2004 Lexus SC Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This 20-year old SC with 123K miles on the clock was a one-owner car, serviced at a Portland Lexus dealership for its entire life up to the moment I drove it away. I look at this car as a millennium icon, because its at the pinnacle of luxury with tech thats 20 years old but still very functional. However one outrageous item is a nav system thats DVD based, meaning the car has no access to the internet and no possibility of updating its maps. Think of how many roads and neighborhoods have been built since then! Still, the car drives out perfectly, stops like it hit an invisible taffy wall, and corners like a wallowing hippo. Wait. Really not bad, but does need coilovers all around and swaybar attention. The condition of this unit is damn near perfection, and it will take some doing to maintain it as well as the first owners did. But this is one of the dwindling fleet of early stock 430s which has the potential to drive beyond 300K. Its a great lifestyle choice at a time when I could have picked a garden-variety GS350 or Toyota Avalon, etc., but its road-going style is far more distinctive than those. Fourteen grand from a Lexus dealership for a perfect as-new daily driver of exceptional value. Shazam. I rule!Dec 03, 2024

This car is bullet proof meaning it is one of the most reliable cars on the road, 2002 model doesnt have blue tooth and its a gas guzzler, other than that it is so reliable, fun and smooth to drive, and not expensive to maintain! There is no back seat it can fit a skinny 7 or 8 year old and it can fit a small 5 ft 3 inches 95 lb Asian lady in the back! Lol it has a v8 engine on 2002 model, its quiet on the highway where you can have a regular conversation so no need to yell at eachother takes premium gasoline,Oct 21, 2024
