2005 Lexus SC 430
Background check
Description
A beautiful drive, the SC430 has a super smooth, refined and powerful V8, very luxurious bespoke interior and magic carpet ride, almost a Japanese take on a Bentley Continental. This is the revised, better facelift model with 6 speed auto and Tiptronic option, much improved suspension, a spare wheel, and no harsh run flats.
This one is in superb condition and extremely well maintained and regularly serviced as part of a boutique luxury rental fleet, (with invoices to prove), with all these replaced in last 5 years: - 2026 Cambelt, tensioners, water pump, crank seal – the big, really important one. - 2025 Alternator, rear control arms, drivers seat belt - 2024 Power steering pump, new specialist battery and front control arms - 2021 Transmission oil change and expansion tank
Further features - Folding hard top roof works well and watertight - Pearlescent paintwork in great condition - Stunning totally scuff free 18” factory alloys - Part wood steering wheel - Premium Harmon Kardon sound system, integrated 6 CD multichanger and even a cassette deck. - Cream ecru leather electric seats
- Burled real walnut wood spotless
- Illuminated door sills
- Rear wind deflector
- Cruise control
Almost everything works as it should e.g. door mirrors auto dip in reverse, wooden panel flips over stereo. Minor issues are passenger door doesn't unlock with central locking, (unlocks manually), some patina wear on drivers seat. Mileage might seem up there but nothing to a car of this quality, they can take far higher. There are four seats with belts but the rear two are small token ones so really a two seater in practice, but what a way to travel, a true old school Grand Tourer that eats up the miles in supreme comfort and style.
This being the first ever convertible from Lexus, its a great time to enjoy a real up and coming collectible rarity.
Come and see for yourself in Nelson.
