Used 2002 Lexus SC 430 Base

* Based on opinions and should be considered as general guidance only.

• Reliability (5)
  5 out of 5 stars
  Equipped with the legendary 3UZ-FE V8 engine, this vehicle is famously over-engineered and capable of reaching high mileage with very few mechanical failures.
• Maintenance (4)
  4 out of 5 stars
  While generally affordable to maintain due to shared components with other Toyota/Lexus models, specialized repairs for the roof mechanism or timing belt services can be costly.
• Technology (3)
  3 out of 5 stars
  Featuring a pioneering power-retractable hardtop and a legendary Mark Levinson sound system, it was high-tech for 2002, though the infotainment is now very dated.
• Comfort (5)
  5 out of 5 stars
  The cabin is a masterclass in luxury with high-quality wood trim, buttery leather, and excellent sound insulation that makes it a premier grand tourer.
• Dynamics (2)
  2 out of 5 stars
  Often criticized for its numb steering and heavy curb weight, the SC 430 prioritizes a soft, wallowing ride over any sense of sportiness or agility.
