Hey all, I hope you are all well? I am still loving my '04 RX 300 and Lexus Glasgow loaned myself their new RX 450h F Sport Takumi. It got myself thinking about the technology & how far Lexus has came over the last 15 years or so! My main thought is however, the second gen RX can be had for around £3-5k these days and the new RX 450h that I tested was over £62k! I know we all love our Lexus RX models regardless of year, I was just thinking with regards to everything the mk2 offers is the mk4 worth £55k+ more? What are your thoughts on the RX? (I've seen/heard from some of you great prices that you guys have paid for 2nd gen RX models)

Hi Eddie, I bought my SC430 in March (virtually from Facebook marketplace). The main issue/common problem is the water pump (& I believe cambelt) that needs replaced every 100k miles or 10 years. (the v8 is an interference motor so if it breaks it damages components vs the V6 motors). I have had issues with my O2 sensor (still ongoing to resolve) and with the age of the car just check the radio works and the roof works 🙂 Some owners put the cars on normal tyres as the run flats can be a little firm. I hope this helps??

I also made a video of my trip if you wish to see my SC 430 on the NC 500 in more detail? 🙂

Good eye, yeah it is near the Applecross section of the route! Did you take your ISF?

Hey everyone, I am not long back from taking my Lexus SC 430 around the north coast 500 (NC 500). I actually managed just over 700 miles in 3 days in the SC. I highly recommend the route to anyone that is yet to travel around the north of Scotland? My top tip would be to top up your fuel when you can as the petrol stations are few and far between! Please see some photos of my travel below 🙂 Enjoy, Thomas

Here is a video I made of his car last year if you wish to see his exact model?

just over £27,000 he paid for it 🙂

No worries, just thought I would mention haha 🙂

Thanks Phil, I will try upload some today 🙂

Here is a photo of my RX300 🙂

Hi Matthew, Interestingly I am actually selling my 2004 Lexus RX300 (L300 BCN is the plate). I am based in Glasgow but thought I'd mention it as you said you were looking 🙂

Congrats on your CT, its a great car! My dad got a '19 last year and is loving it (frequently getting over 50mpg)

Hello Hello everyone, I own a 2004 SC430, I look forward to chatting you all 🙂
