Our Lexus SC430 At 160,000 Miles 

Great cars! Keep in mind if you buy one with 80K miles or more these are the three things you must do you have no service records to prove these have been done. Timing belt and water pump. If the timing belt breaks it will break the engine. The water pump is located right by the timing belt, so most of the cost is labor so go ahead and just replace the water pump while you're at it. Budget $1200 to $1500 to have a shop do it. It needs to be replaced every 10 years or 100K miles. New shocks and struts. Shocks/struts are typically good for 50k miles. Replacing them and ride quality will improve dramatically, and safety and handling will improve. Budget $500 to $1,000 for a shop to do it, depending upon the quality shocks/struts you buy. Lastly and most importantly, new tires. Along with shocks/struts, new tires will make the car ride like a new car again. Just because you have good tread depth left, age takes its toll on tire rubber. Check the year of manufacture listed on the tire. There is no spare tire so you don't want to be stuck far away with a flat tire. Budget $1,000 to $1300 for a quality set of four balanced and mounted. Enjoy!

I have a 2002 with 256000, still looking and running strong.

Great to hear about your good experience! Mine 2004 is getting ready to turn 230,000 miles, I've had for a year with minor issues. Hope to keep at least another 8 years. You really need to sand the headlights and use clear coat to spiff them up. I cleaned mine that way and they look really good. I agree with your thoughts about the SC430, it's a special car.

Just got an '08 with 28k miles. I feel like I've won the lottery

For $7500, you got a reliable, hardtop convertible at a 90 percent discount. Well done. 😀

I have a 2008 now at 36,200 miles that I bought this April. Put 2,500 miles on it since purchased. Will spend the winter in my garage on trickle charge. Those cupholders do stick on occasion - and the 24 ounce coffee cups from Wawa here in NJ are definitely a challenge to keep from tipping over. Mine is the dark blue "Smoky Granite Mica" with Ecru leather (cream). MSRP was $67k and I paid less that half of that. No spare, that kills truck space, so I drive around with Fix-A-Flat! I get 20MPG always use premium gas!

I am Japanese. This SC430 is an early model of the Lexus brand and has been made with great care. It was priced at $80,000 at the time, has a V8 engine, and a sturdy chassis, so as long as you maintain it properly, it's a car you can drive for another 20 years. In Japan, enthusiasts are buying it back, and the price has gone up since then. Please take good care of it.

I have had my 2008 for 10 years it has a little over 200,000 miles on it and it rides like a dream. It is dealer serviced and I have no issues whatsoever. The cost to own as been very low. I jus upgraded the radio to get Apple Car play it was a want not a need. The radio worked perfectly. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

I have an '02 with 139k miles, what a sleeper it is! For 300 HP this car will get down!

300 dollars of groceries is 2 bags these days.

Im thinking of geting one! ive a Is250 at moment! Thanks for your lovely Video. im in the UK

Car looks great as I have an SC430 also and love it. Wife looks terrific! The old guy needs some work and a clean up!

That is amazing! congrats guys!

I really love that car.

So true about the tall drinks! Always have a cap on your drinks!! I've had my 2005 for just over a year and I am still loving this car when I drive it. I have never been so excited to drive a 17 year old vehicle. Such a fun weekend/getaway car. I would also buy this again.

Mine has 108k pearl blue spotless gem

No need to ever have drinks in a car.

I just want to know how he landed someone like her.

Miles…..solid…….😂🤡🤡🤡🥱

I've been looking to buy one within the next month. I see that you guys have a spare tire, but I've heard that they don't come with one. Is this true?

Well you and rev were my inspiration for my purchase but I will drive mine in the winter easy now easy I will be Florida thanks for your positive reviews

nice car I love mine

I have a SC430. . . Yeah, "$300 worth of groceries in the trunk, no problem" i.e. . . two bags.

My GF had not one but two of them!! She sold the 06 with 400K on it and kept the 03 with 139K !!!

Love the car. One comment, clean the lense on your camera.

You two are very genuine people and nice reviewers. I trust you implicitly.

I’m looking at one 2005 peeble beech edition. It has 50k miles condition for 24k. What you think? It’s black with red interior

TNKS. NOW. I BUY.N ONE. REALY. APRECIATE. IT. BLESSED BE. ALL...😇😇😇😇😇😇

. Denise taylor eddie from Conway ?

Hey honey 💞🍯.

Does the car come with the spare tyre as standard? You featured apprx at 6:28. Thx for posting.

Beautiful car Beautiful wife ❤... Seriously I'm looking at buying one as soon as i find the perfect one for me. Have you had the timing belt water pump ect. Done yet?

Nice review. I have a 2002 with 140K on it. For the Cup Holder there is a snack cup sold at Dollar Tree (in US anyways) and the bottom of the cup makes a nice pocket in the cupholder. Nothing falls out of mine anymore; not even water bottles or coffee. Great channel.

Man. That house is awesome in the background.

The Passive aggressiveness in this couple it’s all I noticed in the video. Therapy, you guys not a car.
