The 2006 Lexus SC 430 received some minor exterior trim adjustments. A new six-speed automatic transmission replaced the five-speed. This second generation SC had received a much-needed redesign in 2001, and a new retractable-roof hard top coupe emerged. The SC 430, as its name indictates, utilized the same engine as the significantly larger Lexus flagship, the LS 430. The convertible coupe has also been marked by its high resale value.
The SC engine was a 4.3 liter V-8, which provided 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. The coupe was surprisingly heavy. At over 3800 pounds, it weighed considerably more than the IS sedan, and earlier versions of the ES and GS series. Despite its bulk, the SC 430 accelerated form 0 to 60 mph in six seconds. Large brakes halted the SC from 60 mph to a stop in just 121 feet. Fuel economy was rated at 18/23 mpg.
The SC 430 embodied the original Lexus goal of combining European styling and luxury with Japanese durability. The new SC design was the product of a collaborative effort with Europeans. The retractable roof seemed to be the hands-down favorite feature. Because the coupe was positioned at the high end of the Lexus price scale, its standard amenities were similar to that of the LS. A DVD-based navigation system, Bluetooth, Mark Levinson audio, walnut trim, and headlamp washers were all included.

(21 reviews)This has to be one of the best cars ever!!! How many cars get attention everywhere you go and how many are almost 7 years old. Absolutely a fun car to drive, well built, solid and only option available was color, everything else comes standard including AM/FM 6 disk CD changer and cassette premium stereo, Bluetooth phone connectivity, leather seats and trim, real wood accents, navigation, memory seats and side mirrors, lighted door sills, adaptive headlamps and one button roof operation. On top of that, it is comfortable on long drives and the look and feel of luxury is top notch, but this is more luxury cruiser than a performance sports car although the 8 cylinder engine gets you past the speed limit uneventfully if you are not paying attention!
Great performance! Luxury ride in a sports car! Lexus quality! They are pricey for their age, but worth it.
If you want a world class sports car that rides like a large luxury car this is the one for you. The interior is spacious for two people and very well appointed. The leather and burled wood accents and excellent. The car is powerful (V8) and cruises effortlessly at turnpike speeds.
This convertible is terrific. It has the famous, everlasting 4.3L V-8, plenty of power and which will probably run until 2050...handles great and is so smooth. Very lux ride. Comfortable. And looks very sharp; styling is clean and sharp. Good value too.
Have had an 04 for 18 years and looks like new. No major problems but gas mileage for in town is quite low. Get many people asking me about the car and think it will be a classic like my former Mercedes SL560 in new condition. Needs regular maintenance of course. Like having a back seat area for storage when necessary, and for my golden Buddy. Usually have the top down with Bud’s head looking out the top. Looking for a lower mileage of the same car as I now have about 175k miles. Great car overall.
