2003 Lexus SC430

Date of inspection: 9/10/2026

2003 Lexus SC430

Summary

The SC430 replaced the SC300/400 sport coupes and was only available as a convertible with a body-color power-retractable hardtop. This example is finished in Millennium Silver Metallic (1C0) and features HID headlights, fog lights, a rear decklid spoiler, power-adjustable side mirrors, and dual exhaust outlets.

The 18″ dish-style five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tires. The car is equipped with traction control and four-wheel independent double-wishbone suspension, and braking is handled by four-wheel disc brakes with ventilated front rotors.

The cabin seating surfaces are upholstered in Saddle leather, while wood trim accents the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Amenities include heated power-adjustable front bucket seats, front-seat position memory settings, twin rear seats, navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, a nine-speaker Mark Levinson sound system, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo with an in-dash six-disc CD changer.


The wood- and leather-trimmed steering wheel fronts a 180-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer indicates 34k miles.


The 4.3-liter 3UZ-FE V8 features dual overhead camshafts as well as VVT-i variable valve timing. Factory-rated output was 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque when new. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.


Power is sent to the rear wheels via a five-speed automatic transmission.
