I’ve always found them more attractive than the SC.

Because you have no need for a sedan, so why not get one when you’re older?

.... and SC’s are better.

I think the SC is more attractive, but the GS is okay.

Other than it being somewhat ungainly in the styling department, there is no reason not to look at these. They’re great. I would love to have a next-gen GS430, I think they’re amazing.

But a clean SC is hard to find, let alone the updated models.

That’s a lot of miles, but it’s super clean, has most of its records, and is well priced. I think you would have to be crazy not to buy it. Let the V8 flow through you.

What ever the reason, I was a master tech in this era and will always have to hookup with Lexus directly. In that case..

Go for a GS430 for sure man. Less of a pain when it comes to maintanance

Honestly these have always been a favorite of mine. I saw a mid-2000s one with new GS wheels and it looked great. Luxurious, relatively fast, and tend to be bullet proof mechanically.

do you own your own wellness distribution business and want other to ask you about how they too could become independently wealthy?

djmt1 > TheHondaBro 04/28/2016 at 17:01

Because if you’re no longer “a 2 door person” than go the whole way and enjoy that good life luxury. Get an LS instead.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > TheHondaBro 04/28/2016 at 17:03

My friend has a 430 and loves it. They are fantastic cars, and very reliable. The bad news is that makes them expensive, but the good news is it will be worth more when you go to sell it.

Why not? Make sure the timing belt is done, and put it on Bilstein B14s to take some of the boring out. I’d do it, if I had space and a Miata for the stick shift jones.

You could probably buy an LS.

I like them, but you should drive a few and check them out first obviously. In theory it’s a cool car - but 300hp out of a 4.3l V8 in a car that weighs close to 4,000lbs and gets 21mpg highway max...might not be as great as it sounds, especially compared to modern cars. But if its just a get around car that’s not going to be a commuter car and you don’t expect spirited driving in it, probably a good buy.

I secretly love the SC430 convertibles...so weird and awesome (and absolutely impractical). The design is brilliant though - especially given how few they sold it’s going to be a classic someday.

I had a 95 GS. I loved everything but the repair costs. As a poor college student, probably wasn’t the best car but it was a hand me down so I couldn’t and still won’t complain.

I won't say give up on your quest for a good SC but you can't really go wrong with one of these. They're amazing highway cruisers so if you get one, hit the open road asap.

It’s not an SC400.

I had to stop in the middle of Alabama twice to get it. What a case study of people.. On the ticket side though, Just watch the 2uz. I’m just glad I haven’t driven to many 3uz otherwise I would have gotten 3 more tickets. I have 1 with the 1uz and 2 with the 2uz.

Get one! I almost got a gs430 (like 5 years ago) but had some issues with the seller. Somehow ended up with a SC400 (that I put less than 2000 miles on a year......) And don’t hate me for those wheels, it came with the car, I have different wheels on there now.

PS: I don’t know how to oppo so i’m not an author (i think that’s what it’s called). But a few days ago I saw a REAL 959 on the freeway and made a post about it, how do I share with more of u guys?
