The not so bad...but truth :) - Imagine THAT in a car sale!

~Car IS 13 years old so not PERFECT.... MOST PROMINENT: 2 small (nickel sized or less) road debris dings on rear passenger quarter panel next to each other (area of both within credit card size), Rear bumper paint touch up covered where bumper sticker was previously, 1 small (credit card size area) on hood where clear coat compromised and touched up. And A few minor dings (no paint compromised and only seen in certain light), The front bumper has some minor (approx. 1-4 mm, touched up) chips in the paint from road debris.
~Bad Catalytic converter code started a couple weeks after all sensors (that blew bad codes) in car replaced. I was going to replace or remove and put straight pipes on as per mechanic but now selling for larger car. Florida no longer requires emission inspections but blows clean regardless. Just happened and do not notice any reduced performance or decrease in fuel economy. *Therefore occasionally ‘Check Engine’ and ‘VSC lights’ come on.
~Servo motor in AC system occasionally makes noise when you turn on car (changing 'mode' or 'airflow' stops it quickly) - but after recently replacing AC compressor tech said not to bother replacing as it still works fine.
~Purchased and cut Primary Key but never had it programmed (only came with Valet key)

AUTOCHECK shows 5 CALCULATED OWNERS...to the best of my knowledge and my riginal CarFax I am the 3rd owner/driver

(Original Owner, 2 others were title/location transfers within a family and or dealership prior to sale, and my duplicate title issued in paper form instead of electronic.)

The 2003 Lexus SC430 set the standards for luxury sports coupes.

The second-generation coupe was also the first-generation Lexus convertible, thanks to an automatic convertible hard top. Press a button, wait a few seconds, and enjoy sunshine and wind in your hair. Once closed, the top seals tight to transform the SC 430 into a hardtop coupe possessing superior wind noise suppression. With a 300-horsepower V8 and sport-tuned suspension, it is much more of a sports car than the original SC400, with no loss of Lexus luxury.

The only factory options for the SC 430 include a rear spoiler (yes, run-flat tires (no, replaced) and wheels (yes, 5 spoke Chrome Alloy)
All this and more:
Engine 4.3L Gas V8
Horsepower 300 @ 5600RPM
Torque 325 @ 3400 RPM
Drivetrain RWD
Transmission 5speed Autotmatic with OD
W/ Electronically Controlled Transmission (ECT) Power Button
