i just bought a 2002 sc430 and had nothing but problems. it had 48,000 miles on it and paid 42,000. the front left speaker went out, had it replaced. rattle in back behind passenger rear seat. finally...............found problem and fixed it, seat back kept falling off.........fixed that and finally got those run flat tires off for a smoother ride but now they bump. lexus service dept. has been pure hell. they dept my car 4 days when i first bought it then i brought it back to them 3 times which is over an hour from where i live and the 4th time they kept it for 15 days and didnt even know they still had it. it has been a nightmare. i had an 2002 Ls430 and sold it then had an ES300 and sold it and now have the sc430. i love the car but it is NOT the quality car that the other lexus' are for it to be call the JEWEL OF LEXUS.
