I ALSO HAVE A 2004 SC430 AND WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK ONE DAY AND HEARD A CRACK BUT I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS ODD. ABT A WEEK LATER I HAPPENED TO LOOK BEHIND THE MIRROR IN THE TOP CENTER AND IT WAS A SMALL CRACK THERE. LUCKILY, AS SOON AS I SAW IT I CALLED NATIONWIDE AND THEY CAME TO REPAIR IT FOR ME, LEAVING JUST A TINY MARK, SO I'M PRAYING IT STAYS LIKE THAT AND DOESN'T SPREAD B/C I CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID ITS NEAR $1200 TO HAVE WINDSHIELD REPLACED! BUT IT'S IRONIC HOW IT CHIPPED IN THE SAME SPOT RT BEHIND THE FRONT MIRROR WITH YOURS ALSO.

Been a while since I have been to this forum. From the looks of it, not many other people have visited either. Anyway. . . . . . walked into my garage Friday morning last week to take my wifes 2006 SC430 to get her VAIS XM module installed and guess what? The windshield was cracked. She had no idea. A nice crack from the passenger side 1/4 of the way across the windshield. She took it to the dealership today and they confirmed a stress crack which will be replaced under warranty. Sounds like a pattern forming with the SC's. I think the roof closes to hard, something Lexus probably needs to take a look at.

I was wondering if I can change the setting in my navigation to allow me to have the passenger program the unit will I am driving. In my Garmin 2620 I can disable the safe mode unit to allow this.

Any Idea when Sc will do a full remodel by stormbringer1

Sorry I don't read this forum that much mostly the GX and Shelby forums. Does anyone know when this model is planned for a full remodel? Haven't heard that much and a few years ago Toyota made a SC model for the car show, any news on that also? thnaks

Hi "scsc430",
 
I'm also going to be taking the plunge on an '06 SC 430. Since it's been about two years since your posting, I was wondering how you've enjoyed or not enjoyed your car the last two years. Any regrets? Have you had windshield cracking problems? Did you find run flats not worth replacing once they've worn out?
And would you recommend the extended warranty? I'm looking at a used '06 with 12k miles. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
 
Sal

Hey everyone,
  
I took the plunge today, and put down a deposit for an '06 SC 430 blue/saddle. I'm from South Carolina, but the car is coming from Florida by truck within the next 7-10 days. (I'm probably not going to sleep a bit until I get the call form the dealer.) I've been reading all of these postings carefully, as well as doing a lot of Internet research, and it seems that, in spite of some problems, most people are very satisfied with their cars. This will be my first Lexus, and I'm eager to see how their service after the sale stacks up.
  
A few questions...
  
1. Is it wise to purchase an extended warranty for this vehicle?
2. Are the run flats not worth replacing once they've worn out?
3. Are Zaino car care products the best ones on the market?
  
Thanks for y'alls input everyone! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts...

I own an 06 SC with 25k, my second as my previous was an '03. To answer your questions:
1) depends on how long you want to keep it. While extremely reliable they are not cheap to fix. If you were to have any problems with the roof, for instance, that might cost the equivalent of the extended warranty. I am covered for 5yrs/100k.
2) I ditched the run flats on both my SCs, never looked back. Keep both a ContiComfort kit(Tire Rack) as well as a puncture repair kit. Completely different ride with standard tires.
3) Simply put, YES Zaino is all I use at this point, my SC is black/black. I have tried most everything out there and Zaino gets my vote.
Good luck and congrats,
JTMav

Thanks! And the black/black is really sharp. That's exactly what I'm looking at too. I appreciate the advice. Thanks again.

2005 SC 430: Antenna Goes Up, then Retracts - ?Normal by docrock143

Hi all...new to the SC 430 family. Just got a 2005 silver SC 430 with 22K miles - a very nice machine! A quick question. I notice that when I turn the radio on, the rear antenna extends fully, then retracts about 1/3 of the way back. Is that normal operation? Or does this need to be checked out by the dealer?
 
Thanks!
Alan
P.S. Any particular quirks on the SC that I need to know about?
