Just started researching for what year to purchase and first note is post 2005/6 shows upgrades and 6 speed auto box apart from asking the dealer/owner how would one differentiate between a 5 speed and 6 speed car?
Next, whilst looking through previous posting within this site I see several references to continual problems with the electric ariel, was this an initial promlem that Lexus had with their early cars which they later sorted on later models or did they continue to fit problem ariels and even replacement ones?
Other matters learnt so far.
Don't buy model with run flat tyres.
Problems with the metal TPMS valves.
Roof should open/ close within 25 sec
Any others to consider?
Obviosly the checking of every fitting and device will be essential but not easy on an unfamiliar vehicle, this is where I hope the members and current and ex SC430 owners can help?
Thanks for any help and advice you can offer. Mick
