Greg Sarnelli Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I've just purchased a 2005 SC430 with 84100 miles. I take delivery of the vehicle in Friday. I've made an 85000 mile service appointment at a local Lexus dealer. As one who usually wouldn't buy a vehicle with so many miles, I'm kinda regretting my decision. Any thoughts or words of wisdom? Thanks Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincoln_pack Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 My 96 SC4 will soon be reaching the 200 000 miles mark and it still run like a charm even tho it has already been in a critical crash (not done by me), an uncertain service record from previous owners and hard winters... I'd say, just enjoy your SC and take good care of it... It might last much longer than any brand new car you could get those days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Sarnelli Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Thank you all. Picked up the car last night. Really loved driving with the top down on a lovely south Florida evening. She goes in this morning for service. Wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaRX Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I used to have a 95 GS300 with 240,000+ miles. I had it for 9 years and I ran that car hard and it still has a lot of life left. Treat your SC430 with love and care and I bet you'll see 300,00 miles with ease. That is my goal with what I call my new/used 99 RX300 with 171,000 miles with a new transmission with only 50,000 miles on it. I plan on hitting 300,000 miles! Good luck!
