As Exciting As A Trip To The Post Office: 2004 Lexus SC430
If you want a handsome late-model 2+2 convertible I think the Lexus SC430 should be on your short list. It won’t handle as well as a 911 convertible, or do big manly burnouts like a Mustang ragtop, or make you look as sexy as a late model Saab ragtop, but for a car that performs the A-to-B and back again driving needs, you’ll probably not find anything better than a late model Lexus. Find this 2004 Lexus SC430 offered for $13,500 in San Diego, CA via craigslist.

2nd owner, very reliable and in pristine condition. Ive maintained this car meticulously since day 1, timing belt replaced at 80k miles, just put brand new set of Bridgestone tires, spark plugs, all fluids flushed, & always kept it garaged. Fully loaded with black leather interior in mint condition, hard power top, premium 18″ Lexus OEM wheels, new brakes/rotors, 130k miles strictly freeway, ice cold ac, key less entry/alarm, power everything (windows, door locks, mirrors, and seats), etc. No mechanical issues at all, needs nothing! Very clean inside & out. Asking only $13,500 for this desirable Japanese convertible!

from DTs blurb… you’ll probably not find anything better than a late model Lexus. Find this 2004 Lexus SC430… Is this to imply that “late model” is a term that applies to 17 year old cars?
This car having back seats is weird. No live human can fit back there.
I think it’s more about having a place to actually carry something…like a ladies purse, or a few groceries, or that package you’re dropping at the post office. Hardly possible in most 2-seat sporty cars.
I can see that, but it if that is the purpose why not make the space more useable if you’re doing that instead of faux seats with head rests. Giving it a closer look it’s the second set of head rests with the top down that make it weird.
