Review 2 of 79

Price Paid:  $62000.00 from Lexus of Jacksonvill

Year / Model Reviewed:
2005 SC 430

Strengths:
Looks great; I hope it drives more smoothly & quieter , when I get my new non flat tires next week; Everything else I love about the tire

Weaknesses:
Run flat tires.

Summary:
Car is great to look at, but the irritating issue has been the tires. We had problems beginning at 8500 miles ended up with a cut tire at around 13,000 in which the tire dealership stated it was defective. The tire company replaced the tire. The tires needed to be replaced at that point. The lexus dealership (Jacksonville) offered no monetary assistance unless we replaced with run flats. They sent me a quote for regular tires & the reviews actually said that the survey showed that the customers who had that tire would not purchase them again. So much for advice. My Lexus is setting in my garage with another cut tire ( same wheel; looks like an identical cut). I now suspect that the wheels are causing the problems. I have not hit any large pot holes but I'm sure I have driven on rough highways. I live in a rural setting & no one stocks this tire, even in Tallahassee , Fla, which is where I had my first issue. I was towed home. My car will now be towed to the Macon dealership & I will never recommend the Lexus of Jacksonville as they have been absolutely no help. I've owned 2 infiniti's & the service was always great.

Review 3 of 79

Price Paid:  $0.00

Year / Model Reviewed:
2004 SC 430

Strengths:
Its an amazing car.

Weaknesses:
The lexus dealership hasn't given me one as a gift.

Summary:
What an amazing car! One day I will purchase this baby on my own--> but for now I'm in school and I have a ways to go before I start making sc 430 money. I just wanted to write a review-- and pretend I owned the sc 430 just for kicks. Yeah, feel free to buy me one if you like :) I'm just kidding, if you have this car, I'm happy for you, I hope you enjoy it.

Similar Products Used:
Yeah right--- the closest I've come to a similar product is driving a '95 toyota corolla and sharing it with my two brothers. But thats okay I have a good imagination.

Review 4 of 79

Price Paid:  $70000.00 from Rallye Lexus

Year / Model Reviewed:
2003 SC 430

Strengths:
Hanlding, acceleration, style.

Weaknesses:
No front end. Wheel covers will get beat up and tires will have to be replaced regularly. No traction in winter so you have to put snow tires on which cost $400 each and dealers charge over $400 to balance and put on the car.

Summary:
Great look, terrific handling and acceleration. No front end. Be prepared to replace $400 tires long before they wear out. Hard top goes automatically into trunk within 30 seconds. Fun to drive but please do not hit anything a normal city street. Great show room drive. However, when you hit a pebble you will know it and be prepared to go into your pocket to replace very expensive tires that never go flat.

Similar Products Used:
I have had Jaguars which never incurred these problems. I have had over a half dozen leased cars and no one but Toyota has asked for money because their car has no front end.
