New Owner Sc430

dm575 · November 1, 2014

Hello all. Just added a silver 05 SC430 to the stable. Picked up yesterday, don't think I've driven anything so smooth and with such a feel of total quality. Wife loves it and she will be the main driver of this one.

Thats three V8's at home now.... oops my CO2 footprint his just risen even higher...

Hope to be a regular contributor. Thanks for adding me, Derek.

I love the idea of owning one of these in the future. Is it your first Lexus? If not, how does it compare to others you have owned?

Saw my very first one of these 'live' last week. I have just purchased a static caravan and my next door neighbour has one, apparently it's his fourth!

Every time I look out of the window there he is with his shammy lovingly tending it.

Enjoy your new motor.

You and me both Jonathan.

Thanks for the replies. Its my first Lexus and so far I am very impressed with it.

My daily is a Chysler 300C which I love but is definitely "cheap and cheerful" next to the SC.

I have a couple of US V8's which are weekend hobby cars. 91 C4 Corvette and a 97 Z28 Camaro both 5.7L. They are both very ragged compared to the silky SC V8 :)

I'll try to upload some pics soon. Cheers,
