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!

I used to have one of those, mine was red. I was once followed home by an elderly couple for over five miles. They asked if I was interested in selling it. I took their number. 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.

@davidbrooks187 2 года назад

Nice motor Matt. The Lexus build quality was / is always on point & great value for money. Once you’ve got the car sorted I wouldn’t blame you if you were tempted to keep it however I would change the wheels to the facelift model as they do look tired.

@feldons5621 2 года назад

This is a great car and it was designed at the TMME design centre in the South of France by the same Greek designer -Sotiris Kovos that penned the highly successful MK 1 Yaris. The SC style at the rear was said to be based on nautical lines. You have made a great purchase of a car that I too would like to own -great review..

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.

@emiliospowerballer1441 2 года назад

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.

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.

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.

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 !!

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!!

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

@@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.
