Up for sale is my 2002 Lexus SC430 Convertible

The interior is in incredible condition, no rips/splits/cracks/worn seams, the interior is just amazing.  Full power and heated front seats, headrests lift and tilt, very comfortable to drive.  Although the rear seats are in equally great condition, they are also the reason we decided to sell it; we need more leg-room for backseat passengers.  The exterior is a nice deep gloss black, takes well to a good wash/buff/wax, very sharp.  Navigation system works fine, the Mark Levinson stereo system sounds really nice, Cd player can be a bit finicky (doesn't like to play particular CDs), the power antenna does not extend but the radio still picks up my local channels just fine.  The climate control center has a couple of dead pixels (see pic, basically where a "5" doesn't show up as a full five, or a "9" doesn't show as a full nine - only on a couple of spots, not the entire screen), it's still easy to view and understand.  The air conditioning is not ice cold.

The exterior has a couple of dime-sized pings here and there - I took a picture of one of them to help describe what I mean.  There is an area on the bottom of the front bumper (passenger side) that has some curb scratches below the fog light, see photos for more details.  The convertible top goes up and down smooth, no grinding or stalling - very fast operation.  I'll be posting a video shortly that shows it in operation, along with the engine starting/running.  Please review the video to see top functioning and engine start & run.

The engine runs good, transmission shifts nice and smooth, no issues with rear-end, brakes are nice and solid, car tracks good and straight, tires are in good healthy condition appear to have plenty amount of tread left, the rims have some scratches on the edges but nothing overly critical, exhaust is nice a crisp deep sound.  Timing belt was changed about 52K miles ago, so you have about 38K miles before it should be changed again according to Lexus.

Although the car has a lot of miles on it, it certainly doesn't show.  Toyota/Lexus has used this engine in a number of models, and there are plenty running around with well over 300K miles on them.  This is not a cheap 150K/mile throw-away car, Toyota/Lexus is known for building long-life cars.  I cannot guarantee anything will not go wrong, but the likelihood is certainly much lower than most any other manufacturer.  I'm selling the car as-is/where-is, no warranties expressed or implied.  I'm more than happy to answer questions, and I'm also willing to help your shipping company get the car loaded.  Buyer is responsible for making shipping arrangements and paying any shipping fees.

I apologize for the pictures being a little dark, I didn't want to take the car outside because of the ice and rain.  As soon as we have some good sun I'll switch out the pictures for some sunny shots.  I have the title in-hand and ready to transfer.

Thanks.

Xcar gets Lexus LFA serviced at TMG

Mon, Mar 30 2015

Toyota has made all manner of vehicles, from sedans and hatchbacks to crossovers and pickup trucks. It's even done a handful of sports cars over the years. But it's only ever done one real supercar, and that was the Lexus LFA. The ten-cylinder supercar was built at the dedicated, purpose-built LFA Works, a facility within Toyota City in Japan that's since moved on to making everything from bicycles to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. But if you were lucky enough to be among the 500 customers to get your hands on an LFA, you may not be inclined to send it back to the factory every time it needs servicing. Especially not if you live in, say, Europe. That's why Toyota Motorsport GmbH was tasked with handling service for the LFA for Europe. The facility in Cologne, Germany, was once home to the automaker's F1 team, now runs its championship-winning endurance racing team and will soon again serve as the home base for its renewed assault on the World Rally Championship. So it's just the type of facility that could handle whatever comes up with Lexus' high-strung exotic, from servicing the V10 engine to repairing the carbon-fiber chassis if need be. After checking out the underground collection in its last episode, the guys at Xcar popped their heads in at the LFA service center. There they spoke with TMG VP Rob Leupen, who seems convinced that Toyota should make a new hybrid supercar. We hope he turns out to be right.

Lexus hints at LF-SA concept bound for Geneva

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Lexus has been moving steadily away from its once conservative designs with increasingly aggressive ones, and looks set to move the bar once again with this latest concept. Bearing the codename LF-SA, the new Lexus concept is set to debut in a couple of weeks at the Geneva Motor Show. But the Japanese luxury automaker isn't giving us much to go on from the decidedly enigmatic teaser image and brief statement below. According to Lexus, "the LF-SA Concept explores unexpected territories for the brand," which could come down to a new compact model to either replace or slot in below the CT 200h in the brand's lineup. The upright form would seem to be consistent with a city car. Beyond that, we can see an even larger evolution of Lexus' trademark spindle grille and checkmark accent lights. Whatever it is, though, Toyota's luxury division promises it will remain "a driver-focused vehicle." We'll just have to sit tight and wait to find out more, so watch this space. 17 Feb 2015 WORLD PREMIERE OF THE LEXUS LF-SA CONCEPT AT THE 2015 GENEVA MOTOR SHOW Lexus will reveal its all-new concept, the LF-SA at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. Brussels, Belgium - An illustration of Lexus' passion for upcoming design trends, the LF-SA Concept explores unexpected territories for the brand in a bold and emotional execution. In a future world which many people see as increasingly influenced by technology and virtual experiences, the LF-SA Concept is also a driver-focused vehicle, reflecting Lexus' vision that real experience will remain ultimate luxury. The LF-SA Concept will be revealed at the Lexus Press Conference taking place on March 3, 2015 at 12:30 PM at the Lexus stand (number 4211) in Palexpo, Hall 4.

Lexus LF-LC GT ready to hit Gran Turismo

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Lexus might not have as rich a motorsport history as its parent company Toyota does, but it's not been without its racing activities – fielding the LFA in the VLN series at the Nurburgring and powering Daytona Prototypes in American endurance racing, but especially in Japan's own Super GT touring car series. That's where it recently rolled out the RC F GT500 is to replace the aging SC430, fighting for the championship last season right up to the bitter end. And this year it will bring a similar version of the RC F to GT3 racing as well. But before it does, the Japanese automaker has given us another racing machine to lust over – only this one is just for the virtual reality of Gran Turismo 6. Following the two teaser images that previewed its reveal, Polyphony Digital (the studio behind the Gran Turismo franchise) has revealed the new Lexus LF-LC GT. The latest in the Vision Gran Turismo series of virtual racers, the Lexus concept starts with the LF-LC show car revealed at the Detroit Auto Show back in 2012, but applies to it some of the same queues as the aforementioned RC F racer. The bodywork melds into extended aprons to keep the car glued to the digital track, there's a side-exit exhaust, carbon hood and roof, a giant rear wing, gargantuan diffuser and lightweight alloys on racing slicks. It's even got the rainbow-swirled white paint job of the RC F GT3 concept. Technical details weren't released, but then this concept wasn't designed to hit any real road or track any time in the near future, anyway. Related Video:
