video, thanks!

Love rx450 any chance so you can tell me what kind of mpg you can expect from 3.5 v6 petrol motor?
@olabergvall3154

@@flavio17021979 Mine is the hybrid (RX450h), it does around 9.5 litres per 100 km on average. I converted that to a mpg figure of 29.7. Honestly, consumption isn't great, but she's a big ol' girl you know.
