Selling my wife's beautiful, Low Mileage SC430 Hardtop/Convertible. Since it's original delivery in March 05, this car has been meticulously cared for, never smoked in and has been stored in winters with only an annual average of 3,200 miles per summer. This Lexus color is called Absolutely Red with Saddle interior is beautiful with the top up or top down. Most SC's are usually white, black or silver, so this car in red with saddle interior is very unusual and striking. This SC is Fully Loaded With All Power Including 4.3 Liter 300 Horsepower V8 (other years were only 285 hp) 5-Speed Automatic Overdrive Transmission, Power Convertible Hard Top, Heated Seats With Lexus Memory Seats for both driver and passenger, Xenon Headlamps, Genuine Wood Trimmed Interior, DVD Based Navigation System, Premium Mark Levinson AM/FM Stereo Cassette Audio System With 6 Disc In-Dash CD Changer, Dual Zone Automatic Climate Controlled Air Conditioning, Universal Homelink Transmitter, Vehicle Stability Control, Dual Front And Side Airbags, Remote Key-less Entry System with one key and one valet key, Power Tilt/Telescopic Steering Wheel, And 18" Aluminum Alloy Wheels. . I installed custom, chrome, after market wheels with Michelin Pilot, Sport, A/S, Plus, Tires, size 245 x 45 x 18. These tires and wheels have approx. 5,000 miles and show no signs of ware. The Michilen, Pilot, Sport, Plus tires are Michelin's best all-season, high mileage tire for this vehicle with an estimated tire life of 45,000. These new wheels, wheel locks and tires were purchased through Discount Tire, were over $2,200. I believe Discount Tire will contine to balance and rotate this set of tires and wheels through out their lifetime at all Discount Tire locations. A second set of wheels and tires are also included. They are the original Lexus wheels and tires without any flaws or curb rash. The tires are the Lexus, optional, 245 x 40 x 18, Dunlop, Run-Flat tires with 7/32 tread remaining. They start with 11/32 so there is plenty of good tire life remaining. Original wheel locks are also included. If you do not want both the custom wheels with Michelin tires and/or the original Lexus wheels with Dunlop tires, let me know and I can deduct some $$ from the selling price. Gas mileage is really good for a 300 HP, Luxury Touring car of this type. We get 18.5 mpg around town and as much as 28 mpg on the highway.This is a like new, obviously pampered car and everything works as you would expect it to. You Will Love EVERYTHING About This Incredibly Nice, Non-Smoker's Vehicle. You Can Enjoy All The Pleasure Of Owning A Like-New Car at a very reasonable price. I was going to purchase an extended warranty but this car has not offered any problems at all, so I did not feel it necessary. Early on, a new battery was installed Feb. 06, and I installed another new battery this fall. A consolidated summary of the service records is included in the pictures and I also have the complete/expanded version of every service record since the original delivery date. Both 5,000 mile and 10,000 mile service have been performed, on schedule, by Lexus. We are the 2nd owners. Originally, the car was deliverd to a lady in upstate New York and only driving the car at her summer place. There is a discrepancy between the eBay Auto Check and Car Fax reports. Car Fax indicates there has NOT been any body repairs, but, Auto Check indicates there is an accident record. When I purchased the car in October, 2008, the lower front valance/bumper was refinished due to small paint nicks. Apparently this is what Auto Check is referring too. As a result, I have included the clear Car Fax report in addition to two complete inspection reports by my local Lexus dealer in Nashville, TN to confirm the the car has not been damaged in any way. This is a flawless car with only a front bumper re-paint which I would suggest for most any used car for a new appearence. I live in Brentwood, TN (Nashville suburb) and will assist with nearby delivery and/or airport pick up.I am 64, not a dealer of any kind and I highly value my feedback rating of 100%. I describe everything with 110% accuracy and include detailed pictures and records. More are available as requested. (Ever see anyone post pictures of their wheel wells and ALL service records since new?) To make sure I keep that rating and keep everyone very happy, I will assist anyone with their pre-inspection of this vehicle during bidding. For the winning bidder, upon your arrival to pick up the car and your final inspection, if you choose to not take the car for any reason, I will refund your deposit less the eBay selling fees. You can't beat that anywhere, so bid with complete confidence and bid often. If anyone has any questions please contact me.On Dec-13-11 at 08:44:59 PST, seller added the following information: I have a carpeted and heated garage and happy to assist anyone with any type of inspection at any time.On Dec-15-11 at 15:03:17 PST, seller added the following information: Additional information 12-15-11 in response to question from a bidder. To help everyone feel more comfortable with the car, I have had my local Lexus dealer inspect the car twice for damage of any kind. They verify, in writing, the only thing the car has had, is a repaint of the lower, front bumper area. Those receipts and reports are also attached in the description as part of the pictures. I have tried to contact Auto Check to correct their information both in writing and by phone, but they do not respond. I don't know that there is anything more I can do except encourage bidders to come look at the car and/or have it inspected again. If you find anything that I have not already disclosed, I'll pay for your inspection. All I can do now is assure you that the car is flawless and super premium in every way.
